Just wondering really.
I'm looking for a s/h T180, and was hoping for a blue of one shade or another. However, the majority of the T180 for sale are yew green. I know it's an exclusive colour for the T180, but how many have actually got this colour? There is one blue within a reasonable distance from me, but it's priced £1k more than all the other local (yew green) T180s. When I spoke to the dealer, he seemed to justify it by saying no-one wants a green car, and that's why there are so many green ones for sale!! So is green really that popular? (I suspect that the dealer was just talking a load of bull!!)

Mine is Silver, always looks clean and will hold its price better.

erm, what's that got to do with colour???
Anyway, I've solved my colour problem. I've just placed an order for a brand new slate blue T180
Thanks to everyone who have answered my questions over the last few weeks.
Should be here in about 2 weeks, so prepare for more questions
