How important is color in your vehicle choice?

[00Sebby]

To me, color is as key as any other feature of the vehicle. I will not buy a vehicle that is not optioned exactly like I want. When I bought my JLUR, I entered all the options I wanted including color. At the time, out of almost 1500 2020 JLs within a 300 mile search radius on the Jeep website, there was only one exact match available. I bought it in-route to the dealer from the factory. If it wasn't available, I would have ordered it.

Color #1

technically, everything else can be added (not always true or easy of course), but outside of a wrap, the color is likely never changing.

It is the only reason I placed a factory order. For whatever reason, there are very few Firecrackers with a black hardtop, proximity entry, and tow package optioned together by the dealers in CA.

Selection process for me:

1. Decide model of vehicle I want
2. Choose color
3. Non-negotiable options (usually not many, also not over-optioned).

I'm not buying until Sarge Green is available.

I want the V6/auto and NOT with leather interior, so ordering is essentially where I am.

Color was as important as price and distance when I was shopping. That being said, I really wanted mojito but ended up with black.

I drove several hours away to get the color combo that I wanted. I think that it was the right decision.

For a good deal, I can forgo color choice.

I'm shopping for my Jeep and one of the things that always comes up is color. You always see Black, White, Silver, and Grey as the most common options, with a lot less of the fun colors. Now I'm searching for a used vehicle so this applies more to a used vehicle where you can't just pick your desired color. Though I suppose it applies to new where maybe the color it totally out of stock(RIP Mojito). I'm curious what you all think about color selection: if the Jeep you're looking at has all the right choices, but the color isn't necessarily on your list, do you go for it?

For example: I was on the lookout for something fun, but I'm open, and found a Jeep I'm interested in that is Granite. While it's not my first choice, the price is right and it has all the features I'm interested in. Plus there is nothing a quick wrap or some decals can't change for a splash of color!

So what say you JL nation, how important is color to your vehicle selection?

Nope if the color wasn't right no deal even with all the options. In April when we traded my black 07 JK I knew what I wanted in a JLU and if the color was a certain color, no deal.

Very important to me. My wife say's I want that color then it kicks in: If Mama be happy, I be happy!

A Wrangler is a fun vehicle, so color generally matters more than if you are buying a commuter to get from Point A to Point B. Its also easy to order to get exactly what you want. I am willing to pay more to get the color I want (within reason). But there are also certain options I want also. I wanted the Mojito, so that is what I ordered. But had it not been available, I could have pretty easily done with most of the other colors. Only colors I really didn't want when I ordered were black (too hard to keep clean) and Sting Gray (reminded me of Navy ships - Haze Gray, I had enough of that years ago).

I am fairly open when it comes to colors but I've always wanted a green Jeep so this time around color was important. in 2014 with my JK there was no green so I was fairly open color wise(ended up buying Anvil). If I ever do buy a new JL again I imagine I'll try to find something on the lot to avoid waiting on an order and not being picky with the color.

Colour is not all that important to me, it was more about the options and price. I wanted a bare bones 2dr soft top with 6sp, but conceded to the 8sp auto they had in stock for a good price. It was "Canadian Winter Camo", but had it been "Up Yours Orange" or "Arrest Me Red", I probably would have been okay with it. That being said, I do like the rather bland white and there's not many of them around.
