Congrats on your F! I like the Obsidian on Alpine combo. You're going to enjoy it! But cleaning is a PITA, both inside and out. Time to stock up on detailing supplies!

Was this a private party sale? If is was at a dealer which one? I'm trying to do my research since I'm hoping to pick one up after my first born arrives in may. TIA.

As said before, good luck keeping that Obsidian clean for more than 24 hours! I just replaced mine and one of my requirements was any color other than black. About the interior, just keep a bottle of Griot's Leather Care Spray in the car and you'll be OK. Congrats on the new car!

I just sold mine yesterday! So have contacted me, was offering lower than dealer! haha

Car was still under warranty and with 36,700 miles. Same color and tags don't expire till Dec 2012.

Nice car but yep black is hard to keep clean. Waxed and clay bar, drove for one day and dusty again! The ISF might be my last black car even thought it's the best color for a car in my opinion.

Yea California charges more. I bought mine from Ohio in August 2011 for 41.5k at the time when southern CA was charging 46-49k.
