This says purple is worse. However, the real reason to avoid a gold car like the plague is that it is considered a lucky color for the Chinese, who are categorically the worst drivers on the road. I learned this firsthand while living in Rosemead, CA. In that region, it was well known that Chinese homebuyers without much cash would buy their first home in El Monte, which is obviously a shlthole. Then, your next step was Rosemead, where prices went up by 50%. If you moved there, you probably had auto insurance. The next step was nearby Temple City, (which was a cool million way back in 2012), and the final step was to buy a home in Arcadia or San Marino, where the current median home price is $2.6M. Everybody in the San Gabriel Valley avoided buying gold cars smelling of kimchi & whiskey; because they had zero maintenance, been run into curbs, over speedbumps, and against parking lot walls.

No worries on resale value here. Going to keep this thing forever, when the bedliner eventually fades I'll redo it in another color.
WOW !!! This guy's purple.... really got your shorts up your crack. @mprice1234 It's just an ugly color. It is not like he went and through a lift on it and some 22s.

No shorts up the crack, just posted the resale value color chart because I thought it was interesting to see them ranked. I do think purple is god awfully ugly and hate to see a good Raptor abused like that, but to each his own.

It really does make me laugh how much some people care what others do to their vehicle. I would also be willing to bet this purple raptor has alot more time off road than most. Most people complaining about the bedliner probably have garage queens.

Thank you for the welcome sir. I did the color for my daughters gender reveal a little over 2 years ago. Not my first choice, but it turned our great if you ask me.
OUCH!!!! only if you knew.
