I'm a black interior guy myself. I had an '01 White on Black Max. Loved it.

Unfortunately, the car I've found a slightly used '05 White TL on Tan is not my first choice, but it appears to be a deal I can't pass on.

Any White/tan fans out there? Any pics, you mind sharing? Of your interiors, etc.?

Thanks!

I am! Parchment is a little more labor-intensive to keep clean but I think its a sharp color. I like the "plood" trim and contrast with the black dash and door panels. Besides, I don't know where you live but it is definitely a "cooler" color in our Florida heat.

Houston!

How do you care for your lighter leather?

And what do you think of an '05 used WDP 6MT w/ 3k miles for 28K? It will include the extra year and 12K miles bumper to bumper.

You'll find mixed responses to the leather care question. Some guys use Lexol and others use Zaino while still others use less expensive stuff like Meguiars or other Walmart stuff. I currently am using Zaino's "leather in a bottle". It works good and smells even better but when its gone I'll probably go the Lexol route. As far as the car is concerned, that sounds like a decent deal. I'm assuming its without navi. Just for posterity's sake, I would run it through kbb.com and see what they come up with. Perhaps there is still room to dicker.

I have an 04 WDP with parchment interior.. it just seems so classy to me I love it.. Of course here in Florida a light car with a light interior is much cooler.
I use Zaino or Meguiars polish on the outside of the car, but for the leather I, so far, have used only the Armorall leather wipes. they seem to work fine.. But there in not a lot of need for cleaning my interior. I don't eat in the car, I very seldom have anyone else in my car, when we go somewhere as a family we take the wife's Honda Element. My teenage son has only been in my car one time. Of course he has his own car, my wife's old Honda Civic, and at 16 rarely goes with us anyway. So it is mostly a matter of, "if you don't get it dirty there is no need to clean"

I love love the wdp/parchmnt combo! the white isn't hard to keep clean, so you only really have to worry about the interior.

I have had two WDP/Parch TLs. 03 and 05. It looks like the 05 is whiter if I put them together.
