Somewhere between.
When I was shopping, IP was not my first choice, and it had a dent on the rear bumper.
But the price was right, and it wasn't BS, DG or DP (there are waaaaaay to many of those around Tallahassee)
For the most part, I just ignored the colors I wasn't interested in.
Since you're looking solely for a 6MT, which is pretty rare, you might have to bend a little on color choice.
Ideally, I would have bought a 6MT in CB with black interior and the Areo kit, (in fact I had a line on one with everything but areo, but it sold too quickly)
You'll have to decide how important each choice is (transmission, color, interior color, nav, etc...) and in the end you might have to resort to a good ol' pro-con chart.

I didn't get the color I wanted, but the one I ended up getting was the lowest mileage car in the best shape that I had looked at.
I even compared what was on the used car lot when I went to the Infiniti dealership for my pre-purchase inspection & the salesman even admitted they couldn't do any better.
I tried to be as objective about the overall condition as possible, and factor in the cost of possible repairs. Personally, I didn't want a car that I would have to put additional money into right after purchasing, so things like brakes/rotors/tires/windshield were also a consideration for me.

As for DP i hope I like the color in person. The color can look gorgeous as I have seen in the color thread, but like I said haven't seen one in person.

I probably wont end up with this car. I am trying to get an 04 desert platinum fully loaded to work out, but it hasn't yet.
