I recently found this forum and it is great. There seems to be a lot of very well informed folks on here. I was wondering if anyone has pictures of their 2005 c230k sport sedan in Bordeaux Red Metallic. Thanks in advance.

i think ive only seen about 5 bordeaux red sedans total. not many out there. im sure youll find a pic here though.

did you check the picture thread, on the top of the thread list. thats where we show off our cars, or try doing a search.

Citron and Noble I thank you for such a quick reply. I am getting ready to order my first Mercedes (05 c230k sedan) and my biggest decision is the "color".

CitronC230K_03

bordeaux is a good choice. anything that isnt too common is a great choice IMO. stray away from black and especially silver since they are EVERYWHERE!!!

Guest0001

Why stay away, Silver and black are default MB colors. Btw silver mercedes looks the best.

Dave order exactly waht you want take our opinions with a grain of salt.

CitronC230K_03

its just my opinion. then again i drive a car the color which ive been told looks like: baby diareha, guacamole, throw up, also ive been told its the best color they've seen on a mercedes.

do take our opinion with a grain of salt.

im not saying the black or silver look bad, there are just soooooo many out there. its nice to see people get adventurous when it comes to the color of their car.

you must be a liberal Citron

CitronC230K_03

is it that obvious? :p

My benz is this color... had it since 2001. Its cool, but sometimes, I wish I had the silver one. Pretty hard to keep clean. I remember when I had a silver car, and I didn't wash it much. haha Someone a while back said to me, A coin color car is really hot. wink wink

CitronC230K_03

citron never seems to look dirty just like silver can appear. black is soo hard to keep clean. i like the low maintenance of citron. i still wash my car alot, but its nice that it never seems excessively dirty.

Black is the biggest pain in the a$$

But i love it :p

CitronC230K_03

i owned one black car, ill never own another.

agreed when they are clean they look awesome, but too much work to maintain that look.

Guest0001

really I want own a black car badly. Why is it that you want what you cant have

yeah, black does suck to keep clean, especially here in FL where it rains almost every afternoon in the summer rainy season, so all the water spots show up. that wouldn't be so horrible if mercedes brakes didn't quickly emit so much thick, extremely black brake dust either haha. my car goes on average about 3 days staying extremely clean....by the 3rd and 4th day, i have to clean up the brake dust off of the wheels, and by the 5th day it's looking like it definitely needs another wash with the waterspots and bugs everywhere. but it's so worth it after i wash it and it just glistens and shines; black is definitely the best looking color when clean. i'll definitely consider black again for the next car i'm getting, but i'll probably get something different to be different.

CitronC230K_03

honestly, id talk to a few people who own black. it really is a high maintenance color, plus every little swirl shows.
