I would have to ask if that was the ONLY difference between them. For example, was on a higher trim level than the other, or perhaps driven more annually?

Also, there can be a difference between colors if, for example, it's a flat silver vs a metallic red (or blue, or silver). Basically, it's the difference in repair costs.

Almost every car I've owned has been red. I have run the comparisons on my insurance company's estimator and expect where there is a difference like above, color has made no difference in the quote
