When it comes to sports cars, the more obnoxious the color the better the resale. Particularly if it's not very common. Green is number three, after orange and yellow for best resale value.Um...
Good luck with future resale value on that color... LOL
(No offense to those who like it - itās just not a color on ANY Brand or vehicle that I would ever even remotely entertain for purchasing, much the same as a shit brown car..)
I wonder if the guy who came up with that color got a bonus?
Where the hell are you getting those numbers from? Red is number 1, blue is 2, Black is 3. Excentric colors donāt sell as well because they have a more selective audienceWhen it comes to sports cars, the more obnoxious the color the better the resale. Particularly if it's not very common.

Maybe you guys are mixing up resale numbers and resale price?Where the hell are you getting those numbers from? Red is number 1, blue is 2, Black is 3. Excentric colors donāt sell as well because they have a more selective audience
That flat gray with the sign conveniently covering the rear badge...Guessing that's not a GT :(

I like that color.
You are looking at numbers, not depreciation. From this article (and there are others). The take rate on green is very low, but the depreciation is better than average. Yea, not many people buy them, but those that want green are willing to pay green.Where the hell are you getting those numbers from? Red is number 1, blue is 2, Black is 3.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/what-colors-give-your-car-the-best-resale-value/Green is the third-best color for depreciation after orange and yellow. It has about a 2 percent new-car selection rate and a depreciation rate of 24.5 percent for 2013 cars -- 5.3 percentage points better than the average car.
