Yeah, a masochistic premium!

Seriously, black is pretty but boy is it a major PITA to keep looking half decent. Collects dust 30 seconds after washing, shows all the imperfections, bla bla bla.

It is not called a "real body mans" color without reason.

We are not talking 100k asking prices. These are sub 20K cars and not highly sought after by collectors.

For me I would pay a premium for a black car. But in my eyes if it aint black or silver, I dont want it.
Somehow I'm not shocked you'd pass on a speed yellow car.

I would never buy a yellow car. It just screams "HEY LOOK AT ME" same goes with red.
To each his own, that is why Porsche covered the rainbow in regards to paint selection.

Me, I have always had black or silver.
I got the red 944 because my cousin practically gave it to me. I almost passed because of the color.

Oddly, I have black and polar silver Pcars and would prefer either Guards Red, Yellow, Blue, or several other nice colors I've seen. All the Pcar colors are interesting but it's just a personal taste thing. I've never bought my Pcars cars based on color but rather overall condition.

My 1st 968 was a blk. I bought it and 3 weeks later an Amazon Green M030 showed up. I ended up buying the M030 as well .
I have owned them in the following colors: Black, Amazon Green M030, GP White, Amazon Green cabriolet, Speed Yellow, Guards red (with a friend) and the Riviera Blue.
I absolutely love my RB and if given the chance, would pick that over other colors every time. SY would be my next and then Polar Silver.

Black or Midnight Blue. I love the darker colors with a Cashmere interior.
