I think the color you are referring to was called parchment crystal in 02. In 04-06, there was moonlight pearl that, I believe, was a bit different.

Well, then you should know what I'm talking about..... unless they have not been Toyota or Honda products (which have butter soft paint).

its probably bc of the horrable driving conditions during the winter that you guys have up north.

there is slight curb rash on one of em on the very edge and they had Michelin tires with about 80% thread left

wheels/tires might be up for sale soon

I know why it took you so long to find a car. The cars I've seen are either overpriced, or terrible colors. It's also essential to find something that has service records or I won't even look at it.

You are in FL, you know exactly why. lol. if a car is clean under 100k it will be so overpriced you might as well go get a new LS460. and every car that was reasonably priced in fair condition was some off the wall color mix, that made me say... wtf mate?!

What's up with all those wierd colors? There are just about 3 popular colors, Black, White, and Silver. Some of the rest can be really bizarre! In addition there are loads of base cars with standard 16" rims on the early 430s, which becomes expensive when you want to update the wheels and tires.
