You’ve been on the search for a good used car for your wife,
and you’ve finally found the perfect one. It’s the right make, model, the
mileage is low for the year, and, most importantly, the price is right. You
come home all excited to tell her the news. “That’s great,” she says. “But what
color is it?” Of course, it’s silver, and she tells you to keep on looking.
The thing is, it may not be all that easy to find the color car
she wants. When buying used, there may not be a lot of choice. She may just
have to settle with what’s available.
Silver is one of the three most popular car colors in the
United States. The other two are white and black.
Proof is everywhere. Just scan a full parking lot or take
notice of the cars whizzing by you on the highway. Based on demand, car
manufacturers are pumping out what consumers want, and it looks like the
popularity of the basic three isn’t waning anytime soon.
When buying a new car these days, it makes sense to stick
with the neutrals – silver, white and black – if you want to boost the resale
value of your car. Obviously, it would take a specific buyer – maybe your wife
– to want, say, a yellow or purple car. So, if you had given in to her whim
five years ago, and bought a brand new purple car, chances are you’re going to find
it much harder to sell or trade it in today.
So, as you search around for that perfect used car, expect
to find plenty of silver, black and white makes and models to choose from, and
good luck with trying to please your wife.
