06 sport questions

[lbrunner]

Looking at purchasing a 06 sport v6. It is shadow mica/fb13. It looks almost black but slightly grey. How does this color hold up to scratches? Is the upkeep like black that you have to be very careful washing it and it scratches if you look at it wrong? Does it chip easy(front)? I swore I would never buy a black vehicle again but this is the only one I could find in good condition, low miles and I think asking a fair price(I hope).The interior fabric looks different than my 05. Interior the same lint gathering type?

Any other advise/things to look at before I purchase? Not familiar with the V6. BTW Its got 27k on it, clean car fax and sold/maintained(records) at this stealership also.
Any advise would be appreciated!
Thanks

That's a pretty color IMO. I bought an 07 Sport v8 w/12k miles on it for 27k in January. I consider that a pretty decent price based on the shopping I did.

Thats a good price for an 07. I'm looking at an 06 V6 sport with 27K for 24. Makes the 06 seem like not such a good deal. I do like the shadow mica, just do not like the constant up keep. With the silver you can drive in the rain and it doesn't look totally trashed the next day like black. Thanks for the input!

I have Shadow Mica. The color code is actually 1F4. In regards to your question about upkeep (my 2nd and 4th post down on the thread):
