Colors

I'm looking to buy a new C32, but I don't know which color to get. I like silver a lot, but too many people got it. What do you guys think about Pewter silver, obsidian black, opal black, capri blue and white.
Thanks.

Flex

What Color? Any Color.

Buy the one that looks bets to you! It's a matter of taste. Silver is the most common but it looks great. Black looks good too and it's number 2. Check out burgundy! What I'm trying to say is that a C32 looks great in any color. I ordered white--the only choice my wife had in the whole deal (including what car to buy!!).

I have white and love it. Most people wouldn't go for it and I wouldn't have either. But that's what sat in the showroom and now I'm glad it was.

who cares what others have..

if you like silver then, get it. Silver is beautiful and they have the best resale values. Red looks really nice but the resale on that one is not very good. Plan on keeping it for a long time if you get red or taking a beating in price. Doesnt mean you shouldnt get it. They are stunning and if you look on the C32life forum you will see a beautiful Magma red version. I dont remember seeing it on this pic thread.

I just saw a pewter silver C32 at the MB dealer here in Tucson. It is a very sharp colour. It just had the basic accessories - no Teleaid or Command. But, regarding colour - I really liked the pewter silver. Black/Obsidian is probably my first choice though.

Just keep in mind that black is the hardest color to keep pristine. You may not care if your car looks like it has dirt on it or it has swirl marks and scratches all over it. I however do, and therefore I keep maintenance high on my list of priorities.

My C32 is Brilliant Silver Metallic with the blue leather inserts. I also like the black. Since this was my first Mercedes-Benz I decide to go with the Brilliant Silver Metallic for the exterior color since I felt that this color was to a Mercedes Benz what British racing green is to Jaguar, yellow is to Lamborghini, and red is to Ferrari.

If you select the color you like you should not regret it!
