I will always buy white painted practical cars. You can retouch white paint with a $1 can of anything close enough and it wont stand out. Quickly dealing with rust is the best way to keep a car alive. If you worry about the off color paint you cant find anywhere the rust will not care. No matter how much I may ever have, Ill never blow it on a car. I have a 2006 Scion Xa that runs fine but I still want to convert it to electric someday.
