I'm not trying to "win". The market isn't that much better. There are just a select few people carrying massive inventories now that are artificially inflating prices. They know this, and I congratulate them on their business. When there are only 10 cars on eBay and there are 3 guys with 30 cars in inventory, that's called market power.

Again, a no mile car is worth money, regardless of the color. Whether it's Tungsten or yellow or white is irrelevant. The only color that specifically makes a car worth more in any condition or state is Heritage.

The only time options make a big difference is when people are looking for extreme oddity cars. Like a no stripe, no option blue car or something. If it's just a car that has one set of wheels over the other or red calipers vs. grey, it doesn't really matter much. But if you've got a fully optioned car, the original value of the additional options generally holds up pretty well.
