considering selling the S for color change
Thinking about selling the S looking to move to a Sapphire blue...Thoughts? Am I crazy?
To be honest I love my ride and i would be happy to keep it for another 5 years but after 14 months I sorta wish I would have held out for the Sapphire Blue I originally wanted. I know finding a Manual transmission equipped as I wanted was kind of a unicorn and I was tired of looking so after a year i caved for the next best thing, white. That being said while I know it makes little sense and i love my car I am considering selling and searching again for a Manual Sapphire blue S, S4, or GTS.
This might be a faze but I can't stop thinking about it.
Any input would be much appreciated. I know when I was finalizing the purchase a couple people mentioned white was a safe color for resale but I didn't buy it as an investment I got it to enjoy. I can't imagine the blue down the road would hurt that much when selling any way but I could be wrong.

Wrap it blue.

I wanted sapphire blue so badly, too. But, I tried to convince myself that since my daily driver is lapis blue (a fairly similar colour on my Golf R), that I didn't need two.
Unfortunately, it's just so much nicer than guards red.
Like LexVan says, wrapping might make sense. I think if I went that route, I'd like to go a nice metallic purple. I saw a gorgeous PTS purple on here a little while ago, great inspiration.

I did this same thing a few years ago........
Sprint Blue RS4 ....... to a Ibis White w/Ti package RS4.
Was the best decision I ever made. Loved the white car.

I also agree with wrapping it...

I understand the urge, I myself am starting to be obsessed with Carmine red...
I am curious, if you were to wrap it, what would it entail in terms of paperwork (i.e retitle, etc), would it be complicated and expensive to deal with?

LexVan I can't thank you enough!!!
Man thats why i love this place....I didn't even consider wrapping!!!
I don't know why I didn't think of it, I have everything I want besides the color. Wrapping might be the solution as long as I can find someone to do it right and its easy to maintain. I am completely unfamiliar with the process and maintenance but I think I will do some homework and report back.
Any one have any experience in getting a wrap and what was your experience like??? Better yet any one have a recommendation to get it done in or around Atlanta??? Lastly any idea what a quality wrap will cost?
I appreciate all the input guys.
