I've had 5 black cars, including my last two. So your myth has been debunked.

I love black cars ... they are so great looking when clean and I like to keep my cars clean. In just Mercedes alone, I have had 7 black ... a few silver, a few white, an alu-beam, a blue, a couple champagne ... but I love black the best.

you guys are a rare breed!!! I actually like black cars just the swirls and constant attention to keep it clean, I shy away usually... That said before my white s550 I tried to buy a friends black on black s550 amg.It was just like a new car and had almost no miles. .. I offered him 1k over kbb book value he declined looking back im glad he did.

No swirl marks on my black car....and it's 9 years old. I bet WHPH28's car doesn't have any swirls either, as well as many other meticulously maintained black cars on this board. Black is by far the most beautiful color on a car when it's clean and shiny. But white is definitely easier to keep looking clean.

All large luxury cars look best in black, including BMW, Audi, Lexus, etc. There's just something stately and imposing about the color black on a large car.

I find it interesting that black is the hardest exterior color to keep looking clean, yet is the easiest interior color to keep looking clean and shows the least wear.

Damn Dave u really going in on us tighty whiteys
