Yellow: yay or nay?

CAN8IAN · 09-08-2011, 08:35 AM

I would say nay as well....

Doug&Michelle · 09-08-2011, 09:19 AM

Nay

dennis26 · 09-08-2011, 09:31 AM

Get what you like. Forget resale and what others think.

I like how the yellow looks at first glance, but am not sure I could live with it. I passed on a CY as a result when I was buying (at used Z's only), even though it had fewer miles than the one I settled on.

Yay.

Resale value is not affected, I don't know why that is assumed..

There is some basis for truth, although I don't know if it's exactly true here.

1. It does date the car, since it only came out that one year. Although that could also work in one's favor, since it is the rarest color offered.

2. Studies have been done that show certain colors sell better/worse on the second-hand market, although I don't know how yellow fares. Green is said to be the hardest to move, while Red seems to be the easiest. Of course, that study's a couple years old at this point.

I agree with you but to say it will "have no resale value" like some have said is just false.

Look at the 2005 UY Z33 for example, it still fetches the same value as any other Z33 that is similarly equipped. At the end of the day it's a sports car so a wilder color is generally accepted.

I like a CY Z next to my blue Z in pictures, I'll post up some pics later at home. the two colors contrast very nicely. But yeah I wouldn't want to own a yellow car unless its a lambo or ferrari and even then my choice would probably end up being red.

I think most people like all the 370 colors but you will find haters for each and every 370 color.
