You should get an 04 manual, no oil consumption problem and there are white with black interiors, just hard to find
The underlined statement above makes it sound like ALL 05-06 6mt's have oil consumption. This is incorrect. They are prone to OC issues but it is a hit or miss problem. Because of this I would recommend an extended warranty.

IMO if he buys a black on black sedan and down the line wants to paint it white there's nothing wrong with a black engine bay and black trunk jam if he plans on keeping the car for a while, if it was a white car with gray jams that's different, is like painting the roof black, is a different color and looks good

I am going for the black and white theme thats why I want the black interior.

Is there anyway I can tell if it does or is going to have the problem.

+1,000,000 to that! Just get an 03 or 04. They're availible (though rare) in Ivory Pearl white (aka IP) with black interior, they don't have the oil consumption problem, And a lot of people like the looks of a 03/04 with the Areo package better than the 05/06 anyway.

Now the only trick is finding one!

BTW. Here's an 03 with black interior. It's AT and doesn't have the areo pkg though. But you get the idea.

I hope they still have it in like 2 weeks thats exactly what I want. Less miles would be nice but it 30k is still lower enough for me.

You are right only because black tends to do with everything...so in a way it will look like it's suppos to be like that.


But if the car is originally red or something and you paint it a different color, then it won't look so hot when you open the door on your black car and see red door jambs or a red engine bay.
