Has anyone seen any black BH GT wagons floating around that tickle your fancy? I'm looking at one and it's a killer deal to boot... but I don't know if I love the color or if I'm even ready for the challenge of owning a black car for that matter!

Black cars are the best! Just don't buy white......

Black granite pearl is beeyotch to maintain.
A deeper black or jet gloss black is a bit easier, but after a week the paint just looks dull if you get dusty a lot. Having a garage is better.
I like the lighter colors because they're easier to maintain, they hide swirl marks better.
But a well-maintained, clean black car is hard to beat for eye-catching.

My wife's black Blazer was and her black OB is a pain to keep looking clean. The titanium color of my car is very good at hiding dirt. I do not was it that often, and it usually looks clean.

I don't think black is so hard, so far this white sucks to keep clean.

For real reason? I thought white was supposed to be fairly easy (dust wise), crazy. Sans, you're car is my hero... haha seriously though, titanium pearl is the ONLY "gold" car I can say I've ever liked... I really want a silver, white, or Titanium Pearl GT to pop up otherwise I'll probably end up with an OB limited in sage white or red.
........Unless someone can convince me to like black! Haha

Yea it drives me crazy, the best colors to get is silver and gold. They hide the dirt the best. But why hide it? then your car will be dirty. I rather see it so I can clean it.

Dude, get a black one, Tint it, put black wheels on it, and it will be dead sexy! But before that, give me my battery back! (jk, haha)

some?
Get whatever color you like the best, and quit worrying about washing it, is my advice. It's when you get it washed, and it looks the way it's supposed to, is important. No matter what color it is, you're going to notice dirt/dust/birdcrap/etc.

Chris, I'm telling you, if you found a good deal on a Black one, get it. Yes it'll look dirty more, but that's not that big of a deal. Black car's are sexy.

Fine. hopefully the current interested party will pick up my car soon so I can pick it up! I made the mistake of going to Volksport the Euro show we have down in Minneapolis and surrounding myself with Audi wagons........ Sooo my Leg should hurry up and sell before I do anything stupid!

So the end result is I'm the proud new owner of a 5MT '00 Wintergreen Metallic Outback Wagon with the cold weather package! Twas cheap and in the right place at the right time so I picked it up. It's a single owner car too and he was an older dude, so the car is damn near immaculate. Thanks for the input and hopefully my BK will end up with a good home... :-(
