Yellow FTW..less miles and easier to maintain. Black is hard to keep clean. =) GL and keep us posted!

yellow seems like a bit of a better deal, other then the miles.. it's all color choice for u.. i own black, and it's hard to keep clean

if u own yellow. ima say it's gonna be hard to hide from cops (they'll radar u from a mile away even if ur going speedlimit and the person next to u is doing 100mph! )

I say go for the black one. Yellow is played out, IMO. Plus, the yellow one is older. Black one FTW!

Welcome go with the yellow one, because the color is rarer, compared to black which you see all the time.

Thank you for all ur comments, I just saw the yellow today...yea, it looks great and new... but that one already replaced the front bumper and the paint is not matching. When i was test try it, the trans. is still good but i could not go faster because there was a cop behind me, hehehe!!!! Finally, the price was too high with the 2002...15000USD and i could not make it.... then go back to the black one but i have to wait almost three weeks for the owner to get the new title...
