What would you guys do if you were me?
I am currently contemplating on getting a formula or T/A again. But the only color I would want is SOM. I know they are pretty rare (at least in the formula's case). Now would you guys just keep on looking in hopes to eventually find one or just pick up a formula and paint it?
I know it's kind of a weird question but I have ALWAYS wanted a SOM T/A.

I would wait until you find the color you want. Getting a good quality color change paint job would run you anywhere between $4-6k if it's not from someone you know. I think SOM cars are pretty rare, but I think it'd be worth the wait.

You will find one if you are willing to travel. Between ebay, autotrader, cars.com, etc... you will find one within weeks if not right now. Don't be afraid to travel especially if you are that set on SOM. Travelling anyplace in the country would be cheaper than painting one.

My wife is totally in love with SOM. Always has been. We bought her a Red '00 WS6 and she wants to paint it. I think that would ruin a great looking car. I told her, "You want a SOM car, then buy one". Unless you have a mystic teal car I say don't change colors! lol

I agree with the majority here, just be patient and wait till you find the car you want and don't settle for a second best option. You will regret not waiting for the right one to come along otherwise.
Good luck

there is nothing like owning one that has the original paint on it, i would stick it out, be patient, be willing to travel, and wait for a good deal. It took me about 2 months to find my car, but i go exactly what i wanted and got an awsome deal on it too.
