Know if there are colour changes to the vehicle.

Any mysterious colour changes to the vehicle? A vehicle's colour has a surprisingly large difference in its resale value. Certain colour changes including gold, brown, and purple cause used vehicles to depreciate dramatically at a 41-46% rate in just three years.
