Black Cherry?
 
I just bought a black cherry 370z and now I'm having second thoughts about the color. I'm a 25 year old dude and I'm just not too sure if i like the color anymore. At first I liked that it looks black from far away, but then changes color as you get closer but now its just looking kinda purple, which is def not what i'm going for. What does everyone else think of the black cherry color? Be Honest. Heres a pic.

i like it, i mean it really doesnt matter what we like though. if you really dislike it, trade it in and eat the depreciation loss.

Just take the hit and trade it for another color.

wheee! 03-18-2011 09:16 AM

Love it... rare and classy :tup:

Gets more respect than the silver colours. People are less likely to think you are a punk kid/speed freak in a Black Cherry. My :twocents:

I also noticed it looked purple in some light.

BUT - you already own the car, so you will have to live with it.
People telling you to sell it and take a hit, don't have much financial sense
To sell it just because you don't like the color and take a several thousand dollar hit is financially absurd.

wheee! 03-18-2011 09:18 AM

embrace the colour shift....

also absurd to live with a car for the next several years you just spend 30K+ on, only to regret the color every time you look at the car

if you trade it in right away, and dont put extra miles on it, you can either..take a 2-4k hit on a model with the same miles. or take no hit and get a (more) used one....

personally a couple thousand now (on a 30k car) is worth me liking the car for the rest of my ownership.

It's a pretty cool looking color IMO. I think it could probably use a bit more red or black in the paint, but it's not a bad color.

I heard it will clash if you try to put in a pink interior though.

Econ 03-18-2011 09:29 AM

you could always vinyl wrap it down the road too..

might actually be cheaper than taking a depreciation loss, and you would have a unique color...

bflosabre91 03-18-2011 09:41 AM

thanks for the input. i don't hate the color, i guess i just don't love it. i thought i would like it more because of the uniqueness but idk. I guess ill see what the wife says and hopefully she doesnt freak out, but im sure she will say a swear word

I vote for sticking with it too. Might not be a fan favorite for your typical 25 year old, but thats all the more reason to be proud of it. If it were me, Id add some tasteful exterior mods. I also concur that for a 25 year old it just doesnt make financial sense to take the hit on it.

it all depends on your financial situation i suppose.

I love Black Cherry! imo it's the best, but I'm naturally biased. I can't get enough of how this car looks in different ambient lighting.

I disagree - it's not a financially sound decision.
You going to lose $4,000 then buy a new car that will be worth $3-4,000 less then you just paid for it as soon as you drive it off the lot.
It may make emotional sense, but not financial sense

The b*tch of it is, that a re-spray in a new color would also cost that, if not more.
