The pearl white paint is growing on me. I didn't realize that color is actually a $295 option...

Oh, I wouldn't be quick to take that approach just yet. I would suggest that it's not unusual for an owner to get a new set of rims and tires that they like better than the factory set. It's not unheard of, right Top_Fuel??

Seems it's an ongoing curiosity for you:
What's the difference between cloud white and pearl white?
Maybe the 2121s will be offered in Pearl!

If they were aftermarket aluminum wheels, I would agree and I would applaud the prior owner for being so wise. But these are hubcaps on 14" factory steel wheels...so it still makes me wonder a bit.
One thing I forgot... Carvana is like CarMax when it comes to tires. If the tires aren't above a certain tread depth (5/32" for Carvana), then they replace them before the car is sold. So it's possible Carvana actually put these tires on if the original tires were below 5/32".
I remember that thread! Seems like yesterday. I actually had picked out a pearl white 2015...then at the last minute I changed and bought a silver one instead. I'm pretty sure my next one (if there is one) will be white!What's the difference between cloud white and pearl white?

You know something, you're right! I just checked their "150 point inspection" list for this specific car(they link to it on the listing) and it did indeed show that it failed the "5/32" test. Guess that clears that up Still seems a bit soon due to the low millage, gonna do the alignment check just to be sure, can't hurt.

Got the car in today! It's everything Carvana stated and more! As I had to pick it up from New Jersey (they sent me an Uber to get out there, it was supposed to come to me) I had a good chance to put a few miles on it. It has plenty of pep in it's step and I like the ride so much more than the last one I drove. The new tires I'm not liking too much, rough feeling over the road and pretty noisy to boot. But they look new so I guess I'm gonna deal with them for awhile at least. Everything else, no issues that I could see feel or hear. It will be checked out by the best suspension place in the Bronx tomorrow to check for any alignment issues and then over to my local Mitsu dealer for a check up (recalls, etc.).
I'm so glad I switched to this one, it's a really pretty car with almost zero issues, couldn't ask for more
