Welcome to AGT

If black is what you like, then hold out for one - otherwise you might regret it later on!

that's my main concern in buying a black one..
it's hard enough to find one that's in half decent condition..
oh, also.. what is the difference between a regular astina and an astina shades?

ok so I have found a gold one that I really like.. 02' model with 137,000km's.
only thing is it has a "small cosmetic dint on the right guard" but I can't really find one without dints and flaking clear coat or other defects..
Do you guys think if it's only a small bump to just buy it and get it repaired down the track or keep looking?

if it's just a dent with no gouge/scratch/paint missing, then you can easily have it PDRed (painless dent removal)
