    I certainly wouldn't pay more for a particular car just because of the colour. Condition and provenance are much more important.

      IMHO Polar & RS are the preferred colours. No not more money but more likely to buy.

          I am not aware of any evidence re increased value with 'rare' colours. As always someone out there may pay over the odds for a 'rare' colour. As I have stated the RS colour is the key 'iconic' colour as all the early press reviews featured the audi press car in this colour. Performnace car had a letter from audi thanking them for their review which helped the car 'sell out' on pre order.

              Nogaro ones are more sellable.
              I have a customer that just had to have blue. He was tempted by Als cheap black one but not even that price swayed him!
              I had to agree, I would only have blue.

                  To each his own, but I considered nothing but RS blue ones. Sort of like the colour red and Ferrari.

                    everyone knows that red cars are faster

                    One thing i've learned we are way behind the Scandinavians!
