If you really aren't picky personally about the color, don't buy rare, buy common. Buy the color most people prefer. At the end of the day, you can ask more money because you'll have an easier time finding a buyer. Rare is when you want a specific color, and aren't bugged by the fact you'll have a tougher time trying to sell it.
I really prefer ocean blue with grey interior, although I know when I sell it everyone will be asking why it turns purplish in sunlight:P *sigh* the price I pay...

but people may want something rare, and something that not many people have, if they wanted common they would get a silver honda civic.
porsche is a porsche, if you want to be like everyone else out there you buy black or silver, and put those carrera wheels on it and blend right in

You wanna see rare? This is rare...
You see, rare doesn't necessarily mean good.

That's a coloring job that would make Ted Turner proud.

Yikes, that Enzo is hurting my eyes. When I close them I can see the image burned into my retinas.
I'd have to say I see tons of Porsches in silver and black. Do a search on eBay and you'll see the vast majority are those monochromatic colors.
I've only seen Boxsters the same color as mine on the internet. There are two guys in this board with the dark green exterior. I'd say that's rare... but not as rare as DJ's.

Here's the million dollar question :
If someone gave you that Enzo on the condition that you could not repaint it, would you drive it ?
I don't know if I could

I would drive an Enzo no matter what colour it is.
And i may be the minority, but i think that looks sweet, Black rims would work well.

I am in complete agreement, but then my new Box is arctic silver with Boxster red interior, too.
I would rather have had seal gray with the red, but my silver one has many other things that made the color (colour?) more acceptable.

I knew you could get a pink Cadillac if you sold enough Mary Kay stuff, but I didn't know you could get an Enzo.

to me rare means ugly lol no offense to anyone who thinks they have a "rare" car... i would never pay a premium to drive a pink or lime green car... i would drive the cars if someone gave them to me for free or fairly cheap but i dont see why anyone would pay extra.

Ducatis come in two colors. GT3s come in one. Desire for rarity in type and color seem to be two very different things. When I think of buying a Civic, I think of buying it in whatever color I want. When I think of buying a 911 Turbo, I think of buying a 911 turbo, whatever color it happens to be.
Although I'll admit, I yearn for a Midnight Blue Ducati
