    shouldnt turn a car down for the colour, unless its hideous..

    look at other things like what condition its in who it is that owned it before you and if they've flogged it.. what condition the interiors in.. tyre tread (especially check rear wheels) what im trying to say is

    buy the right car, not the right colour.

    you might spend 5 grand over the course of months/years replacing engines, diffs, trannys or whatever it may be, because you went with a not so great car with an oh so great colour... but if you went with a good car everything nice and well treated... spend the 5 grand on a respray if it bothers you that much...

    but in my experience.. you buy a car it grows on you regardless of colour...

    Seriously mate it's up to you who gives a **** what others think, make up your own decisions.
    What color are you looking for if you're not set on buying it cause you don't like it would you change your decision just cause 1000 people say buy it.
    Seriously stupid question all I can say to help you is to listen to the post above.

    Does it really matter what we think? It's your car.

    It's a good colour. However, the condition of the car is by far the most important issue. Colour is only an issue if it is an unpopular one which will make the car very hard to on sell at market value for the model.

    White is always a safe buy.

    If it's a very sound car in the body and on the mechanical side , and the price you can negotiate is not over market value, then buy it.

    I have a white vyss and I love it. Tint the windows dark, armor all all the black plastic bits on the body and tyre shine the tyres. This will create a nice contrast against the white paint. The only bad thing about white is that it doesn't have a clear coat which means it won't be as reflective. But as said above, it stays cleaner looking than any other colour and dints are harder to notice.

    i agree with KBone, i love the look of white vy's especially if you change the front headlights to ss ones (which are darker)

    agreed with above statements, all my life ihave owned black cars and my 03 vy ss is my first white car, its got dark tint,black 20inch rims wich gives it a nice contrast to the car and when i give it its weekly polish it looks better than any of the previouse black cars i ever had, best colour i ever chose...

    White is an awesome colour! I was looking around for a white berlina wagon for a while, and it wasnt as easy as you think believe it or not. Most Berlinas seemed to be most of the other colours but white.. But as someone else mentioned, armourall everything, put some nice rims on and tints and they look great.

    I even think the C63 AMG Mercedes looks best in white.
