As far as color, someone on here has a burgundy on tan that looks classy.

I just bought my black/black 2000 2.7 last year. It had 18k miles (19k now). I paid $18k for it which was probably high, but it was from a friend of mine that was the original owner and to say he babied it would be an understatement. He even wiped out the wheel wells every time he parked it back in the garage.

It has never been a daily driver, so I can't really comment on it always looking dirty because it has never seen rain or snow. Dust is my only problem. I can tell you that I truly enjoy spending time cleaning it in the driveway and watching my neighbors turn green with envy. It may get dirty easily, but that is the price worth paying for it looking so sweet when it is clean! If you've done your homework on it you won't regret it!

Congrats!

Congrats on the buy...I've owned numerous black on black 911s and swore I would not buy a black Boxster; well my Box S is black with Savanna, so at least I was partly on track. They are a pain to keep clean, but look so nice when so.

Enjoy the car; cleaning and polishing is part of the fun. BTW, you might try Craigslist on the Kia...that's where I found my son's Jeep Liberty.
