Need advice re: designo classic red interior on CLS63

Came close to buying one yesterday (iridium silver ext) but backed off when they wouldn't budge on price.

Do you think the resale value will be higher or lower having red seats?

(It's much brighter red than what the photo shows)

Red seats are always popular plus, if it's rare, I say more valuable. You're lucky to find designo interior in a dealership backyard in the US. Here, it's only on special order which add many months to a already long wait.

Those are really nice. There needs to be some play in the price - 5-7K or so.

I prefer red interior in any car I buy.

FF. W212 E63 M156 non-pano 18" P2 ParkT NightV (gone but will be missed).
It wouldn't affect anything if I were in the market for a used one.

2013 Red Mercedes Benz C63 AMG Black Series
CLS

In my opinion, it would only work with a black exterior. I think it would de-value the car overall.

I'm not sure it will effect resale value that much either way. I personally like red interiors but if I was buying a car used I'd be deciding which car to get on a bunch of other factors that were more important than interior color.
