Hi All.

Im about to pull the plug on a 458 in Grigio Silverstone.

The only thing that concerns me is future resale value due to the colour.

Is Grigio as easy to move as say a red or black car, If it helps the car is absolutely loaded?

Thank in advance

Strange one really - a lot of dealers would say that these days, colour has little or no effect on such a fantastic car; I had a Grigio Titanium 458 myself and was often complimented on such a great choice. Running a grey/silver car also falls under the radar a fair bit as far as the no-car-interest person is concerned. Go to any Ferrari meeting though and you'll find vast majority are still Red and various shades thereof!
Definitely think getting the right spec, loaded car is the best plan - they are fantastic.

I bought a red one but to be honest I'd have bought grey or black had the right car have been available.

surely its much less of an issue these days?
Im sure back in the 90s that a Giallo or Silver testarossa would have been slightly harder to sell but that really was when 90% rolled out the factory gates in Rosso, f40 and f50 encouraged this thought process for a while longer whilst restricting colour choice... but since the f355 onwards there has been colour galore... how many blue, yellow or silver or black or dare i even say white, 348's do you see for example?! look down the classifieds at 458s and plenty are around in varying colours.
I always believe you should buy what you like (except pink obviously and not orange except Lambos and Mc's)

It would be my colour of choice but we are all different.....

If colour affects the value does that not mean its cheaper to buy in the first place so come resale time it evens itself out?

I would buy the colour I want rather than own a car in a colour I don't want just to make it easier to sell in the future.
