Default Thoughts on Aque Blue Metalic? EDIT: thoughts on fair offer EDIT:Offer made+accepted!

Im not having luck finding a white or meteor 997.2 optioned the way I want but I came across a Aqua Blue one that is exactly what I am looking for (aside from ext. color ). Never considered it but... I kinda like it! whats the general opinion on this color? (passed on a "racing green" and "cream white" that were optioned properly because of the exterior color)




EDIT: I think I will make an offer. Its a 09 C2S with 20k miles. CPO. PDK/Chrono/sport seats/Nav/bose/BT/IPOD. Private party sale. I figure under mid 60's?

EDIT: Picken' her up on Thurs of Fri from PA...

I have Cobalt Blue. It wasn't my first choice either but I like it. Clear side markers really clean it up and it hides the dirt pretty well between washes...

clear side markets will def go on if I get it. as well as some sort of muffler mod.

need to read up on gundo vs center muffler bypass. im sure i dont want both- too loud. i want the one the wakes it up more of the 2 options but doesnt wake up the neighbors around the corner.

My Panamera S is this color. It is gorgeous. I get more compliments on this car than any other car I have ever owned, and I've had a bunch of nice cars...

Women love it, if that means anything to you.

I like the blues, as you can tell from my avatar (midnight blue).

As far as price I think lower 60's high 50s is there (59-64), but I am no expert. If you like it, dont let a grand here or there deter you. I like it.

I think it looks great. Maybe a light tint all the way around too would really make it pop. Keep us posted

Aqua and Cobalt were my 2 first choice (standard) colors by far. Not a whole lot of selection, so it didn't work out for me.

I also love this color (but changing to clear side markers is definitely the way to go)!

I wish there were more blue cars out there to choose from. It seems that over half the cars for sale are black, and some variety would be nice.

$60k would be a fair price but try for $56k. I just passed on a similar 2009 C2S cab at $59,000 because it was idling weird. It had a $105k MSRP.

The color is ok but make sure it's what you want!!! Don't settle!
