Only you can determine if a color is nice looking to you.

I think it's a terrible color. Looks brown in person.

Not a fan of that color. That's a color for corrollas and camrys IMO. Black, white, or a flashy color is best

im not a big fan of the color either. It's just the car has escort 9500ci radar detector and laser jammer installed, as well as lo jack and 10 year/100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty. Has 25,000 miles. He's letting it go for $36,500. I can always wrap it as well. Too good of a deal to pass up

As others have suggested it is in the eye of the beholder.
I hate blue cars in every shade but MB did a Gray Blue in the W113 Pagoda with a red leather that I thought was gorgeous so you can never tell.
What is the interior colour? If it is black it makes the car pretty plain jane. Red and black? All together different question.

Then why are you asking about the colour mate?
Seems you are about to cough up $36000 and are not sure it is what you want.
Have you seen this so called 10 yr 100000 mile warranty document? Is it in fact transferable to any buyer? My extended warranty is transferable to any resident of Canada and as long as the car is registered in Canada but I couldn't sell the car as being under warranty to an American.
Also in this country where radar detectors are outlawed a radar jammer makes the cop's job real easy. Since they point it at a specific car and they get a jamming signal from the jammer on your car they know for sure you have a radar jammer. They can and will pull you over and you will be walking. As 604 recently noted a friend of his lost his car for a week and by the time he got through he was close to 3 grand poorer.

It has been a rough day so I enjoyed the joke. You were joking right?
In case you were serious, and accepting that Wikipedia could be wrong, radar detectors in the US are illegal under US federal law and at least 10 states have banned Ladar.
Just sayin'

Belmin don't you think you should graduate from college first and instantly get that 100k salary you told me about before you think about buying an AMG ?

I have it in Sapphire Grey.

Gorgeous color in person. Can't tell you how many compliments I got just on the color. It really is different but in a good way. Mine also has the black/white interior though which helps.

It's a little more unique than the usual Silvers, Whites, Blacks.

Here's a few pics in different lighting




On a gloomy day it looks more blue.



Bright sunlight looks more gray.





Very recent pic with everything blacked out.

Just look at how brown that looks. At certain angles it looks a shade of turds.

Radar detectors are certainly not illegal under federal law. There is to my knowledge, one state (Virginia) that does regulate them.

Now if you're talking jammers, that's an altogether different animal. Radar jammers are illegal but laser jammers are not.

DC also. That's it. Radar detectors are not Federally illegal.

Laser jammers are legal in 41 states; they are illegal in CA, CO, IL, MN, SC, TN, TX, UT, VA.

Radar jammers are illegal everywhere I think. It's Federal. Something about broadcasting a signal and the FCC.

Exactly. RF is regulated by the FCC but light emissions are not.

Are you thinking of making a purchase without seeing the car in person? That's a terrible idea. More so if you have never seen the color before. The way these cars depreciate, this is not the car to buy at the risk of not liking it. Seems like you're priority is warranty and you are willing to compromise on color and other options. Guess what, if you are not happy with color or other missing options, you will sell the car in less than a year and lose your *** on $$$

A deal is only a good deal if you like everything about the car.

Are you positive this is Sapphire gray?
I could be wrong but I seem to remember looking at this car on autotrader and the color came up as Albandine or Alabandite grey on the vin decoder; and it was a green-ish gray.
