Colour of Car at Resale - Best Option?

[boostimports]

hey, i recently sold my r33 - it was wine red, and i found it pretty tricky to sell. I had quite a few people going, damn i wish it was black or white.

personally i rekent black and white are the best colours and they seem to sell much easier then wine red or like grey.

wat do u guys personally prefer? not just for skylines, like any imports like 180sx, r32, 300zx. WAT COLOUR DO U PREFER?

[xRHETTx]

White

Silver

Any aftermarket colour

Dont really like wine red,

Definately not black or gun metal grey

Not a fan of gunmetal - in fact i think i wouldn't buy a car specifically due to it being grey.

While white and black is desireable its maybe the most common so I don't know.

i want black in my next car if i can

GTR purple is a nice colour...

[Warpspeed]

White is best. Cooler in summer, more visible at night, looks like a million other cars going down the road so the cops don't pick you out. Also if someone keys it, or you get a scrape, the paint is easy to match.

You want trouble with the cops, get a bright red sports car.

i like silver!!

[croat]

Black, GTR blue and GTR purple are my fav colours for the skylines. Silver is very nice especially with a nice set of rims but it is way too common. I dont find anything wrong with wine red, the 1st line that i nearly bought was wine red and loved it!!

My favorite color is, generally speaking, Silver cause it's easy to keep clean.

but, for Skylines:

R32: white or silver

R33: Silver, then white then red!

R34: What else?! Bayside Blue !

[Parag0n]

I was about to say Bayside Blue looks awesome on 34's

[Chef_32]

I'd say white aswell, blue's nice too (R34 blue that is)

[druzilla32]

Mine is wine... I wish she was white tho

[Shell]

for resale value, i don't think matters all that much, cos everyone has a fave colour and you can't please everyone. OK, there were ppl who didn't want the wine red, but then there were prolly other ppl who particularly wanted the wine red, and wouldn't even consider white/black/gunmetal...

just gotta wait for the right buyer I guess

midnight purple, or yellow rocks

don't really like the gunmetal or the 2-tone..

[Duncan]

r33 series 2 blue is the nicest

[xRHETTx]

Id think that when buying a skyline the colour wouldnt matter much to people, as long as it wasnt a colour they hated, ie gun metal grey.

There are not enough good Skylines around, especially R32s, to be picky about colour when you finally find a good, clean car.

That is usually just a line fed to the seller to try getting the price down. Even if you like the colour, umm'ing and ah'ing over stupid shit like the colour is a good haggling lever. Imagine if you turn up and go "Oh man, red! I've been looking for this colour for ages! I love it!" the seller probably isn't going to drop his price at all

If you think about it this way, they wouldn't have even rung up in the first place if they hated the colour so much that it would stop their purchase of it. So anyone that you speak to on the phone or comes around to look at it (assuming the colour was listed in the ad) really is just feeding you bullshit if they say they're not going to buy it coz it's the wrong colour.

I agree though that some colours will get more inquiries due to more people liking them, but whatever colour it is, at least some people will like it or totally not care so it will eventually sell no matter what you have.

Although I have to admit I can't figure out what kind of person that likes that metallic puke green that Holden and Ford have out at the moment

i had a wine red supra and i dind't like the colour

my r32 is dark blue and i was wrapped to find the car in this colour. otherwise black or white is the go...

gunmetal grey = shit

silver = very common

white = good

bleek = good

dark blue = great
