I don't think either of mine had ever been drained when I bought it, and at ~110-115k, neither were anywhere near black. There was a little bit of sludge on the magnet on the front diff, but nothing crazy.
Both were thinner than the new oil, but the color wasn't all that much darker. At first I thought the rear was really bad when I drained it, but it was the container I drained it into tricking me!
