Jordannunns Posted 25, September 2020 Report Share Posted 25, September 2020 Hey guys, looking at buying a yellow R.S. 250 cup trophy. Was just wondering how popular the colour is? Just in case I was to sell it in the future if there was high resale value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt205 Posted 26, September 2020 Report Share Posted 26, September 2020 (edited) Jeez, we're leaving you hanging here! So yellow is obviously not going to be to everyone's taste, and the yellow in the 250 isn't the hero Liquid Yellow of the later cars. Resale will be more to do with how you price it at the time as much as anything. How is it priced compared right now against similar cars? If it's way cheaper and been for sale for longer then that should tell you what you need to know. Ultimately do you like it? If so just buy it and enjoy it, if you feel you're comprising just move along. Not really sure that was even vaguely helpful! 😁 Edited 26, September 2020 by Matt205 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest Gaza Posted 27, September 2020 Report Share Posted 27, September 2020 (edited) Personally, I think any colour will sell. My RS250 was White, and my current RS265 is Liquid Yellow. Neither of these are my first choice in colour....but I still bought them. Edited 27, September 2020 by Honest Gaza 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanted red but ended up getting white with red stripes down the sides. I always had the intentions to take the decals off but they really grew on me in the end. With a good wax I find the white really shines at night time. Edited 27, September 2020 by Docmattic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris350Z Posted 28, September 2020 Report Share Posted 28, September 2020 Hey mate, I followed the market for a year before buying a 250 and yellow cars are definitely less desirable than other colours judging by how long they were listed for sale and what they were listed for. As @Matt205 has alluded to, ultimately the market will decide what the car is worth, so as long as you pick up the car for cheaper than average then you shouldn't be too worried about selling the car for a cheaper than average price. The challenge here is to play it cool and resist making an emotional decision when a yellow one does finally pop up. These are great cars: there's a good chance you might own your Meg for a long time. At the end of the day it will be your car, no one else's, so in my view it always makes sense to wait for the spec you really want. One final thought: if seeing the car, even thinking about the car, in your preferred colour makes you smile, who cares about $1 or $2k in resale? Driving and owning a car should give you pleasure, and that's something worth paying for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob 240 Posted 28, September 2020 Report Share Posted 28, September 2020 Yellow cars are faster The science is settled A great colour choice for safety as well 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onrus Posted 28, September 2020 Report Share Posted 28, September 2020 If it’s got a good service history and the car has been looked after some one will buy it, might just take longer. The RS 250 yellow is really nice in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordannunns Posted 28, September 2020 Author Report Share Posted 28, September 2020 Thanks everybody for your thoughts, I’ve given the add another look, it says it’s a 265 trophy cup. But has a silver/chrome front grill which I thought was a 275? Apparently there is only 100 models in Australia. It’s a 2014 model if that helps. trying to rap my head around the different specs 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLUGGO33X Posted 28, September 2020 Report Share Posted 28, September 2020 That looks like the one in Qld. FYI, I ran a ppsr check on this one and it came back with accident history.The seller didn't know too much about the repairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt205 Posted 28, September 2020 Report Share Posted 28, September 2020 Looks like a 275 Trophy, so will be Liquid Yellow, Turini's and an Akra exhaust. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calaisclio Posted 28, September 2020 Report Share Posted 28, September 2020 There was a trophy for sale a couple of months ago in the damaged section in Queensland. Its probably it. It had quite a hard hit by memory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
