As the festive season is approaching people are putting up their boots to welcome their new car. While there is no denying to the fact that the colour black is hands down the most beautiful and classy looking colour on a vehicle but there are factors too that must be considered before bringing home a black beauty. Some people avoid black colour on their vehicle because of their spiritual beliefs but that’s not all.

Here are the factors one must look at before taking home a black beauty.

Hot as hell

This is something that doesn’t need any lengthy explanation. The colour black is infamous for its thermal properties. This is because a black vehicle will absorb the sun’s heat to the greatest extent when compared to other light colours. This can be very painful and annoying during the summer season.

Maintenance Cost

The moment you get a black car home, be ready to spend a handsome amount on maintaining the beauty of your vehicle. This is because the colour black demands the highest maintenance amongst all the colours. From scratches to swirl marks, almost everything can easily manifest over the black base, evidently visible every time you take your vehicle out. A Black car shows dirt, dust and water marks more easily requiring frequent cleaning.

Degrading Interiors

The excessive heat absorption can also cause the interiors of the car to degrade faster, especially if the car is in the contact of sunlight regularly and for a long durations.

Resale Value

Due to high maintenance cost and visible scratches and swirl marks some buyers might avoid buying a black colour car. Also due to some spiritual beliefs of people they might not consider a black colour car.

Visibility Issues

Black cars are comparitively less visible at nights, low light conditions, and foggy weather and this increases the risk of accidents.

Priced Higher than usual

Black vehicles are often pitched as special editions, dark editions, night editions etc. by several automakers. This means that to bring home a black car, you will generally be required to pay more than usual. If you are looking for a pocket friendly deal than black might not be the colour for you.
