I didn't like the blue until now. It usually looks more turquoise, but your pictures make it seem much more of a true vibrant blue (almost electric). Nice car, congrats on the purchase!

Thanks !
It may have come out a little darker/more saturated in the photos.
I keep staring at them, but I'm not sure.
Lighting changes it quite a bit; it looks best in the evening or overcast days.

The blue was my second choice. It was really hard to choose between that and my Liquid Silver. Regardless, the Aquatic Blue is an excellent color. Your pictures are great too.

It was actually my 2nd choice too. I owned a black one for a day, but due to some problems got it exchanged for the blue one.
For some reason I wasn't too crazy about the blue one at first, but I'm not sure why.
Now that I own it I think it looks pretty good. I must've brain-washed myself.

What kind of problems caused you to return the car?

What kind of problems caused you to return the car?

Sort of a long story.
Nothing too serious.......I bought the car near closing time & I insisted on a black one which they didn't have. So the salesman drove to another dealership to get me one. The paperwork was all filled out before the car arrived to save time & we were all in hurry & when the salesman got back I asked how many miles were on the car & he said 225, and that didn't sit well with me. But I thought I was being silly & signed everything & sealed the deal.

Then it kept bugging me the next day, so I called the dealer where the car came from; they said it was their demo car which really didn't sit well with me either. Then I noticed my contract said "Used" car real small at the very top which really got the wheels in my head turning. I called the dealer again & they said it had so many miles because it was a dealer trade & had to be driven 150 miles or so to get to them. Then I found the window sticker which stated that was not the case as it was shipped directly to the dealer. So by now I'm getting a little paranoid & decided I didn't want it.

So I drove to my dealer where I bought it that night & told them I didn't want it. I was under the impression I was buying a brand new car, and they sold me a "legally" used car. They called the other dealer & again got 3 different stories with the 3rd one being that somebody actually owned the car & it was the wrong color or a mis-delivery or something like that. Anyway I no longer wanted it, so the dealer let me do an even exchange for the blue one on their lot which had 35 miles.

I was maybe being a little paranoid, but what really bothered me was that I paid "new price" for a legally "used car". If I'd known that before buying it there's no way I would've bought without getting an additional discount. So anyway it all worked out. It didn't cost a penny to exchange it & I'm happy with the color now after brainwashing myself into liking it.

I actually wanted black, blue, or green originally so at least it was one of those three choices.
I'm the only person I know who accidentally bought a used car when trying to buy a new car.
