I was lucky enough to get one of the last new Proton's available. I actually went to look at a '99 Ironman, but mentioned to the salesman that I REALLY wanted a Proton. They had one sitting on the showroom floor, and the first time I saw it I knew it had to be mine...regardless of price.

If you want a Proton...get a Proton. A repaint and color change usually decreases the resale value of a vehicle. The small price difference you pay now will recoup itself in the near future. Besides, you would be depriving a future Ebony owner.
