05 CLK55. Cant decide white or black -_-

I was looking to buy a 2005 clk55, but one thing thats been buggin me for this whole time is the fact that i cant decide if i want it in white or in black. i know that there is more of a chance of me finding a black one for a more reasonable price. But then when it comes down to fixing it up, i can be more creative and do more stuff with a white one. Whattu guys think?

WHITE...Less white ones around, and much much much easier to keep clean and scratch free, AND DID I MENTION EAISER TO KEEP LOOKING CLEANER THAN A BLACK CAR!!

I used to have all white cars and swapped to all black CLK and black Navigator because I love the CLEAN Black car look, but they get dirty so freakin easily and all parts must be painted PERFECTLY as all minor imperfections will easily show up on a black car. Next go round for me will be white. I even had a chance between a black or gunsilver QX56 and I jumped on the GunSilver QX56 instead.

Well just my .02 cents.

Greg

I have to agree with white. It'll look much cleaner. Unless you like blacking out your car....then go with the black.

I have owned quite a few black cars. And after my Z06. I am done with black.

And white is my favorite color. I would trade my silver for a white in a blink of an eye.

I like white on the 63 CLK Black Series 'cause it shows off the carbon fibire tirm. Years ago I had a black car (a Lincoln MKVII) and that was enough. I don't want black to be my ride again any time before they carry me out of the church.

Too many black and silver Benzes out there. Porsche and Corvette mix it up better.
