Well I have to say, if you want comments to fly on your blog, post something about cars. lolz
The car color is called "Grape Ice".
It's sort of lavender...ish.
But I will call it purple.
No automaker is doing a true purple car right now other than this one.
As far as used cars, the Chevy SSR came in true purple in 2004......
It's sort of like an El Camino but with rounder lines. I call El Caminos the Mullets of the auto world.....car in front, truck in back. lolz
The PT Cruise was made in purple up to 2005 and the closest one to here for sale now is in Michigan.....
It's a 2002 and manual tranny with 60K miles on it and they are asking $6K.
I'd much rather have this one.....
It's a 2005, manual tranny with 53K miles on it for $9K and it's in California.
And it's a convertible!
Honda made the Fit in 2009/2010 in Blackberry Pear......
Sweet color but can't find one for sale in that color.
GMC also made the Sierra 150 SLT Truck in Purple, it was a custom color.....
Of course, if I could find this car and it wasn't a bazillion dollars I'd want it too.....
A 1970 Dodge Challenger muscle car.
Bad on gas mileage but if you were driving this bad boy, who cares!?!
I have located a Grape Ice 2014 Spark for $14K an hour's drive from my house.
Of course, if I could live with a lime green one(which I could)and didn't mind having a manual tranny(not when you live on a mountain! lol), I could get that one for just under $12K.
You would think that because I have the cash to just write a check and drive it home, I'd in a position power with negotiating for this one.
Unfortunately, the dealers WANT YOU to finance.
In truth, that is where they make their money on a new car......the nickels and dimes they get off of you in the in-house financing.
They make very little on folks who buy outright with cash.
So paying cash(and paying less)don't really go together in this situation.
I really detest this whole dickering process with car buying.
A car should have a price and that's what you pay.
No bargaining crap.
Bring back Saturn dealerships! lolz
This is one of the good things about buying used cars from used car lots.
Besides being less expensive than a new car, the price they ask is what you pay.
Sure we've bargained down a couple times on used cars if we turned up something mechanical but they don't give you the smarmy lines and lie to you like the new car dealerships do.
Bunch of jack wagons......
