Dealers aren't speccing them yellow because they don't sell as well as other colors. If people were lining up for yellow Porsches, dealers would absolutely be ordering more yellow Porsches.
Odd colors may be priced differently at the top of the market for used cars (I don't know), but that's just not true for the typical car used buyer.
- nicenewtemp84 4y agoI specifically wrote that a new yellow Porsche is difficult to sell. People will travel for used cars. New car buyers want to pick a car. A few new car buyers do spec out custom orders and wait, but it's very rare. In general, that's atleast how half the crazy colors come into the market.
- danaris 4y agoThe problem isn't that fewer unusual colors are made. The problem is that no unusual colors are made in almost all car models. There are a very small handful of models that have a few particular colors beyond the basic black/white/red/silver/dark blue options, but otherwise manufacturers have decided that because fewer people want yellow (or bright blue, or pink, or orange, or magenta), no one gets those colors. Ever.
- conradkay 4y agoEven the new Miata's color options are gray-scale, red, very dark blue, and sand. Worth mentioning that you can just buy wraps for wacky colors while protecting your paint and resale value, maybe that's part of it.
