Re: New car--what color?

I just got a new car over the weekend and opted for the Silver. My last car was black, and black shows dirt so quickly IMO.

Re: New car--what color?

Yes a clean black car is gorgeous but keeping it clean is a PIA!!!!!!!! I vote silver. White is also nice and easy to look clean even if its not. Chat Icon

Re: New car--what color?

I personally think all cars look best in black. But, if you are the kind of person that doesn't stay on top of it, then go for silver.
I am a happy person when my car is clean, so I get out and wash my car every week!!

Re: New car--what color?

Silver - Always looks clean. Doesnt show scratches.

I detail cars, and I can only tell you what a nightmare it is to clean a black car. I usually charge $20 to $25 extra when detailing if a car is black.

Get Silver - you wont regret it.

Black looks good the minute you pull it out of the showroom, and anytime after you wash, glaze and wax it.

Otherwise you can see everything on a black car including scratches, dirt, automated car wash swirls, if you go to a car wash.

Toss up for me.

Silver is the safest, according to one study.

Silver. I have a black car and its impossible to keep clean. It only looks good after I get it cleaned and waxed, which is hardly never.

You are moving to ATL, right - get silver! In the spring when everything is green, you will hate a black car!

Re: New car--what color?

I love black cars, but they show every scratch! If it's a lease, they'll go over the car with a fine toothed comb when you turn it in... I'd go with silver. They tend to look cleaner, too.

I have to say, though, black is my favorite color for cars...

Re: New car--what color?

I vote black for the 550 bmw, so much nicer/classier in black despite the ease of keeping the silver clean.

Re: New car--what color?

BMW has that nice charcoal gray color - is that an option? I had a BMW in that gray and it looked great - now have a black Mercedes and while it looks great it is a b*tch to keep clean.

Re: New car--what color?

I voted silver because black cars get so dirty so fast. I had black cars in MN but I was signed up for unlimited car washes for $30 a month. I haven't seen a car wash here that offers that. It's more like $25 per wash. Chat Icon
