Yes very nice color.. I don't like the "90% original paint" stated on the website.. Probably the typical hood/side mirror/spoiler respray. Hopefully not a rear quarter. Plus what's up with all the scratches in the engine bay. Dunno, call me ****, but for $67k and 25k miles it shouldn't need paint...
As for the paint, my car has about 27K & had (to me) too many chips & nicks on the front bumper. I had it resprayed, but they I started looking at the few small chips on the hood & mirrors, thinking "If I just got rid of those, I'd have PERFECT paint!"
Well, I've resisted the urge, realizing that I'll never have a concours car (after attending a concours & seeing what REAL clean cars look like). And thankfully, I've realized that it's much more valuable & fun to have an original one with a few tiny chips & still be able to drive it without fear.
So yes, I can totally understand how someone would partially respray a 25K mile car. Although why they didn't fix the scratches surrounding the engine bay is a mystery.
As for the price... I love it! Go baby go!
