Purple T/A rare??????

Hello all, I just sold my 96 Impala SS and am in the market for a m6 camaro or T/A. The only local car is this purple T/A

I have driven the car and am going to decide on purchasing it today. I am not real wild about the color, but I guess I will get used to it. I was told that this was a very rare color. What do you all think?

I would get it, I like the color and it is pretty rare, since I found that color out I have yet to see a purple T/A.

But don't buy it just based on the color cause it might be ragged to hell

That's one of my favorite TA colors. It's kinda rare but rare might not be the right word. I'd say go for it if you're looking for a high mileage, cheaper TA. It looks clean but that's realy impossible to tell from pictures. Everything looks good in pictures.

Congrats and welcome to the F-body side

good choice

That's the color of my formula. I love the color. I was the same way when I first saw the car, but my dad loved it. I was more for a white z than a purple car. A good wax job goes a long ways for that color though.
