Default Resale Color
I was wondering if there was one color that was best for resale. I have had White, Yellow and Gray. Just curious what the community thinks.
Thanks

i agree. I think blue may not have as big an audience and will take a little longer to sell then red but those that want it will pay a premium.

You should buy the color you like best. Why worry if the resale is a few bucks more years from now?

The most popular color for C7 Corvettes is Arctic White by a few percent over Torch Red.

Red, not in Florida. Fades. But get what whatever color like.

Now That Watkins Glen Grey has been discontinued that should increase resale value for those of us lucky enough to have this very cool stealth color.

I 've had spiral, cyber and shark greys. They're all very similiar. The newest gray thats out is close to Watkins. I don't know that any would be collectable unless they were made in a limited number in a limited package/equipment combo. Oh, my 1st vette was a red 94' stick. I'll never forget that one.

I really struggled with the color choice, Loved the red and silver but the WGG surprisingly won the battle for my attention

Don't want hijack the op's post, but as you can see I've been partial to grays. My latest, ceramic, is a light gray, but highlights the accents well. You'll be pleased with WGG.

Unless you have a 1 of 3 or something on that order, I doubt color will make much difference at resale time.

Been asked before. About the same time last year. Red, Blue, Black, Yellow all have the same resale value.

Silver = $300 less

White = $200 more

From watching, I'd say white exterior with red interior has the best resale value.
