Why don't you have the courage to get a non black/white/gray car?

>>28839519
Mine's blue, "Extreme Blue" to be precise.

Hmmm, I wonder.

Technically mine is "dune metallic"

i think a lot of people don't want to pay extra for a different paint job on their depreciating asset that the capitalist overclass has designed infrastructure to force them to acquire with debt
>>
>>28839519
stupid post. most enthusiasts do.
>>
>>28839519
as a cuck who only buys used cars I'm stuck with whatever color the first owner chose, or dumping a ton of money into repainting my shitbox
>>
>>28839519
I intentionally want a black car next even though I've always avoided them.

Because they are the easiest to paint match in a repair, individual panels can be sprayed off the car and still match. Someone hit my brand new sportscar 1 month in and now my fender doesn't match because I didn't wanna respray the whole side and have minimum-wage bodyshop drug addicts fuck up all the trim and fitment tearing the car apart

You can order prepainted panels these days, cheaper and faster to just swap instead of a shitty repair done by your local illegals. And as far as body shops go, NONE of them do their job properly

Because it's more expensive. And no, I don't mean Muh Insurance Premiums like some faggots think, I mean they're more expensive to buy.

I dunno what you think the prices of your cars are where you live, but over here in my neck of the woods the only time there's price parity between colors is when you buy new. Anytime you see a used red car is about 1-2K more than a white or grey one. and that includes the Book of Faces.

I have a yellow car and a green car.
>>
>>28839564
Rly? Shiett I been dun missin out tryna min-max resale prices and shit like a turboJew. Only buying silver, white, to be safe and most non-offensive and neutral.

Going red or yellow next I guess

My first car was blue, but my current one is silver and I actually quite like the paint catches the light.

Friend who is a car dealer loves the special colours. They take longer to sell, but buyer will pay a premium for it.
>>
>>28839586
>They take longer to sell, but buyer will pay a premium for it.
Used to sell cars and we'd sell out of nongreyscale models first, despite buying them nearly at a 2:3 color:grey rate. People who wanted a color wanted THAT color
>>
>>28839519
Both times I bought new they fucked me on color. I ordered orange, they had already turned it off for the year and I had to settle for blue. Second time, I wanted to order pretty much any shade of green but that's straight up wasn't available. So I got a bluish gray.

So even when you order the car instead of buying off the lot, everybody except Dodge and sometimes even Dodge doesn't like to do color.

I like the black paint too, it has metal flakes. The white was just convenient.
>>
>>28839519
Because there are advantages to a car that looks exactly the same as 1,000 other cars just in your city.

I plan to run from the police

I've owned three red cars, a primer gray car, a green car, and a yellow car.

I have a red one .
>>
>>28839578
Is it a Lotus in racing colours anon?
>>
Mine's a custom crimson from the prev owner.
That said, I'm very picky and if a car comes up in the spec I like, color is the last concern.
>>
>>28839519
I'm currently driving a brown car.
I will happily purchase ANY color car, if it's the cheapest of all the identical version. I DO NOT give a shit if "other people" judge my car's appearance.

(Orange is my favorite color, though)
>>
>>28840437
brown is just dark orange anyway

Rarity and condition. Yellow and red cars are always faded to hell, blue is a crapshoot on fade and green seems to be really rare to find overall.

Was going to get green or yellow but the Jews discontinued the color when I was ordering
>>
>>28841688
Yellow. Piss yellow. *sips martini*
>>
>>28843025
Red is never a bad choice but if you were ordering it, why not go with a more exotic PTS color? And yeah they occasionally get oddly limited in their standard palette which is really a shame because they have a vast historical color selection availabile
>>
>>28843037
Because PTS orders are limited. You need a PTS allocation. If you have a regular application, you just choose one of the regular colors.
I was going to get python green, racing yellow, or shark blue but they got rid of those because the 2025s were coming out. Which is stupid because the 718s are made on the same line and still had blue and yellow at the time.

>>28843056
>We'll paint to sample any color you want

Porsche are faggots and so are dealers renting the same 3-4 "heritage" colors as PTS ruining the entire point of the option.
>>
>>28843068
You're not wrong.
>>28843056
Damn, sorry to hear that. I would've thought something like a C2s would have enough ongoing volume they would have plenty of PTS slots available. I guess one could decide to wait but I absolutely despise allocation games like that and it would seriously piss me off after spec'ing a new build to order.

I just want a nice dark purple car.
>>
>>28839564
not in my experience. I got a higher trim in red for the same price and lower miles than lower trims in "bland" colors.

Color is the last thing on my list, but now I've got a red truck just like my dear ol granddad.

Pretty lucky and took some looking but still. felt like he was looking out for me

I'm not gonna spend extra for a color unless I become insanely rich

I had a 1990 NA Miata in silver funny how at the time it was a rare color. Me and a buddy flipped them in the mid 2000s and they were all red.

mines blue but i wish i got it in black

All my options were white, gray, black, back with a red sheen or black with a blue sheen
So I went white
