Thanks for the advice! I've honestly never thought of paint metering. I suppose you're right though because damage may not be recorded if sustained at the tracked and repaired. But I would hope most sellers would disclose such.

It was Red or Yellow only for me from the get go. Well it would have been white if my wife didn't have a say but gotta keep the better half happy and she said no more white cars. I was totaly OK with red or yellow though.

I was tempted with alot of great black cars that came on the market while I was looking, I even came VERY VERY close to closing the deal on one of them because it was such a great deal but in the end I'm glad I held out for one of the color's on my list.

I appreciate the moral support. I tend to be stubborn about sticking to my guns especially if I think I may have any regret. And you're absolutely right...there are alot of great deals on black right now. I just want to hold out a little longer for choice number one. Also...yellow keeps sneaking a foot into my options mostly because its one of my alma mater colors and I think it be nice to show support....though I also think that's not enough reason for me to choose a color I do not prefer.

Thanks, hopefully I will be pleasantly surprised how fast I find mine
