Black is much worse at showing even dust, but regardless if black is your thing - or even if it isn't - it's still an interior/car you can get rid of quick in the future if you find something else so it's a winner.

I'm more concerned about the exterior showing dust. It looked dirty the afternoon after I washed it haha, but nothing looks as good as black paint after its been detailed. the only color id ever trade it for would be the teal.... which is my favorite color on these.

I can't stand black interiors myself. They look nice only when you have just finished vacuuming them and are hot as hell in most climates. Not worth the trouble IMO, but yes they are desired by people who completely ignore the downside.
I've owned both and personally for me they both get hot and show dirt the same. I just prefer the black interior because it makes the interior look more "updated." I always felt the tan interior looked outdated and plain. To each their own though.

In my book finding a black on black decent mile 5 spd is a dream, especially for under $4k, clean title!

Good find and welcome to CLUBLEXUS, search and you will find
