Have a magnesium civic and a silver Kia so will probably pass on Silver this time, but I do like it with the red seats.

Avoid the colours that you don't like...

Yes I had a black Nissan NX 2000, way too much work. I never liked white cars. Red and yellow, definitely attractive and I don't mind the radar magnet.

The S looks good on any of the factory colors. I wanted the Laguna Blue but ended with Silverstone. Just keep it nice and clean, and you would admire the car at any angle.

As for the re-sale value, it depends on what mods you do to the car.

Get the color you want first. Grey cars are great to hide any rock chips that the car will get. Easy to keep clean also.

Get what you like and enjoy it - for yourself not for the next guy!
Fair enough...good comment...I was just afraid there might be a color that became a N0-N0 for everyone...It doesn't seem to be the case.
thx

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.

Get the color you like the best. My wife bought a cream colored VW beetle convertible 5 years ago to replace her red beetle convertible that was totaled in an accident. Every few weeks, she tells me she regrets not waiting longer to find a red one.

If you are concerned about resale, try to get one with the original paintwork (no accidents) and lower miles. I came real close to buying an 08 NFR with 83K miles for $18.5K on a Friday (the owner sold it to someone else 5 hours before I was going to buy it). I found an 06 NFR the next day with 17K miles for $1000 more. I was looking for 4 months.


Good luck, it's a great car regardless of color.
