Default Black and blue, whats worse? [Edit, new truck pics inside]

I found a local dealer that has 2006 megacab, 4x4 that is patriot blue. I wouldnt even think of it but they are asking $32,450 and its only got 18k miles on it. My wife is yelling at me saying that the dark blue will be just as bad as the black with all the scratches and swirls from washing. Anyone havea blue truck or had experience with this color? I really dont think the dealer has a clue what they have and whats it really worth.

My last truck, king ranch F250 was the dark blue and I didnt have any problems with it. If I could have found a mega in that color I would have bought it. That is the best color in my opinion.

32.5k for a used truck? Sounds spendy even with low miles. Patriot blue is a sweet lookin color, but its your call.

32.5 is high for an 06 mega cab with only 18k miles?? I just found out why its so cheap by pulling the carfax report on it. It said it was in a minor front end collision, minor supposedly means that they drove the truck away but I dontwant something that has been in any kind of wreck.

I don't know what color that is, but if it's that "sky blue" I absolutely love that color.

Check out nada.com for suggested trade-in and retail prices onvehicles, they seem to cover more model years then kbb does.
