My wife is about to order a new S4 avant and quite fancies getting it in metallic red. I like the idea of something a bit different but are there any reasons not to get a bright coloured car. I've heard of following:

1. Potential resale value isuues (due to being less in demand)
2. Colour fade after years in the sunshine (you see some dodgy 20 year old red cars there)
3. I find it hard to believe but heard rumours from a work colleague of BiB playing "snooker" ie making sure they pull over a car of every colour on the table.

Thoughts?

Thanks for feedback. Agree that as long as it suits car then resale no issue. The more I think about it the more I think third point retongue outolice snooker issue is complete rubbish. And doubt modern paints really would age quickly (only after years when car's lost 90+% of value anyway) so red it is!

ps - love the colour of that RS6 but the cost of special paint like that is crazy!
