Hadn't thought of it that way...

A lot of these new so-called "blacks" are charcoal/metallic/murky stuff that looks like burnt motor oil. I do like pure shiny old-fashioned black as on a 1964 Eldorado droptop. Yes, the pure patent-leather shoeshine blacks. Your a/c will get more of a workout in July and August though.
White colored vehicles are also harder to see in the snow after a blizzard. That's why I seldom have ever had a white one.
When I bought our Caravan I looked at two almost identical vans, one was a dark blue the other was white. This was in December, opened the door on the dark colored one and was hit in the face by a shot of superheated hot air. I bought the white one.
Just picked up my wife's 2011 Toyota Highlander from the shop . . . the oil coolant line decided to spring a leak as she was on her way home Monday evening. It's got like 183000 miles on it and has been a great car, but I'm leaning towards replacing it with a newer one. Sigh.

I had a 1980 Toyota Corolla in that Bright Yellow with heavily tinted windows. First (and only) new car I ever bought. Totally stripped. No a/c, vinyl seats, no radio. IIRC, price was just under $5K.
This article is about depreciation in Mexico, lol.
Is this a fair market price for this 2015 Toyota Prerunner Tacoma truck? I figure a non-beater used Toyota pickup is about $15K+ these days.

You mean famous reliable Toyota products don't have greater longevity than that?

Considering that's the only thing I've had to have repaired other than some body work I'll take it as a win . . .
