Personally I would choose your car based on the engine first and the color second....

hmm im pretty sure thats the color of her car. her brother rear ended someone so the front end was damaged. i dunno much about it though so i'm not sure if, in the accident, someone damaged the back end of the car too. i don't have any pics but i can probably take some the next time she's down here from tampa. bklyn - do you happen to know whose car that is, or if they might be interested in selling?

I own a 2003 Quartz Blue Convertible CLK430. They do exist. I don't see many in that color that is why I chose it. Got the blue top as well. Color looks very blue in sun and more of a blue purple in darker situations. I always get comments about the color.
