love this color...

 

Yes MB did offer this color for a short period I believe. Also, if I am not wrong the cost is about $1K for this color. It's nice but I wont pay that much if I were to buy the car new. Just my .02cents

 

i think that color looks sick. it would look even nicer if they had the 65AMG rims or other rims of a similar color, like gunmetal or something

 

wow, that color is beautiful

 

Nice color, similar to Dolphin gray which was available on the early S4 V8s. That's the color I was considering for an S4, before I bought the C32.

 

Damn that looks good. Did they ever have that for the C55s?

 

I believe the color is called tectite grey metallic and it;s more common on the s class and cl class. It was a $1000 option. I have seen about 3 or 4 2002's made in that color and they all had 50K miles and up. I would have bought one if I could find one that had was 2003 and up, but no luck so i settled on black. The one color i had my heart set on was the Orion Blue C32 with the blue inserts. I'm pissed i let that one get away.

 

Hey guys yup its called Tectite Grey and I picked an 02 C32 in that colour from Cali just recently. The colur was actually more of a $2000 option. It has green undertones. Its AMAZING....

The best part is it has only 31000miles on it and the extended 4 year waranty till 2010.

-clear side light covers
-2004 OEM lights
-H&R springs and sway bar.

 

Forgot to mention.. Tectite Grey Metallic was only available on the 2002 models. Flint Grey replaced it.

 

Tectite was a no cost color option on the 2003 and I think to 2005 E 500s. The original 2003 E 500 I ordered was Tectite but before it arrived I switched to an S Class. They couldn't find me an S in Tectite with a black interior and the right equipment so I took black. If they did it was an $1,100 special order option on the S class. I wish it were still available.

 

does anyone know how many C32's were made in this color?

 

HUmm that is a great question.. For C32, that colour was only an option for the 2002 models. So only a portion of all 2002 C32 made...which I don't know..lol...

The car is rare as it is and with a rare colour such as that I am sure a very small portion.

BUT if u really wanted that colour on a new AMG model.Say C63.. hahaha. I am sure u could special order it.. Lets face it for the right price u can get any option.

MOney talks baby...

 

Nice color for a C32 - but that one on eBay is overpriced by a bit.

 

There were 4 or 5 Tectite grey C32s for sale last spring when I was looking. Alomst bought one from a guy in Southern Cali that had BBS LM's and Renntech springs. Luxery Motors in Chicago had two of them at the same time but there was no way I was buying a car from them based on their reputation.

 

Hey Steve I bought that one from South Cali. except for the BBS LM rims. They were beat to S####. Got a great price and negotiated an additional set of stock c32 rims and tires.

You were not the one that was pissed cause I did not give a deposite.. Deal was agreed with a handshake.. LOL

The guy really cared for his car and gave me so many additional things including the 4 year extended warranty. LOW MILES too.. wow.. Whats really cool is the illuminated AMG door panels.. That always gets me.

The funny thing about this colour is that it never stays consistant which is soo amazing. When the sun is out it is a sweet grey.. when its cloudy it shows more olive/grey and in the night almost a light black.

No hard feelings.. hey I am sure u have a sweet ride anyway...

 

i've got this exact same car, same options, same color in so cal as well...

 

2002 C32 - Tectite Grey and Orion Blue were both $1600 special order options.

2003 C32 they became a no cost option.

2004 C32 Tectite Grey is discontinued on the C-class and replaced it with Pewter Silver.

 

interesting...thanks for the info as always frank!

 

no problem-o

if it wasn't a special order color back in 02 I would've gotten the Tectite...:cry:

 

Wow - someone else almost got burned by Luxury Motors. They're horrible! I almost bought an '02 with 41K on it, but it just didn't feel right. I had it checked out and it was a total POS. Stay away from them at all costs!

It's unfortunate, because they just listed one in Orion Blue - it's a good thing I already got mine, those guys are charlatans.

 

No hard feelings at all. Glad it ended up in a good home. I ended up getting an '06 C230 as I could not justify putting 20k miles a year on a C32 with gas prices what they are, plus the potential cost of repairs.

Although I like the C230 a lot I do miss the hp that you get to enjoy!!!

 

I figured u had a sweet ride as it is.

Ya my C32 is only for summer driving. There is no way I would allow it to hit a Canadian winter.. except maybe in British Columbia. I got it with 28 000miles and storing it for the winter with 31 000miles.

My couisn has a C230 with the sport package. It is sweet..

 

Will get some pics of my Tectite C32 up and running soon..

 

love that color

 

Hope this works.. a pic of my Tectite Grey before winter storage..
