I'd recommend not buying it if it's not the color you are wanting ... there are plenty of them available, so one in the color you want would probably pop up right after you sign the contract.

Also, someone on the forum would likely go look at it for you if you post the location. I'd hope there was some kind of warranty though, at least a 30 day bumper-to-bumper warranty for a 2006 if bought sight unseen. You could ask the dealer for that as a condition of purchase ... I'd still hold out for the ideal color though.
