Eli5: why do white cars have a higher resale value?

1.30K viewsOther

Is it because colours fade? Would you really see two identical cars in a sales yard and the blue one is a grand cheaper than the white one next to it?

Anecdotally, I find that white lasts the longest with average paint care and is the easiest to keep looking clean. Dark colors absorb more light, show more dirt, and begin fading faster unless you take good care to wax it often. On top of that, it’s a fairly ‘neutral’ color so it may have a bigger market of buyers in general.
