Looks like MING BLUE to me ..... and if my eyes are right a second time it looks like dark gray leather or something like that. Windows are way too dark and the pic is glared ... so perhaps its all up to the eyes of the beholder.

The first front 3/4 shot is deceiving because of the reflection of the sky on the hood and front quarter over the wheel. Also, the bigger pictures show it more than the little thumbnails. You can see brown around areas where sun reflections are.



Check out the brown on this.


Most definitely brown here, but very subtle.

I haven't made the 2hr trek down to look at it. I was emailing back and forth, but they weren't very up front with information on it. All I was able to learn was that it is not optioned very well and the previous owner had the motor replaced (not at the dealership).

um, yeah, espresso brown interior. Somehow mis-speaking about that makes me wonder just how jicky/smarmy he must be.

To be "not well optioned", what would you assume that to be? I'd say the only important ones are 1. heated seats 2. parking sensors 3. power sunshade and lesser options 1. navigation 2. onstar 3. solar roof 4. ski boot. What option am I missing?

I found it odd that they would bother reselling a non CPO D2 S8 with 80k on it. While there, I did see an S8 in service, black on gray alcantara - looked like an 02 with the "S" shifter.

Probably a trade in that they couldn't find a wholesaler to take, and it wouldn't qualify for CPO with the different engine I'm sure.
