white cars are less dirty than other color in appearance of course.

It seems strange but its true.

Old VIN ended in: 414112

New VIN ends in: 473843

So, substantially later in production...

Though I think your black car is fixable, go for the white one.  Besides the reality that once you lose confidence in a car it is hard to gain it back, black on black during the summer is no fun, even here. 

good luck with the replacement stu

i can't help but wonder what is going to happen to the black one  
i'll feel bad for whoever buys it off the used car lot

Last I heard was that the body control module wasn't being ordered, they didn't think that software was the culprit...  They were onto a new engine control module.

I'm sure they'll get it & I'm sure it'll be a great car for someone...  I just didn't trust it after all that nonsense.

Always better to look at the production date stamp.

Lets say the black car shows its build date as 4/2012, and the white car shows 6/2012.

My gf's Abarth is a good example of a car that had a lower VIN number than the two other Abarths that were on dealer lot, but it was built and arrived to the dealer weeks after the previous two did. I believe for her car, lack of 16" wheels at the factory is what held up her car, while both of the newer VIN cars that arrived before it had the 17" wheels.

BC.
