I'd have thought the second owner would be the one to wrap it, get the colour you want then.
Works the same for everyone. If you’re buying new it means you can get a stock vehicle & change it to any colour you want. If you want a really unusual custom colour it won’t devalue it as you can just take it off & put it back to a standard one.

Yes, I suppose so. Never having bought a brand new vehicle I didn't think of it like that!

You’re not alone. Last new car on our farm was 1982 when I was born 🤣 A friend set up a business wrapping & tinting so learnt a bit from him. Got out after a while as so many ended up doing it & went back to selling. He’s not got a bad view from his office if you’re in to that sort of thing

I sort of get it for certain cars and it makes sense in a truck fleet but paying good money to buy a new car then spending more to wrap it so its mint for the next owner seems a bit daft.
The issue i had was the colour choices offered on that model was horrendous, white, black, silver or brown. None of which took my liking, not bothered about the paintwork underneath, just wanted a colour i liked

Hope it serves you well. Am I right in saying you used to be green, at least a while ago? Does it have the steering wheel screen thingy? And if so do you see the sense in it🤔

Up until 2014 it was all deeres here, down to only 1 main tractor being a deere now. This one isn't new so before the steering wheel screen was an option, but no I can't see the point in it.
