What can I do if I regret my color choice?
Long-time reader, but first post.
I got white 350 because it's what they had on the lot. I really wish I had gotten black. Now have 5k on the white. How much of a hit would I take to trade? Any ideas? Thanks.

i did this many times
i have trading in my many cars because i was unhappy with my color choice. First time, back in 2000 when i picked up my first brand new prelude sh. I bought the car for 27,000 ended up selling for around 20,000 with about 13,000 miles. Then i went and bought the s2000 for around 36,000 didn't like that i got the yellow s2000 so i treaded it in with about 6,000 miles for a silver s2000. Got 25,000 for my car and got a brand new one for 32,000 during the trade. I ended up loosing about 13,000 or so on the trade from prelude to s2000 to s2000. It wasn't worth it. Hope that helps you. By the way, i own a black 2is now with about 5,000 wanna trade, i want the white. LOL but seriously it is a waste of money, but if you can offered to then go ahead.

I do wash my car once every two weeks. I don't know if that's enough to keep a black car clean here in so cal.

Paint it!
The hi tech shops that are using Toyota/Lexus OEM material in KC will charge $2500, which is a smaller hit than a trade in with the instant $4,000-$5,000 depreciation that you'd encounter on a trade.

whatever color the car happens to be, when youre sitting inside and driving (which is what you bought the car to do), they'll both look the same inside ! be happy with what you have. in life one needs to be content with what they have otherwise it translates into being unhappy and miserable at all times . after 3 years u can always switch to a diferent color, for now why not enjoy what you bought ?

I choose GFM over CW, because I thought that GFM would be more rare... at the time, it was. Then Pohanka ordered 10GFM cars. I see them all the time now. Friggin heck.
I should Have bought CW.
