Many people are careful when choosing the color of the car. In Indonesia, many believe that white and black cars are the cars with the most stable used prices. How about the Yellow Cars?
Uniquely in another country, the United States, the color of the car that has the most stable used prices is not white and black. Instead of yellow cars, they are the ones that rarely experience price drops.
This is based on a survey conducted by iSeeCars recently. No kidding, according to Autoblog, the survey was conducted on 1.6 million cars with a three-year lifespan in the United States.
In the survey, it is known that most cars that have reached the age of three years have experienced a price reduction of 22.5 percent. The unique thing is that the yellow car does not experience this.
The yellow cars actually only experienced a price reduction of 13.5 percent. “Yellow cars can actually save USD 3,000 (Rp. 44, 6 million) compared to other color cars,” explained Karl Brauer, an analyst from iSeeCars.
He said that currently most people avoid yellow cars because they are very conspicuous. It’s just that the number of people who need it is very stable so that it becomes a niche segment.
This actually makes the yellow car not easy to depreciate. “So that’s the answer why the price of yellow cars is very good in the used car market,” explained Karl Brauer.
Apart from yellow, another color that also has a stable depreciation is beige. The light brown color is in second place with a decrease in value of 17.8 percent.
In third place is a car with an orange color which only experienced a price reduction of 18.5 percent in the same period.
How about the favorite black and white color in Indonesia? Black and white cars in the United States did not do very well at keeping used prices down.
The white car is in sixth position with a decrease of 21.9 percent. The black color is actually in 11th position with a decrease value of 23.9 percent.
But the color of the car with the worst resale price is a car with a gold color. The gold color car actually decreased the most in price because it reached 25.9 percent.
“Every year consumer preferences change. But one component remains consistent, namely common colors such as black and silver have never been the best to maintain resale prices,” said Karl Brauer.
