      Not always. If you keep that car in good condition and it ends up being a desirable color it it could be considered rare by resale time, you’re just rolling the dice when you buy it with that strategy compared to a more common/basic color.

        That’s kind of the point, though. The colored cars are less desirable colors, so the resale value drops.

        90% of cars will never become sought after vehicles. If the 10% that could, you’re very likely to have already sold it before it ever became collectable.

      More specifically, all of the bright colours tend to fade in the sun over time.

        Is that true today? In my experience it is mostly Japanese cars from the 80s where the fading is a big problem. On the other hand, my country is not having a lot of sun so I guess it could be a problem in other countries with more sun.
