I like the color...looking at a 2011 Cayman S - speed yellow with black wheels. it looks really cool. No I do't care what others think of my car, but what I do know and care about is that I get bored with cars pretty quick. A low mileage Cayman S has been on the list for a while and now i have a chance but the damn thing is speed yellow. Knowing how bored I get quickly (longest i have kept a car is a year. i want to try them all!), I am concerned that resale will be a real problem.

I know it is a rare color for these cars. It is bad ass looking, it is low mile and well kept up and i would do the same...BUT its speed yellow.

Anyone have any issues selling a speed yellow car? Did you have to price it accordingly because of the color? Did you get beat up on or beat someone up (while maybe buying your speed yellow car) while buying or selling one?

Interior is black. Speedo, etc gauges are yellow, factory yellow painted trim on inside. Its cool, but...

Thoughts, comments, suggestions, emotional outbursts? Hey at least it doesnt have an IMS bearing to discuss!

Thanks everyone
