I bought it used in 2007 in Port Richey so I must say, I don't know if it was painted or not but there are always little ways to know and I've never ever seen any signs that this car was ever painted. So what's the deal with yellow - I know they are hard to come by. But even Edmunds or Kelly don't seem to plus-up the value based on the yellow color. And $16,500 is blue-book. What gives?
