Default Yellow

Do you guys think there will be difficulty in reselling a Velocity Yellow Vette? I know the white is extremely hard to resell, I am wondering if the Yellow will fare the same. Has anyone noticed VY vettes being sold for cheaper?

It will be sales nightmare!!!

Why would anyone who drives the best looking American car on the road want to draw attention to their ride with that flashy color?

I recommend a nice sedate SUV/sedan/minivan color.

LOL

Judging by how many people give me the thumbs up & compliments on my VY coupe, I am guessing you will not have trouble finding a buyer - unless you didn't take care of it and it looks shabby.

No trouble at all. An outrageous car should be an outrageous color.

Nice "head fake" professor. Or, as was said many years ago, "Please don't throw me in that briar patch Br'er Fox"

Every person I have met who has seen my car has said the same thing.

"I don't really like Yellow on any car. Except this one."

I do like the color. It's just that I rarely keep a car past a year and a half, and it would suck to have a hard time selling it. The other thing is having my conservative co-workers think I am too full of myself. The car will stick out like a sore thumb in our lot.

So instead of 30 buyers for a red one, you'll have only 20...

Well, if the number of compliments I receive is any indication, it shouldn't be any problem at all. Besides, I bought the color for ME and not for someone else (except maybe my wife )

We've heard that numerous times as well. I don't think any color is better or worse than any other when it comes to resale. Those buying used know they can't always be picky, and I'm not just talking color - I'm talking options as well.

When I put my 02 MY up for sale it was gone in a weekend.

It also helps to have a MN6 because you won't be able to find too many of them for sale - lots of autos though.
