Default white w/ Blk or Blk w/ Saddle

I waited for this combo for about 6 months, till I came across the Black with Saddle Interior.

It was love at first site. I am still a fan of the White w/ black interior though.

40k is a bit high maybe low 30s.

It took me over a year to find that color combo with nav.
However I have a 1998 model.
Damn rare

I don't intend to insult anyone who has this color, but I really don't like it. I agree that white on black is a great combination, and for those of you who have the incredibly rare 98-99 white diamond pearl on black, I think that's a very sharp look. Here's the problem. Parchment crystal is not white diamond pearl. It's not even close. If you've ever seen this color in person, you'll know what I mean. My mom bought a new 03 LS430 a few years ago and she was between white and parchment crystal. We had the dealer put the cars side by side so we could compare the colors. The problem with parchment crystal is that it is kind of a worn out, dull color. It's not white, it's not beige, it's not silver, it's just kind of "there." Anyway, that's just my opinion.

Default don't get me wrong, it's still a nice car but.......

I agree with e, Parchment ,IMO, does not look so great in person. It looks like a dirty white car, almost a greyish white. Parchment/black int is not rare like the dwp/black that 1Sick used to have.

If you have a white car already, just order the paint and have your car resprayed Why spend 40k on a car that is no different than other 2nd gen gs's?

That's exactly it, Chuck (and the way I described it to my mom). It looks like a dirty white.
