Graphite shadow or Blue Slate, although Blue slate should never appear black.
Just to be sure, open your drivers' side door and look at the bottom of the door pillar, you'll see a sticker w/ your VIN and your paint code.
Congrats on your new ride, what mods (if any) are you planning?

Blue Slate or Graphite Shadow. Although GS doesn't really look blue in any light.

Color code on the sticker in the door jamb says K57. I looked it up and it is Blue Slate. It is a very nice color in my opinion.

The dealer told me it was Onyx Charcoal. He was wrong obviously. He also told me it was the Anniversary Edition. Wrong again since they have red leather seats....I looked that up too.

He said my car has the "Premium Pkg". I don't know what trim it is actually. Door jamb sticker says Trim is "G"

I do know it is a 2010 G37x haha.

It is 7sp auto with Bluetooth...Moonroof...Bose...Back Up Camera...a lot of other goodies. No Navigation though.

It didn't come with the original window sticker so i don't know what the MSRP was on the car. I paid $26,500. It has 13,000 miles and is 100% flawless inside and out. Only blemish was the silver trim piece on the very top of the shifter was all scratched up. My guess is that a woman owned it and wore a lot of rings on her right hand? Also...one fog light was burned out. Other than that the car is super mint.

Congrats on the purchase, I think you went with the right decision. Lower mileage is almost always better, EXCEPT when there's a longer warranty on the table. Always go for it, cuz parts and labor can get expensive fast. NOW POST SOME PICS!

Congrats on the purchase!! I agree and think lower mileage is definitely the way to go.. U can potentially assume that less harm was done to the car by the previous owner...

BTW, what made you decide to sell the GTI, and move into a G37?? I was debating between a GTI and G37 before I got my G37, so I'd be interested to know what made you decide the way you did...

Glad you found the true color, our 07 G was a Blue Slate and it's a nice looking color IMO.
Be sure to see if your Gs VIN qualifies for the latest transmission TSB, everyone that's had it done raves about how much better the transmission is behaving. Congrats and enjoy your Blue Slate G

Bose is a giveaway that you have the Premium package.

If the 2009 had the 2010 navigation update this would be a much easier decision for me cuz I deff like the 2009 front bumper alot better than the 2010.. I heard the 2009 navi looks like ColecoVision.
