While I agree yellow cars in general are harder to move, We have to keep in mind that we are looking at a very emotional car specifically this time, and TY seems to be at least a very popular color to be discussed in the photo section.If you are looking for advice, I will tell you this from the point of view of a new car dealer.
If you go with Yellow, you will get a lower trade-in number later down the line. It would be a tougher out-right private party sell as well. The reason is that the color only sells to very specific people. You really limit your buying audience.
Now, that said, I almost bought my GT in Triple Yellow last Friday. It is really beautiful. The dealer had both colors on the lot. The Competition Orange is really great looking too. But, since I am in the business, I know the limitations of moving a Yellow car. I went the Deep Impact Blue.
So, my advice, from a pure business standpoint, is go with the CO.
The is a guy that lives down the street from us with a Yellow GT from 2 generations back. And also on same street is a guy with on new Camaro in Yellow. Looking at both of those cars, yellow does not really age well either. I am sure that if treated and cared for it would be better, but......
Anyway, that's my 2 cents, and that's probably all it's worth! (I am NOT a Ford dealer.)
Jokes apart, get the color you want and desire. Imagine the car after you are done with cosmetic mods (if any) like wheels, stripes, tint etc. Visualize it parked outside your house, at work, on a rainy day, on the track etc. Don't let anyone tell you what to get and screw resale, on a mustang it really doesn't matter- while the demand for yellow and orange will certainly be less depending on where u live, so will the supply. Any difference in price is not worth driving a color u don't like. Also, my regards to anyone with the balls to drive a bright daring color like TY or CO. It's certainly not for everyone, but the only choices for me.
