Purple C7

I think it looks sharp in a wild and classy kind of way.

That’s definitely an attention getter! If I was in my twenties, I would drive that for sure. However, I do love my 2019, murdered out grand sport.

Is that a wrap or paint? I couldn't find anything about it. Colors are personal. To the right person this color would be ideal. Not for me.

Wow, that's cool. It would look better with silver wheels.

I am surprised it does not have chrome wheels, especially with the lettered tires.

I also expected interior mods.

I hope it finds a good home.

It’s a wrap and not a particularly thorough one. Do yourself a favor. Start with a black car if you’re even thinking about it. Purple looks great on wide body.

While the purple isn't so bad, it looks horrible against the blue as does the BOLD white tire lettering.
Dealer would probably have more success selling it if they remove the purple wrap.
Just my opinion.

I guess Laguna Blue is it's original color, noticed the doors as others did and behind the roof under the rear hatch. Not as professional as it would appear to be.

I saw this a week or two ago and fell in love until I saw the blue in the door jams.

If that's paint it's a problem. Probably was nice in blue.

Why is there a need for an air freshener hanging from the steering column on an almost new car? Just wondering.

That's a good question, half-*** wrap (jams and other areas not wrapped), air freshener, hum could be red flags as to something's up here. Previous water damage?

I think it looks pretty good! Definitely would never paint my car that color but I think that color wrapped would be fun for a year or 2.
