Modified car fans 'get re-sale advice'

Savvy modified car fans who know how to make savings on cheap insurance may also be aware of some tips for when it comes to trading up.

According to a Carsite.co.uk survey, bright-coloured vehicles are the most difficult to sell off.

Pink topped the list of the UK's Ten Most Undesirable Car Colours, which also included Gold, Lilac, Lime, Orange, Purple and Cherry Red.

However, the retailer's spokesperson Alistair Jeff said certain ranges will do well no matter what colour they are.

"Those who have invested in pink versions of small and funky cars like the Nissan Figaro, Ford Streetka or Mini should have no problem attracting buyers is what is a niche but popular corner of the market," he noted.

Certain celebrities may be impervious to market results as well.

Paris Hilton has been spotted in a hot-pink Bentley Continental GT, while Elton John has recently put his pink and white 1989 Rolls Royce Phantom V on sale.

According to Carsite.co.uk, the best-selling used car of the noughties was the Mazda MX-5.
