A quick google search shows that yellow has a high, if not the highest, resale value of any color. It takes longer to sell but gets a higher value. But I definitely the right thing to do is buy what you want and enjoy it.

5 car colors that help resale value
Yellow is one of five colors associated with below-average depreciation in the first three years of ownership:

  • Yellow: 27 percent depreciation
  • Orange: 30.6 percent
  • Green: 30.9 percent
  • White: 32.6 percent
  • Red: 32.7 percent
Yellow as well as orange and green are uncommon car colors — collectively comprising only 1.2 percent of all three-year-old cars. Phong Ly, CEO of iSeeCars.com, notes this could contribute to demand and thus help cars of these three colors maintain their value.

Even popular body styles have below-average depreciation rates among yellow vehicles. For example, in the first three years of ownership:

  • Yellow SUVs depreciate by an average of only 25.8 percent — compared with 30.9 percent for all SUVs.
  • Yellow pickup trucks depreciate by an average of only 10.8 percent — compared with 20.9 percent for all pickup trucks.
8 car colors that hurt resale value
Gold is one of eight colors associated with above-average depreciation in the first three years of ownership:

  • Gold: 37.1 percent depreciation
  • Purple: 36.7 percent
  • Beige: 36.6 percent
  • Silver: 34 percent
  • Black: 33.6 percent
  • Gray: 33.5 percent
  • Brown: 33.5 percent
  • Blue: 33.5 percent

Thanks man. See, Hellayella jeeps will sell.
I would order one if I was ordering again. It’s grown on me. Same with Bikini.
I had a dream a few weeks ago that my Jeep finally arrived but it was yellow. I didn’t order yellow and I sent it back. Lol.

I haven’t seen the OP post anything. He should check out this data and rest easy.

I wouldn't buy just any car in orange, but couldn't be happier with my custom ordered Punk'n - that color is just spot on :involve: I still need to see the first Punk'n besides mine :)

I was looking at Punkn, but it seemed more red than orange. I don't know why they didn't have the Nacho color out for that long. I don't think Nacho was even in their build configurator. After seeing HellaYella in person, I was sold. It's not that bright yellow as I thought it would be. It's got a little orangish tint to it. And people love it in person.

I've been considering yellow, but in the end went for orange. Yellow is cool too (for a Wrangler) :rock:

Can I ask where you got the hood outline stripe?

C
It's part of AEV's JL370 package. But you can get that done at any body shop that does vinyl wraps.

I don't think I've ever bought a car based on how much I could sell it for later, I just buy for what I want. From what I've seen a lot here trade in and upgrade pretty regularly, where I like to keep something until it falls apart, so different train of thinking I guess.

I never expected I would want a yellow vehicle of all things, but when I got deadset on a Jeep, yellow was the most fitting to me!

Funny.. I traded my Baja Yellow JKU in when I ordered my HellaYella JLUR and the dealer said something along the lines of the yellow JK will probaby sit on the lot for a while because of the color. Long story short, it sold within the week.
