So, my Targa is Seal Gray.

But, I still prefer yellow.

Our dads must know each other. I got the same lecture 30 years ago when I was looking at a green celica gt lift. He concluded that i wouldnt be able to look at the green car, and made me pass on it. I think he was right, i liked the biege one i got much better.

As for the OP, yes it is worth less, as is a brown car. I know this for a fact. When I told my wife i wanted to buy a used M3 she said "go for it, but what color is it?" when i told her yellow she asked if i was getting a screaming good deal because of the color, and if not a screaming good deal I should pass on the car and find one in a good color.

so i guess yellow may be worth less to a happly married man living by the creedo "she who must be obeyed is always obeyed"

On the way home from the purchase I dropped it off at the body shop so they could polish the paint a little more so it would look its best when we got home. she prefers to be seen in the blue astra over the yellow m3. my 6 year old loves the yellow.
