Black or White?
As I see more & more people on this board looking to purchase a pre-owned vehicle, several questions come to mind for most. P1 or P2 (...more importantly what's the difference), CPO or not, AMG Sport or not. While all of these have been discussed (and no definitive answer has been made on my part) , I have a simpler question: Black or White. I know a premium is paid for a white vehicle but a black car seems to be more in demand and higher sales percentage. Recently being transplanted to SoFL, I am leaning towards something a little lighter in color. The CLS I am eying is the same combo as my current ride: black w/ beige interior. While having two look alikes may be nice, I'm thinking about going with something that will reflect the Southern Sun a little more. What say you?
