Color is a huge turnoff and for $140K it should be a desirable color like silver/black/white. But who am I kidding, if I had the money the first mod i would do is get a matte wrap to a color I like.

Doubt it will sell for his asking price. 4 owners is a lot and I would be more comfortable at around $100K. 140K and I'm just buying this:

Nope. That color is undesirable and if the color were white, silver, black it would have a broader potential buyer market. Since when is a maroon red a visually appealing color? There's a reason you don't see new Porsches or any sports car in that "arena red".. It won't sell to anyone but a select few old rich niche buyers.

Just an example of a glossy wrap that looks good if you don't like matte. Remember you can get it done in any color.

It's an appealing color because it captures a specific era. You can slap the same paint on a 2014 911 but in my opinion, wouldn't capture the same look and feel of a pre 2000's Porsche. If I were looking to buy a 915, I'd find one that wasn't in a White, Silver or Black. I'd look for one in this specific color such as this:



You do have a point in saying that it appeals to a smaller market but wrapping a unmolested 90's 993 in a bright ass green is more appealing than original paint. I say nuh uh honey. Nothing really beats original paint, unless you have a car that's in black, white or silver.

Kidding me? $4k for a 23 year old Civic? As good of condition as it's in, that's about twice what it's worth.

Tofu: that M5 was posted a few pages back. I agree it is quite a bit of money. I actually wonder if it will be a collector car one day.

911s in rare colors are selling for higher prices. Riveria blue, zenith blue, etc. What do I know though. I messed up and bought an ugly maroon 993.
