You’re right, berrynancy! White cars need frequent washes. I think I wash mine at least every two weeks to keep it looking fresh.
That’s quite a commitment! With black cars, I find I only wash mine every month or so, but they still show dirt and scratches easily.
What about resale value? I’ve heard black cars hold value better than white ones because they’re more popular.
Interesting thought, james39! I think that can vary by market. But black cars do have that sleek appeal that many buyers like.
True! But I feel like black being more ‘premium’ does help with resale in many cases.
On the flip side, black cars do need careful detailing to shine. It’s quite a chore!
You nailed it, paulsnow! With white cars, I make sure to avoid muddy roads to keep it looking clean.
Is it just me, or does everyone feel like black cars are always getting scratched? They’re like magnets for dings!
When it comes to resale value, black cars tend to hold their value better. According to a recent study, black vehicles make up about 22% of the market, which indicates strong buyer demand.

Great question, amandabrown! Insurance companies often don’t penalize for color, but they do consider safety factors. A study revealed that lighter colors are less likely to be involved in accidents!
I feel like black cars can seem more luxurious. They might attract a different buyer demographic. Have there been any statistics on that?

What about market trends on unusual colors like orange or green? Are they just a fad?
Unusual colors can be hit or miss. While trendy, they often have lower resale value as they appeal to a niche market. But hey, it’s all about standing out, right?

Exactly! And honestly, who doesn’t love a quirky car? It’s a conversation piece!
