Background:
Live in Canada.
Went for a few hour drive yesterday to look at Viper at a dealership (arranged meeting with Salesman in advance of X hour drive so they knew I was coming in and a serious buyer).
The Dodge dealership appeared to focused upon truck sales more than anything.
As the drive progressed the temps dropped and rain then snow started to develop.

Rolled into the dealership and they had maybe 1/2 the lot paved and the other half was gravel. I was thinking WTF, but it is a smaller city and appeared to be growing dealership as opposed to an established one.

Went inside and they had 1-2 trucks and a minivan or 2 indoors but didn't see the new Viper. Met the salesperson and he took me outside to view the car. The Viper was sitting on the gravel portion of the lot and had been sitting there for a few weeks (as the dealer advised me). It was covered in dust (from the gravel lot) and snow and freezing rain etc. The fitament of the body panels was very good but I obviously I couldn't see what the paint was like. Oddly the gunmetal color looked essentially black in the cloud cover.

My friend that was with me was appalled that the car was not indoors not roped off. In addition, it bothered him that they left the car open and some dad (smoking a pipe) and his kid were bumming around the lot and getting in and out of the Viper as well after we walked away. It never bothered me as much as it did my friend however, I advised the dealer that the car I was trading in NEVER sat in the snow and was garaged 100% of the time I was not driving it. The Salesman didn't seem overly concerned that the car was outside and he advised me that they never brought it indoors because the lighting inside is not very good to showcase the car, I didn't buy that explanation but it was sunny and nice the previous day.

Two Questions:
1. Should I be concerned about the dealerships apparent lack of care in how the car is stored / handled / protected?
2. How does the Gunmetal pearl look in the sun? Is it a metallic grey color? Or black?

Your thoughts please?
