Default Which color is better

ok i have a question im having a hard time deciding which color to get the 350z in Theirs a silver version at a delearship five minutes from my house or i could get a red one but they have to bring it from chicago and they said it might have some miles on it since they have to bring it to the delearship. What color would you go for if u had to choose between red or silver my parents think the silver is more of lexuary look while i the red is more of a sport look which one do u think i should go for the silver = 0miles or the RED = dunno how many miles but a few on it and maybe a little $ since they have to bring it to Indiana.

Sliver , Red will cost you more in the long run.(Insurance, Paint Repairs), but red is a very nice color. (let me clarify)All tho is not a standard practice some Autobody repair shop would like you to believe red paint is a hard mixture(costing you more), Also red stands out of a crowd if driving with a lead foot. Same with some insurance co. call around you may get different quotes depending on color. I personaly believe it's BS.

Lightbulb Silver...

but only because I have SS and love it.

Side note...colour does not impact insurance rates, rating or premium. This has been my underwriting thought of the day.

Finally, yes, that's the way we spell colour.

Good luck with the buy.

Ps. You're going to need decals

I agree. Your question should have been: which colour will help me to improve my communications skills? The answer would be that you are a fool to think that is a factor in improving your writing.

If you're a detailer (because i am),
you'll appreciate that red color, claybarred,polished and a nice coat of wax...that thing looks so awesome

as for silver to me, its a lazy mans color ;] whatever you do to it, it'lll look the same, (no offense)

maybe if it was that darker silver they brought out.

it seems that the every 350z I see on the road is silver. I personally am not a fan of red cars (save Ferrari), however, i think i'd opt for the red one over silver due to every other car on the road today is a different shade of silver.

Geez, why do you want a bunch of strangers to pick a color for you?
Ask your parents again. They think the silver is more of a "lexuary look " to quote your post. No offense, but are you getting this car because of your academic achievements? Sorry, I just couldn't help myself.
