How common is it ?

You can usually get a bigger discount on yellow cars as they are harder to sell.

 

I have a speed yellow 2006 C4 and love it. When the dealer called to describe it I cringed at yellow, but said I'd take a look. Never thought I would own a yellow car, but I get compliments all the time. Took it to the Brumos Driving Experience and even Hurley Haywood commented on how much he loved it. I've been very surprised by how well it doesn't show dirt. Looks pretty clean even when it isn't.

 

congrats , you'll love it

 

I've heard this rumor, but I am not sure it applies to TTs.

When I was buying my car I had to actually pay a premium because it was pretty rare among the sea of black/red/gray TTs out there. I found maybe one speed yellow car per month that even came close to my mileage/year/options criteria.

At the moment, there is only one speed yellow 997.1 TT manual coupe with sport chrono for sale on ebay and autotrader.

 

I agree, I looked for 2 years to find a SY Turbo manual with low miles. They are pretty hard to find in the sea of silver and black cars. I love it!

 

Happy wife happy life! But sounds like your not feeling it so pass, every time you drive it you will be subconscious about it

What's your color choice that you prefer?

 

It's def a love it of hate it kinda color & seem to work well on really nice really rare cars .

 

Last time I bought a car with an auto trans to "benefit" the wife (SMG), she never drove the car anyway. Next two cars were 6 speed. I love speed yellow, almost as much as guards red. In a sea of many cars with too many miles, too few miles, wrong options, badly modded, over priced, etc. color becomes a compromise in finding the right car within a decent period of time. Hope something will fall into your hands. Good luck!

 

Thanks for everyones input..thought about it,and will pass on this one..will continue to look in my area.
