Choosing Your Next Car Colour Is Important
Friday, 5. August 2016
It doesn’t seem that long ago when we used to ask the customer for the colour choice of their next lease car before we were able to quote because the colour of the car had such an effect on the resale value of the car at the end of the agreement.
And those that bought their new car insisting on something like Beige, Brown or Fern Green, regretting the colour choice when no dealer would be prepared to take the car in part exchange, for fear it would never sell. But since most manufacturers have now reduced their colour ranges to somewhat more standard colours we no longer have to ask the question but it’s useful to note the popular colours every so often to see the change in trends.
Advice from British Car Auctions (BCA) is that whilst a colour may be popular it may not suit the car. White can look the dogs on some 4WD cars whilst you could double as a pimp or drug dealer on another. Always worth having a chat with the dealer if not sure and always try to see the car in real life as opposed to a video or photos, they can look vastly different!
I’m surprised they could find 10 colours to list but for your edification here are the top 10 car colours: 1) Black, 2) White, 3) Grey, 4) Blue, 5) Silver (shocked), 6) Red, 7) Brown, 8) Green, 9) Orange and 10) Yellow. By Graham Hill
