Default Color vs condition vs price

Every day, we make hunderds of choices. I am on the hunt for an S2000 and have the same choices that all of you owners faced (some probably more than once). So I thought it would be interesting to poll the group to see what was most important to you when you purchased; color, condition or price. Did you only want one color and were willing to pay more for it? Or did you want a 'deal' and were willing to live with a higher mileage car? Or maybe you wanted a car with really low miles and were willing to accept the #2 or #3 color? Or were you willing to wait it out and find one with everything. Also, how do you now feel about that decision and would you do it again? I know that there are other decisions, like AP1 vs AP2 and new vs used, but I'm trying to boil it down to these three basic ones. I'm a newbie so sorry if this has already been asked, but the search function is down.

Condition hands down for me (price was right though). I orignally wanted a Silverstone or Sebring with red interior, but now I'm happy with my Spa.

When I was searching for one, condition and price were on my priority list. I was felxible with the price as long as the condition was good. I really didn't care about the color, but I'm very happy with my NFR.

We wanted either black or white with black preferred...

Only looked for a week or so, found a black 2002 w/ 15k miles on it for $20. This was... about a month ago now.

Condition. I had a flexible price range and a few colors I would settle for. Just happened that I found a car that satisfied everything. 7995 miles (perfect condition, never even saw the rain!!!), for an awesome price, and my number one color choice.. BB! (I wanted B/R but settled for B/B )

Color - I could have easily gotten a Silverstone many times over by the time I finally found a GPW at a price I liked.

I wanted a GPW w/Red interior, but it seemed that everyone who had them wanted a premium for it. Then I found a New Formula Red in perfect condition, two sets of wheels, lots of accessories and well taken care of. Owner didn't even drive it in the rain. Now I couldn't be happier with my New Formula Red.

My priority was its condition, then the color, then the price. So essentially I wanted them all.
