Used black cars for sale

It is, and it often looks quite classy, but black paint is almost always a cost option, and it can be hard to keep clean. 

There’s no simple answer to this, but it’s something of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Partly it comes from the fact that, traditionally, a lustrous black paint finish was an expensive thing to create, and so was reserved for more expensive models. Black is also a discreet, unshowy colour and so that has its own connotations of powerful people not needing to make a dramatic statement with a bolder colour. There are also links to other classy black items, such as grand pianos or tuxedos.

Black paint, at least a good, deep, metallic black paint, won’t be cheap, and can be one of the more expensive paint options. It also tends to disguise the lines of your car, which can make it blend in more in traffic and car parks. Black is generally easy to keep clean, but it does tend to show up dusty marks and bird droppings more than other colours. 

There is a theory that black cars hold their values better than other colour options, not least because of the old adage of ‘black goes with everything’ but there’s little proof of this in the market.
