is there value in the color of the interior? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was talking today with a friend about his Yukon. He said he is having trouble selling it because people hate his maroon interior. He said people want grey, beige, and then blue. But none for the maroon. He said he's finding it about 1 grand less when compared to the others for sale in other colors. Sad....mileage is low and condition is prime. Is this common?

I would say there is no difference in value. You just have to find someone that likes the color, but that's no different than the exterior color either. I myself would actually be willing to pay a little more for a maroon interior, just because I like it.

color is a factor I only bought my 90 burb because it had grey interior
with a front bench (alittle harder to find)

I think it has a lot to do with it. I mean I can only speak for myself, but I strongly dislike maroon interior, atleast 99% of the time anyway.
But like much of the time, you just gotta find the right buyer.

Well sure it has a lot to do with it, but only based on each individual buyer. Unless you can say that over half of the general public doesn't like a maroon interior, then color doesn't degrade the value at all. Now if your talking about colors like pink, orange, light green, etc, then it's a different story.

i agree, i dislike maroon, only cuz my elky has it, and i want her orange, but dont wntto change interior, which is why i despise(sp?) it, lol

Agreed. I'll avoid a red interior. He'll have to find a buyer who digs it.

If the price is right i would dye it all whatever color i liked.But i hate maroon and blue i have owned too many g bodies tho.A grey or around that color most are use to in the newer cars.

personally i cant stand that maroon color, plus here in az the darker the interior color the hotter the car gets! so it might have some affect on the resale but not very much i would think!
