Default Anyone buy a color they later regretted buying!

There's a Gecko at the dealer right now. It is technically used even though it only has 16 miles on it. It was bought and titled. They lifted it and put the same wheels I've decided to buy once I get the jeep. They are the 961,s wrapped with 35x12.5 I'm in love with this jeep, and I really do like the color. I'm just afraid I will grow tired of the flashy bright green after a year..... Your thoughts?!

Im not sure what the model has to do with color selection, but anyway, It's a 2013 sport. I'm not sure what brand lift is on it. I'm pretty sure this dealer would have no idea either. The wheels are 20" rolling on Federal 35x12.5 They are asking $34,900 for it, and that's another reason I'm doubting it. However after buying the sport with taxes, you're around 29k wheels and tires another $3200. Not sure what the lift is, so I can't value it. Either way I guess the price isn't too bad considering. Plus it allows me to finance the wheels/tires and lift

I bought black, now I kinda wish I went with the light "sky blue" colour. Don't get me wrong, the black looks awesome, but it's kinda boring. Both my CJ5s were a similar blue to the sky blue jks. I thought the second one was white when I bought it, but I was a detailer at the time and gave it a real good polish and wax, and it turned out to be blue, just was real, real, real faded. Real faded. There are a couple of the blue ones on here I think, and they look awesome.

I thought you were going to tell us that the original owner drove it for 16 miles and grew tired of the Gecko color.

Im regretting the Black. Only because where I live in california it is very dusty and I kid-you not 20 min after washing it there is a nice layer of visible dust.. Not to mention the water spots it has aquired in the 3 years Ive owned it... I think My next jeep will be white.
