Color choice

[mikec]

I'm ready to buy a late model NSX and like yellow and red. Yellow seems a bit harder to find. I'm looking for opinions about whether resale value down the road would be significantly higher for one color vs. the other.

Thanks all

IMO yellow "might" have a higher resale(to someone who wants yellow) due to the fact they are less likely to be found (although they are out there).Then the other side of the coin is its fairly obvious that theres a larger demand for red which makes the sale move faster which drops time/and cost of advertising a bit.6 of one and half a dozen of the other kinda' .I think this is a somewhat reasonable hypothosis.

Most of the NSX colors - including yellow and red - have not generally experienced any significant premium or discount in market value caused by the color.

There may be a slight premium for Monte Carlo Blue and possibly for Sebring Silver, and a slight discount for Midnight Pearl, but that's about it.

Buy the color car you would like to own, and don't worry about resale value.

If you look at AutoTrader.com, I often see many yellow NSXs up for sale.

I'm kind of partial to the Silverstone myself.

I would have to say that the blues are my favorite. I would have paid a little more for a blue one - but that's just me.

IMO, silver color shows the line of NSX the best. Yellow color gets all the attention and blue is just an awesome color for NSX too! These are the best color for NSX IMO.

You can't go wrong with yellow or red...especially if you like to be noticed.

I find that the red photographs more true to color than yellow, which tends to vary dramatically by angle and time of day.

I should add that I never liked any yellow car until I saw a Spa Yellow Pearl NSX-T IN PERSON. Had I come across it before my red one, I might be driving a yellow one now.

On another note, I had a similar reaction to Kaiser Silver.

White is the classiest !

 

[smoore]

i think black is the classiest

 

[mikec]

Wow... I guess this proves that as far as opinions (like that other thing), every one has one. For me its a hard choice. I've always liked red... but I think I like the yellow more, at least in the short term, but not sure how i'll feel about it after a few years.

Thanks!! wish me luck.

keep the shiny side up

As others have said, there's not that much of a price difference in the different colors, mostly 'cause the NSX looks awesome in *any* color.

Except for that pukey green special-order Japan-only color, that is...

Red would be faster because the paint is actually lighter in weight. I do not think it would be a measurable difference though.

Here's my take on colors.

White - Classiest/luxirious
Black - Stealthiest/bad ass
Silver - Shows the technical/engineering side of the car, also classy.
Blue - Coolest
Yellow - Flashiest
Red - Fastest

I'll take white for Sunday, blue for Monday,
silver for Tuesday, yellow for Wednesday, green for Thursday, black for Friday and red for Saturday..........
