I got an offer from one of the dealer where he is selling honda accord sport 2015 version at 18 K and this is white orchid in color , but i was looking for the black and there is another dealer who is selling at the same rate but 2014 model, so wanted to know whether this white color is good ? Does color make any difference if we are buying or selling the car

Appreciate your input

    75% of all cars are sold in black, white, silver or gray.

    Statistically, the two most important factors in car buying are price and color.

    White is the most popular color (at least, that's what a car salesman told me when I was looking at Toyotas. I assume that it would hold true for Hondas as well.)

    I would say silver is number one at least around here. In hot parts of the country it is nearly impossible to sell a black or dark colored car. Holding out for a certain color on a used car can be difficult and expensive if the store knows that's the only color you'll take and he happens to have one in stock!

    I used to love it when I had a customer like that!
