Well JP this is one of those classic cases of coincidence or karma - I had just typed out my response, sat down and ate lunch, when my six year old was standing beside my chair and just emptied the contents of his stomach on the floor beside me (for the record - neither grape juice or banna pancakes), and I can count on one hand the number of times he has done that in six years...

they threw some serious contrast into those photos to get the pastel yellow to appear more speed yellow...

Yep. Don't know why I am always surprised at the fact that most dealers won't spend a dime to make the car appear at least proper. Well, I guess they all take the time to create the stupid vaccum strips.

Totally agree.

I do find Pastel Yellow looks much better in person vs pictures.

I like it, just say my first pastel yellow in person last week and it was much better than I had thought. Having the blue interior myself I'm a bit partial to it. I bet the car looks cool in person.

The leather needs to be completely conditioned. Looks like its seen double the mileage on the clock. Maybe they should get pointers from Victory Motors on how to get nice striping on the carpets. Poorly presented and this particular car needs to look minty to get the price they're asking.

Not a fan of the blue interior. Very polarizing and in combination with that exterior color, will be a hard sell in the future IMO.

Who the hell cares if we like it! The important thing is whether YOU like it. You will always be welcome here, we are especially proud of our weirder members, plus, you're not going to see your self coming and going in that car, like so many other combinations....Chris

That blue would not be my first choice with the pastel yellow, but it's not hideous. Those dirty, rotten, yellow-faced gauges have got to go, though.

Almost pulled the trigger on this one. I have kids and there was that blueberry/banana pancake feel to it but a couple of Renner's , including JPP, helped talk me down. Not really because of the color combo but more because of the unloved general appearance of the car-thanks ETheP as well. DID, however, pull the trigger on a (much) more conservative black on black local 993 which I am in the process of posting pics of.

Wait, JP talked somebody out of buying a car - huh - can't say I've ever heard that before, are you sure his account wasn't hacked or something?...
