Black is difficult to keep clean. It's never been a marmite colour. That surely refers to colours like green, yellow and other less mainstream choices.
Correct, just look at how a high a percent of cars are black.Orangecurry said:

Correct, just look at how a high a percent of cars are black.Car colours are subject to fashion. Tastes change. Red was a popular choice up to the 90's since it fell from favour. Silver grew popular but is something of a vanilla colour. Looks much the same clean or dirty, which some see as an advantage. White was resale death until around 10 years ago. The police dropped white as their default choice replacing with silver for resale reasons.
Black has always been in fashion for cars and clothes. It always will be as its iconic. For me black is the definitive 911 colour. Moody and menacing. Much like many who post here.

Black isn't a colour and it certainly isn't the definitive 911 colour.Black has always been in fashion for cars and clothes. It always will be as its iconic. For me black is the definitive 911 colour. Moody and menacing. Much like many who post here.
Silver is the definitive colour even if it's become a victim of its own popularity.

If black isn't a colour you need to call watchdog. Car manufacturers have been advertising it as such for years. Piston heads. Pedantry matters.Silver is the definitive colour even if it's become a victim of its own popularity.

I'm with you on this. I've been tracking them for some months, including private sales of ones with nicer specs (in my mind- I know it's personal). I think 65 would have been closer. There were some posts a couple of months ago that pointed to trade bids being a few grand lower than 65 so if the goal was to shift it then I think the reserve was definitely ott.
That was me. Trade bids for my 997.1 GT3 all ranged between 60 and 62 from memory. Car sold for 65, bought unseen by another enthusiast. I needed a fast sale, but I think 67 would have been the max private sale price if I'd hung on. That was a 2006 car, white, carrera GT factory buckets, 31k miles, recent major service and brake fluid, FSH with invoices etc etc.I sure these cars will be worth more in the long term, but at the minute, if you're paying over 70 privately/auction for a car similar to mine, you're being had. I suspect almost all the ones for sale are SOR amd the asking prices optimistic. Low 70s is where my car should be at a dealer
Edit: maybe not sold to quite so much of an enthusiast as I thought
