Title: new daily driver, it's PINK
Post by: mywifeskitty on February 21, 2009, 11:57:30 AM
soooooo....  i really needed to find another car (you can only do so much with a family of 5 and 2 cougars), so i went out to the wholesale lot at work and found this...........

it's a 1996 Cadillac DeVille, and it's PINK!!!  it's a mary kay car and only has 61,900 miles on it..... it looks like it was garage kept and the interior looks new.....  i don't think she ever used the trunk because the spare cover still smells new :) 

now i know it's pink, but the wife LOVES it, and i only paid $2,100 for it..... the only issues i could find with it was the torque struts were worn ($35) and the passenger front speaker is blown..... otherwise it looks and drives brand new :)

i guess i can deal with it being pink for a deal like this

As long as the wife loves it, that is all that matters.

That is actually something I would never have thought of! Definitely though. Hell a lot of people will probably see that and think he painted it for that!

There's one up here I see now and then on the road.  Caddies are accepted as pink cars.  Enjoy the new ride, I know I would.  (and $2100, that's a deal)

the tags on the cougar are due in april.... i figured i'd swap them with the caddy's and get the florida breast cancer plate (tina's mom died of melanoma 23 years ago)... i think it would look cool :)

Nice Deville, it's probably rare too, I'd say they didn't make many Mary Kay cars.

Nice ride. Just don't get involved in any road rage incidents now. It's really hard to look like a bad a$$ when you're jumping out of a pink car.

That car must have slipped through the cracks. The pink Caddy is exclusive to Mary Kay and no one else can buy one. The dealer is suppose to repaint them before they are resold.

according to the carfax, they owned it for the first 2 years and sent it to an auction with 28,000 miles on it....  it supposedly was purchased back by the mary kay rep who first owned it which would make it a one owner car (she said she was the only owner when she traded it in)...... 

anyway, i was concerned about it too (whether it had just been painted pink), but the paint code on the trunk label confirms that is in fact wa9601, which dupont lists as the factory code for mary kay pink

if they do force a repaint and this one got "hidden" it makes me like it even more :)

Makes me sad I bought my Caddy for $5000 its  compared to that one. Good find! Might be a bit rare.
