Poll:- Any colours would put you off a second hand Cali?

[Alan]

I tried to negotiate a price on a car I wanted to buy from a dealer,his reply was can't drop the price sir this is a very sort after colour!
However when I came to trade the car in a couple of years later the spill was sorry sir that's my best offer,that colour is not very desirable

I only wanted Blackberry and I love it!!! I have black & white vans for my business and a black Range Rover as my car so wanted something that set my fun truck apart!! I've only had positive comments however it's a personal choice

I LOVR Blackberry - if I had a choice that would be it!

I wanted red but fell in love with a black van so I'm happy.

I pick my blackberry up Monday morning a week today from Liverpool carnt wait

 

[zerofour]

All Cali's come in 'safe' colours and I don't think any of them would affect actual resale value. Certain colours may take longer to sell though.

 

[motacyclist]

I've seen loads of white Calis around, wait no, they're Amazon vans...

Ah, that's why my deliveries haven't turned up. Send 'em over here please!

Been the look out for a used T6 Cali, found the perfect one, everything on the spec as I'd have from new, but....

can't live with the colour!

If you don’t like the colour to start with you won’t be happy

Maybe you could two tone it with a wrap?

What colour is it?

 

[Velma's Dad]

I don't have an aesthetic objection to white, but I think white cars (/campervans) may become harder to sell in a few years, because white been the number one 'fashion' colour for seven or eight years now. In the late eighties white was a fad for several years but a few years later you could barely give away a white car.

Globally though white is a very popular colour in hot countries, for practical reasons of course.

Something in me would like two-tone, candy apple below and white above.

 

[Meoncoast]

We owned our Candy White from 2012 to 2016 and our Blackberry from 2016 to now .

Much pefer the white.
Blackberry shows every mark always looks dirty,

Thought about the wrap, but better to wait for the right one, but frustrating!

I have the sparkling white, which looked spectacular to me that day the sun was shining.... Not too many recently....but I am amazed the difference in interior temperature on sunny days between it and other coloured vans....That makes it much more comfortable for our dogs.

Must say my other favourites are the two tone black and grey or the blackberry

 

[GrannyJen]

Tartan.

 

[Amarillo]

We buy any car dot com don't like yellow. They seem to value yellow beaches at ~£8000 less than some other colours.

I would always avoid beige and green for resale

 

[Ady77]

Blackberry is a nightmare to live with, possibly worse than black

 

[SusiBus]

I would avoid rust.

You don't get rust with California's, but roof corrosion comes as standard.

 

[SusiBus]

Blackberry is Marmite.
Saw one a few weeks ago when the sun was shining and it looked Fab...!!!

How about two- tone Blackberry and Apple Green, but not with Marmite thanks!

I would LOVE my Cali to be yellow!

 

[2into1]

Watching the Marco Polo Facebook page, they seem to have a poorer choice of colours than us. Dark brown metallic seems to be the most popular MP colour.

I would LOVE my Cali to be yellow!

It's a great colour - just don't buy one if your intention is to sell it to WBAC after a year or two.

I would have loved to have had a yellow Ocean (or orange or lime green or Granny Jen's tartan). The VW colour choices are so dull. Like others went for candy white as it can be wrapped if funds allow in future

 

[Borris]

Frankly, I don't think any of the current colours are that interesting. The few they do offer are all pretty dull! The California is supposed to be a fun leisure vehicle. Still at least they have made an effort with the two colour thing although they could be a little more adventurous there as well. IMO VW - Could do better.

If I were buying again at the moment I would probably end up choosing plain old cooking white based purely on practicality and nothing else. I've owned several VAG group cars in Candy white and they seemed to stay cleaner for longer. I wouldn't have another black car, ever, and would avoid the darker colours for the same reason. It never looked clean for more than a nano second and showed up every mark. It always amazes me why so many people go for the drug dealer look with black everything including the windows when they always look filthy.

Would not touch blackberry with a barge poll

We have a Blackberry van on our fleet and it is the most hired van, most of the time it looks black, depends upon the light. We also had a Mojave beige one which sounds an awful colour but in reality was really nice, we sold it a few months ago 18 months old almost immediately. Wouldn't buy a car in those colours but they look different on a van somehow. My advice is buy light colours as they don't show marks and scratches if you are concerned with resale values.

 

[motacyclist]

Our last van was sand beige which I felt was a bit boring. But since we sold it I think it looks quite classy now. If it had been labelled sand gold, or platinum, it would have been more appealing.
