Default Colors...colors...

Are all s2000s created equal?

To be sure they all breath them same fiery blood underneath the hood, yet even the superficial things such as "skin" color can matter

Faced w/ a choice between a lower priced silver or the spa yellow/suzuka blue, I cannot help but be lured by the temptations of the latter

Your thoughts? Do you think certaing colors of the S retain their value more so than other more "common" colorations?

Its a pretty common fact that black, white and silver retain resale value better than other colors, but there are no ugly colors for the S, so get what you want. I think a big thing to consider on the S is the interior package as well though.

Ahhh my friend...if it were just that simple


I was born w/ mind grounded by indecision...

It took a long time just to concentrate upon the S, yet now, even as I revel in the joys of the driving experience, my mind is drawn towards several different colors


hehe

But I was still curious...are still sure of the fact that the "basic" colors retain more of their value? Perhaps I am under the mistaken perception that the outlandish and "gawdy" paint schemes (i.e blue, yellow, etc) would hold more of their value.

I like the fact that the blue looks so good with the oem blue softtop. I almost picked blue over red for that reason. Blue also looks great in different lighting conditions.

My Porsche buddies always claim red retains the value better for sports cars.

It IS pretty simple.

1.) Find out what colors the S2000 comes in

2.) Buy the color you like the best

Even 6 years old when asked can pick their favorite color.
