I detailed my car today and I was thinking about this thread. The full monty down to opening all doors and waxing the door jambs inside and out. And the the paint inside the hood and trunk too. I just can't imagine having this done to a basically new car.

Wise decision grasshopper!

You know what? At least you have a unique color car! My SGM seems to be the color of choice with this car. Just like the oyster pearl white ES300 I had before.

Funny thing is, I have seen very few white 350's. Wonder why, because they are stunning IMO.

It was then I notice the purple to pink transition. After the test ride, I sat there looking at it for about...500 heart beats before deciding to move my deposit to another car. A smokey granite beauty that arrived two weeks later. Turned out for the better because I sold my 300 during that time.

Exactly how GOOD is this deal?
Nearly identical story with me. Put deposit on MSM because it looked cool in dealership garage under fluorescent lights. Came to the forum that night to ask other people opinion; called dealership the next morning and changed it to silver! I actually told my sales guy that I my b**** will shrink if drive this pink lady mobile LOL!!!

Better ask Kaius for his MSM story

I get about 4 people a month that see Moonshell Mica in the brochure and fall in love with it, and I have to explain how the color is actually hideous and we never get any new ones in because they never sell.

If I am lucky, pre-owned has one I can show them, and they almost always look at it and say "Hmm. Not what I was expecting...so you said you can get X-color?"
