Is it ridiculous to purchase a car only to want and paint it?

I really like the interior color, the lower mileage, and location of this car.

However, I don't like the color and would love to have it painted a seal gray color...
What do you guys think? Advice? What do you think about the price?

Thanks!

Paint it whatever color makes you happy! It's a car. Seems like a nice car, in an unusual color. Buy it and do with it what you please.

 

Mexicoblue,
What do you think about the price?

What do you guys think a GOOD paint job runs?

 

In all honesty, this is not the economical way to go about things. You are much better off finding a car the color you like. Although I consider nothing sacred on a car, and think you should modify to your taste, you will both end up with more in your car this way, AND have killed its resale value. A bad double whammy.

I had seen some numbers recently on here for a good paint job. Seems like they were in the 10k range. If you are just wanting to go to a fairly common factory color anyway, like seal gray, just keep looking for the car you want.

 

^what he said^

 

Thanks guy, I just want to find the right one but I have to deploy now anyways and have some time to look.

I really want grey.

Thanks,
