whats your choice - Sapphire blue or jet black or red?

What kind of discounts can one expect on new TT in the toronto area if any? And which dealer is best for discount or best service?

Ive been trying to find a local sapphire blue 911 to see the color in person.
I like S blue w black interior or jet black with black Bordeaux interior.
It's real toss up.
I've never had a black car. Hear its a love hate proposition. Looks amazing clean...but doesn't stay clean long.
S blue would be a unique color.
Anyone on here pls share your experience with either.
Which would be a better resale if God forbide I had to sell?

I like the Sapphire Blue. I'd get it with the Graphite/Chalk two-tone interior or the Black/Bordeaux interior. That's the way to go.

Black is only cool when it's clean, and not really a motorsport color IMO. Plus Black cars are a goldmine for your detailer because they get swirls so easily. I had one black car, and got rid of it because I got fed up with having to have it constantly detailed.

Just curious was yours the metallic black? Suppose to be easier.
And were you meticulous with the wash procedure?
Its quite the process. 2 buckets and proper wash mits etc.

I have Jet Black and had to do a complete paint correction to get it looking
good. Paint from factory had lots of scratches.

Been using Griots products.....their spray on car wash (no water) with quality microfibre
has cut down the 2 bucket method to just about nothing....no fine scratches like soap mitt & water.

Yes and yes. I used 2 buckets, foam gun. The problem is not just washing it. I also had nano ceramic CQuartz coating.

People brush against your car in a parking lot. Leaves falling from trees in the fall scrape the paint when you are driving.

People pretends it doesn't mar if you treat it right. I say it always does it just depends on how good an eye you have.

Is it similar to guards red? Darker red?
Would it be more suitable for a GT3?

Yeah very nice. That's a blue chrome wrap I suspect. What I find with that type of finish is it always looks great in photos, but after a couple of months it will look **** up close in person.
