Do certain colors have better resale? Which ones?

Posted

Probably not. I'm saying that based on the assumption that what Won said has any merit.

Let's be honest. It doesn't.

I'm not in the car sales business, but a close friend of 20 years is..... he told me that typically dealerships will mark up RED vehicles $1000 to $2000 higher than other colors, just because they're RED. Red sells. (According to him). He said if they put a bright red car or truck on the corner of their lot, on an elevated platform, it will sell the same day..... other colors not so much.

It is an impulse buy color. 5 years later when you go to trade it in, all you hear is: "Dude, your truck is green. No one wants a green used truck."

 

I am not sure where you are located, but here in Texas it doesn't matter what color your truck is more than likely you will be able to sell it. I personally love the way the gmt-800 looked in green and the way this truck looks in green. The only thing from stopping me to buy a green truck and why I got my truck in white is because of scratches and imperfections. White and silver tends to hide scratches and imperfections a lot better than any dark color including green, which is why I got white. Plus a white truck leveled with some black accents always looks killer, there are some nice chrome white trucks too but I like the black accents better. (i.e. wheels logos etc but not too much)

Maybe that's why none of the dealers in my town would offer me an awesome deal like I see in the price paid thread. I was shopping for a victory red.

Just saw this green Z 71 at a local dealership. And holy cow! It looks so much better in person.

 

Holy Nice Silverado.........!!!!

I just passed a Chevy in that green tonight on my way home from work. First one I've seen, other than the pics of the GMC's last night. Looked very nice!

Dammit the GMCs wear that green especially good! I won't be buying till sometime early next year if all goes to plan but I was primarily considering the Chevy since I've read so many complaints about how awful the headlights are on the GMC but I may suck it up because that looks so nice. :lol:

    • There's some truth to the above, but also, she's selling fullsize trucks and bread/butter CUV's like hotcakes, meanwhile, extracting GM's pickups from the deep discounting sales game.   GM's stock has held its own during her tenure, and the more recent buybacks are delivering cash back to investors and signal confidence in their direction forward. Even with the EV losses.   GM is an example of a modern publicly traded company. The #1 goal of any publicly traded company is to deliver the most value possible to shareholders. Despite being a car company, building the best car isn't GM's path to delivering maximum shareholder value.   McDonalds doesn't make the best burger, or the best coffee.   I've mentioned in another thread, I really don't / won't ever understand Cadillac or Buick in a modern context. Both brands are completely dead to me. I'll cede that the Escalade is a nice SUV, but the brand and nameplate mean nothing to me, and GM will never persuade me to pay north of $170k for a gussied-up Tahoe or Burb. Other people don't mind doing that and that's their purview.   The C8 shares absolutely nothing in common with any other current Chevrolet or Corvette on the market. Since its introduction 8 years ago, it's developed quite the following. It did what other Corvettes couldn't do: reduce the average age of its buyer. GM has something there, and I see them investing in the car. They'd better not mess that up.   We've successfully derailed Grumpy's thread again, but I think this one is meant to be more of a random thought thread so a little wandering is probably OK.
    • Sliding doors ftw   Also, Sienna ftw as well.  The in-laws got a 2024-2025 recently when their 2019 sienna was totaled due to a deer back in June.  They've been getting 38-40mpg on the 65mph highway they live on.
    • Forgot to mention that this started after changing the oil I use mobile 1 full syn with mobile one filter but I did add pro lube additive and was the first time doing so and is making me wonder just can't see why that would matter
    • I apologize for long post put going to try to explain everything. Parts replaced so far: Cam sensor Crank sensor Cam phaser valve Cam phaser solenoid Fuel pump Maf 1 injector Pcm Pdm   So about 2 weeks ago coming off the highway my 2007 yukon xl with the 6.2 stalled and would restart. Had unit towed back to house and I messed around with relays and unit started. Drove it the next day and same thing. Had it towed again. Scanned unit and had code p0300 with misfire data showing mainly cylinder 7 but I know that won't cause a no start. Measure fuel pressure and found only 42 psi replaced pump to have unit stall again and not restart. This time I stayed on back roads and just waited for it to restart about 30 to 60 min. During this time I found I have no injector pulse but have good power at injectors. Started unplugging 1 injector at a time and found when unplugging cylinder 7 pulse came back so i changed injecto and same issue. Turns out unit just happen to ready to start at that time. Scanned into unit and found no reason for the pcm to take away injector pulse so I replaced the pcm and same issue. I figured timing sesnor controlled the injector pulse so I replaced both sensors and while I had the water pump of i replaced the vvt components while i was in there. Read multiple people have luck chaging the maf for this issue so I changed it. Unit still stalls to this day and loses injector pulse on the ground side when it does. Have noticed watching the live data the pcm is request injectors to fire via injector pwm value. I have redone the ground wires at the left bottom of the block knowing this was the ground location for the pcm but still no luck. I am a mechanic by trade but this is having me pull my hair out. If anyone has something to have me check I will gladly im not much of a parts thrower but im about to load the cannon
    • Actually.  Wait.   I just re-read your original post.  Are you talking from INSIDE the truck you have to hit unlock?  Or from the key fob?  I had assumed from the key fob.   IF you are talking the inside unlock button, I assume you are shifting to park and its not unlocking the doors?  If so, that is changed via the settings page in the radio.  Go to SETTINGS, then VEHICLE and then it should be under LOCKS or DOOR LOCKS or something like that.
