FC Paint Job

I am thinking about getting this FC. The only problem, is I'm unsure about the paint job. I'm sorta 50/50 about it. I've asked my friends what they thought, some thought it was nice, others thought differently. So, I'm coming here for advice. I think I may get it anyway and then paint it in the RX-8 Velocity Red paint. What should I do?

Here are the pics he sent me...

And just for kicks, an interior shot...

so buy it and repaint it a paintjob is pretty cheap and can turn even that thing around, take off the seat covers and steering wheel covers, and you have only spent a few hundred and now you have a nice car, if you do buy it, you'll never regret it

While it's not that bad, if I got it, it would be back to white pretty quick.

edit: S5 GXL?

kinda colorful, but it actually doesnt look too bad. I'd still have it stripped and repainted though.

BUY IT! If anything you are doing a good deed by un-uglifing an otherwise magnificent car

How long do you think it would it take to do the prep work? How much money would it save me?

you didn't have an option for "interesting but wouldn't ever want to pay for it"
