Ha, I bought mine used also with 10k miles on the clock. It had been driven in snow and salt during it's trip to NH from MI. It took me 4 washes, 6 wheel details, one clay bar attack, and 4 wax/polishes to get it up to my standard. Oh, I also had a tiny ding removed by DentWizard. All that's left is the windscreen (toothpaste issue we've been discussing), and the headlights (pits). The interior was surprisingly clean and without any major blemishes except for a long scratch under the glove box and a blackening (happens a lot on our cars) on the passenger side of the console (knee area). I traded a perfect, 13k mile 05 G35 Coupe for it, so I worked until it was in nearly identical condition.

Back to the color thing. NeverEnough: Funny, yet accurate description of the colors; however, I must defend SSB. Yes, you are right, it does remind me of the old blue color that GM and others used at the time, but this is a retro-inspired car that uses a lot of art-deco details of the 20s and 30s. Also, it makes the car look that much more upscale. It only looks blue in dim light as you can see in my pics above. As for Aero, typically I don't like blue (darker shades) on luxury or sports cars because they usually look down-classed; however, Aero blue looks classy. It's one of the best blues I've seen. I saw one in person after I bought mine. It really does look good. I'm glad I got SSB because it hides imperfections well, looks classy, and changes from silver to blue (so I don't get bored) with light.

Ok, I'm done typing now!
