Default Any color I should avoid?

Hi everyone, I am a newbie here and do not own a S2000. But I always loved the car (always owned Hondas)and now I can finally afford one (Summer car).
I have my eyes on a Laguna Blue and an Imola orange of similar conditions and mileage. Are there any colors that I should avoid at all cost? Would my choice or Laguna blue or Imola Orange make a difference in future re-sale value should I ever sell it!? Thank you.

Dan

HI,
I would go with laguna blue, I owned one back in 2009. It is a really nice color.

Can't go wrong with Silver ever. Black is a pain to keep clean and white never seems to pop like other colors.

Black is hard to keep clean,Red & yellow have radar attracting ingredients...so Blue,White or Silver.

I don't think those two specific colors will affect resale value. I'd go with the blue one. Love that color

I wouldn't necessarily avoid any particular factory color with the s2000 unless you are not fond of the way it looks, but black cars are nearly impossible to keep swirl free from my experience. However, after a full exterior detail they do look great.

Welcome.

Check out the link in my signature.

I own a LBP and I love it

My other colour choice would of been GPW with black and red interior.

I don't think there is any paint problems associated with one specific colour if that is what you were asking.

You haven't bought the car yet, why are you thinking about the next owner?

Get what you like and enjoy it - for yourself not for the next guy!
