Black interior if still my favorite due to less cleaning required and a classic look.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Considering purchasing a Black / Black 996.
I swore years ago that I would never own another black exterior car after selling a black Nissan.
Opinions on the looks / care of a Black 996.
Thanks !
Downside: Shows every speck of dust, shows every swirl mark, finger print, rain drop. Absorbs heat like no other color
Upside: Stunning when clean (lasts about 15 minutes).
If I had to do it all over again: White or Silver
hard to keep clean, but I would buy another 996 in black.... I absolutely love the look enough to deal with the pain of cleaning it all the time
Many people will attest to getting black, but IMO it is the best looking color when clean... stealth
i guess i'll be the negative one
- this is my LAST black porsche! yeah, it looks gorgeous once clean and does show every speck of dust but what sux is the normal wear & tear. i keep my cars pristine but it is so friggin annoying doing a 2 day detail job and then look at your car in the sun and find imperfections in the paint(swirls, scratches, etc...)
my wife has a silver car and I KNOW it's paint cannot be as good a shape as mine but the darned thing looks like i just drove it home from the dealership
my next porsche (996 or 997 TT
) will definitely be polar silver or white (or red) no more DARK colors!
I think the choice is a matter of your preference. Are you a fan of black or are you settling for the color bc that's what you happen to find?
You should consider clear bra if you do get it since the rock chips would show everywhere. If you are against clear bra, definitely consider a lighter color.
Black interior if still my favorite due to less cleaning required and a classic look. Dark gray is cool but I don't like metropol blue or savana beige.
Nothing more beautiful than a black Porsche...BUT...you gotta work to keep that way...I always found a tough color to prevent swirl marks from showing...but, again, they are beautiful n black...
