purple window

Why do the rear windshields on most Benz' I see have this purple look to them? There is no tint on the car but the back window still looks purple.

Also, what do you guys think about a 2002 CL500 with 54,000 miles for $31000?

good buy

I recently purchased a 2002 CL500 sport. w/ 53,000 miles
Keyless GO!
Heated & A/C seats
Woodgrain Wheel
Trunk Closer
Parktronic
33,000 perfect condition

31,000 for a non sport with some of these options would be a good buy.
offer 29,000 and see what happens.
What color and interior?

It's actually a radar-deflective coating, and it's on both the front and rear windshields.

I love the look, I have both my front and rear windshields tinted on my S and it looks better IMO.. plus you can't see me.
