I really can't decide.

Everyone goes for black cars.
Black cars look awesome when clean.
Black cars are subtle.
Black cars cost more, but have better resale value.

I like red cars, they are different.
Red cars also look awesome when clean, and don't look dirty as quickly.
Red cars are much more in your face.
Red cars are cheaper, resale value suffers. Costs £500 less and has 4000 less miles.

black shows scratches and swirls much more, red tends to fade/ look dull if not looked after

Added a poll, saves people having to post lol

There is also a silver one with only 10k on but it's more expensive and i don't like silver.

not the best of colours because of whats been said, red fades too easy and black shows up all scratches and swirls but black looks immense when cleanded properly.

TBH it depends, black is the worst to keep clean but with the right attention you can keep swirls down and it will look like this:

After Having a black car tho decided to go red:

I find red a lot better to clean, and doesnt show as many marks up.

Enjoy the car when you pick it up ;)

Would love a black sax, but I love my red sax just as much.

The black fabia just looks like a taxi imo... do you want that look?

If red is kept clean and the bodywork looked after it won't fade as quickly-mine hasn't noticeably faded :y:

Like the red, but I'd want metalic paint, so black please. Both ours have been black and the paintwork has been flawless, no chippage either

Nice to see you listened to my car buying advice FAGlex ;)

Yeah i want metallic really, although i do enjoy a good detail so the red would stay looking mint too.

Got 3 hours left to decide, fed up of having to get lifts to work and nicking the work van lol
