Black or White?

I'm getting really, really close to purchasing a 2004 Cayenne Turbo. Here are my 2 current options. I just can't decide which is better. I prefer the white color, because this will be my daily driver. Though, the warranty on the black is attractive.

Both 2004
Both 1 owner
Both have Nav and similar options, nothing too dissimilar

White has 9000 miles and remainder of original factory warranty, $68k.


Black has 4000 miles and is certified pre-owned. $72k
The only thing I don't like is this vehicle has the aluminum exterior trim, I much prefer the blackout option. How much would this be aftermarket?

Hmmm... The choices one must make.

The blackout option is 2k, including parts and install. 72k is the asking price, I have not negotiated a deal just yet.

I need to part with my Lexus 400h (h if for hybrid). Not sure if I will trade or just sell it myself.

Go with black. The Cayenne looks amazing in black, plus its a CPO with less miles.

The CPO would sway me any day if you plan on keeping it for a bit, plus less miles as mentioned above. Also I love black so wouldn't even be an option for me. I'm always getting compliments on my car wherever I go. Almost a daily thing. Even many from other Cayenne owners, technicians, and service reps at the couple of dealers I frequent for service and mods. Some want to know "what special model is that Cayenne, I want to get that kind." No special model, just alot of tequipment add-ons. I do like the blackout, especially how AMG ETR's was put together, but I also like the contrasting trim. Any way you serve em' up, they are sweeeet!

Evan - did you ever look into black pipes. I have seen a sweet set, they are "black chrome" quad tips which would fit onto stock exhaust. That would "complete" the look and be a super, super dooper stealth!

Evan,
Why don't you just sell me your Stealth? Everything in life is for sale, correct?

That is one bad machine...

Correct, but the end of that statement is "at the right price"
I am sure my dad would be open to an offer he couldn't refuse on the truck

Closest I could find right quick. But the larger could work and I know Gemballa makes a whole exhaust in black, including tips.

Hope this is a start...
