Well there's some truth to that,
provided the buyer digs the color.For example, you could spend 10G's on a fancy purple metal flake paintjob.. but what you paid for the paintjob isn't going to mean jack squat to a person who just absolutely hates that color.
He's just going to grind it off and repaint it.. so the paintjob doesn't add any value in their eyes.
I mean, let's say the buyer doesn't like the rims, or the fulton sunvisor.. that's stuff he can take off and sell.. so even if the potential buyer doesn't care for those things, they can still see the potential value.
Kind of difficult to take a paint job off and sell it.
Finally, the paintjob is one of the #1 places people loose money. Even if the potential customer absolutely loves that $7,000 paintjob.. it won't add $7,000 worth of value to the truck in their eyes.
