C32 in Green/Black any good?

Hi Everyone,

I am new to the forum, thanks for your help in advance.

Currently looking to get a C32, notice a Green/black on one of the dealer's website, but they haven't yet attached any pictures.
Has anyone seen the Green/Black colour and it is any good? only black I have seen are the Obsidian Black.
Would the Green/Black hurt the resell price?

Thanks,
Windy

there are NO green C32's (unless aftermarket painted)
the only colors you will find are
silver
black
white
red
dark red (like mine)
blue

the "rare" ones are the dark red & blue, then comes red & white, then the blacks & silvers are be far the most common....

There are at least two silvers (traditional light colored silver and my personal favorite, pewter, which is a darker silver). Believe that there was also a gray. Definitely worth a web & forum search and would suggest trying to see as many as possible in person. They are all special in their own way.

There at least 3 Tectite Grey (very dark, $1600 extra cost color) that I know of. One is a frequent viewer here and just sold his. There's also one for sale at Luxury Motors in Chicago. There may be a green one out there as it could have been special order if they had enough $$$$$. Only to find out for sure is to run the VIN #. I saw a green C240 at a dealer near here, so maybe it was an option.

This is incorrect. There were green colors on the C32. One is Opal Green Metallic (very dark green/black) and, although rare, I have seen a picture of a medium green metallic. There are also multiple shades of blue, etc.

Not sure where the poster got his info.

Black Opal Pearl

I have this colour C32 and I very much like it.
In full sun it looks like a dark greeny/blue colour
In shade it looks more like a dark blue colour
At night it looks black.


It's like having a different car every time the whether changes.

Go for it, looks like a nice car !!

There must have been some major by a dyslexic tech. They put the steering wheel on the passenger's side

can you post pics of these other cars? I serached for my C32 for about 3 months and I NEVER saw any green.... Yes the black may look green, but show me where you saw this color as the main color by AMG. I have yet to see any other blues....? Maybe I am missing some, but in over 6 months I have yet to see them..

Thanks all,

Ash-c32,
This one they want 25K at MB dealer with 1yr warranty, its a 2003 53 with 12.5k miles and 1 owner, has sun roof (no sure if its optional), but no nav. Do you think it's pricey?

Thanks for you help in advance,

Kind Regards,
Windy

Seems so, try and find one with nav and tv - If your going to have one then get everything you can, be prepared for savage depreciation though

I just want to drop few pictures of the car I found...
description says Travertinbeige Metallic.
Do not know whether its factory or not...? Any idea guys?
To be honest I have never seen any C32 in this color...
