Hopeing someone here was familiar with the car. It looks great in the pics with 22,000 miles. 6 speed of course

. The owner said it may need front tires soon, but thats not a big deal. Is the black paint as durable as the other colors? I looked at a blue 05 here in town but the front looked like it had taken a beating with 70,000 miles. Anyway, excited about the car and any input would be great. Oh, its a base model(which I like with the blacked out trim)
