    I debating between a yellow and black interior and a roso corso with tan interior with cuio piping and stitching. I really prefer the yellow but I'm scared to death about resale. Is yellow a no no. In a Lambo yellow is the most desirable. Help! I can get a black black but have to pay a hefty premium for it though. I need opinions to make sure that I don't do anything stupid. Thanks for the input.

    Buy what you like. Don't get too hung up on resale. If you are buying it as an investment you are making a mistake.

    Best resale value's or I should say the fastest selling colors that most people want:

    1. Red
    2. Yellow
    3. Black

    Now add the most options or the must haves for resale value and fastest sales time:

    1. Shields
    2. Daytonas
    3. Rear grill's
    4. complete records
    5. tools
    5. RED KEY FOB (pin code on the 430's)


    I have found that F1 and 3 pedel cars make no diffrence for me, on the secondary markets most are buying to drive so they are open to both pedels..So If I add the 3 colors with options I have listed, I have a better time selling!

    WATCH OUT FOR YELLOW......My yellow/black car sold the first day the dealer displayed it!!!!
    I'd do yellow again. I loved the color but not knowing when my turn would happen on the F430 replacement, I opted for the Red/Tan. Having had red sports cars since the mid 80's, I knew I'd not tire of the red.

    My yellow F430 drew more attention than my red F430.

    No idea about resale, but who cares? If you are worried that much about resale, you should probably not be buying. Prepare to lose money, as it's a depreciating asset.

    Buy what you like best. If yellow is your favorite, get it.

    if you look on ebay, autotrader, and cars.com, it appears that the silver ones are the most abundant and slowest selling cars.. the reds are in most demand, followed by the black and THEN the yellow.

    yellow is very flashy and loud and does not sit well with everybody.
    personally i like the yellow but for resale red or black strongly preferred.

    as im buying for a ferrari as we speak, i could care less about resale... im gonna get the one that sweeps me off my feet.

    Forget what others think or feel about colors, buy the one that excites that driving passion within!

    Yellow is HOTTTT!
    Having said that,I ordered White Scuderia (many people warned me that it would have terrible resale but what the heck,I get it for my own enjoyment not some future owner(if I ever decide to sell it ,that is)).

    I can't imagine any 'Scud' having a problem on re-sale no matter what color ordered!!
