    Not always. If you keep that car in good condition and it ends up being a desirable color it it could be considered rare by resale time, you’re just rolling the dice when you buy it with that strategy compared to a more common/basic color.

      That’s kind of the point, though. The colored cars are less desirable colors, so the resale value drops.

      90% of cars will never become sought after vehicles. If the 10% that could, you’re very likely to have already sold it before it ever became collectable.

        I agree, also haven’t seen anyone mention the cost of repairs. Buying a car with a common colour will make the replacement of an exterior part much cheaper.
