Default Olive Green Cayenne turbo - thoughts on color.

It's been a while since I've owned a Cayenne, actually missed it and have been thinking of getting rid of my under used BMW.

I found one down south, its a Olive green metallic cayenne turbo with really low miles at a great price. Seeing the SUV in photos is really hard, I'd love to hear what everyone thinks of the color... it's not your normal porsche black or silver cayenne so green might be a little too weird and hard to get rid of at the end.

thanks for all the feedback in advance.

Thats a color that you really have to see in person. If you post a pic, you may get more replies. Even so, I would go see it or find that color locally to view in different light.

If you can't post a picture of the Cayenne, could you post a picture of a jar of Gerber baby food that matches in color?

You're thinking of the wrong end of the baby.

Those are much better pictures than the ones online from the seller, I think the seller doctored them slightly as it looked more gray than green. I think I understand the fire sale pricing now, they should try selling it to someone who's color blind.

Thanks for saving me.

That color actually looks fine. And, better than some I've seen. They'll only see you briefly as you blow by them... Smile and wave.

Google Image "Olive green metallic cayenne" and there is quite the range of "green". Appears to be lighting dependent.

I like unique colors, and that car, with that price, with those miles and options looks like a really good deal. Might be tough to resell, though

There was an identical one for sale here in NVA that I was very interested in, but I just couldn't pull the green trigger. I actually test drove it twice and thought about it a lot before I bought my current GTS. It sat for a LONG time; at least six months. Beautiful condition, low miles, turbo, PDCC, etc. and the color wasn't THAT bad but it just wasn't right for me (and I think a lot of other potential buyers). JMO-
