I wouldn't bank your future on it. I guess you'll need to find a site that keeps track of that sort of thing and do the research. Even IF it were true, you'd have to find a pretty hard-core mkIV VW lover to realize even a small increase in sale price. And the car would also need to be in tip top condition. Is it? And are you lookin' to sell it. |

My anecdotal evidence is that Mojave Beige is an unusual color for GTIs and Jetta wagons. I would hesitate to use "rare" but maybe that's just me.
I agree on not banking on it having a premium. My observation has been whether or not a color is a one-year, one-car specific color -- for example, Cinnabar on a '96 Cabrio or River Blue on a '79 Super Beetle convertible. Mojave Beige was very common on a Passat, as my '02 Passat was that color.
That said, I think the color does look better than most -- especially (and ironically enough) on a GTI or a Jetta wagon. I would more strongly consider a Jetta wagon (or GTI if I were in the market for one) in Mojave Beige. The opposite is true for me with Reflex Silver. In that sense, I guess there is a personal premium I would attach -- but I'm not sure I could say unequivocally a specific dollar amount. It would be on a car-by-car basis.
Again, that's me. VW sold an awful lot of Reflex Silver vehicles for a reason. _________________ Now: 2003 New Beetle Turbo S / 1990 Single Cab Transporter / 2014 Tiguan R-Line 4motion / 2013 Tiguan S / 2002 Golf GLS TDI
