E220 CDI Avantgarde

I am in the process of buying a new E class and cannot decide which colour to have between Tanzanite Blue and Indium Grey. I am having an Almond Beige / Black interior. I have not been able to see a car in the Indium Grey so not sure how it would look. I have been told that the choice of colour could affect the potential resale / part ex value. What do you think?

I think you should be posting in the W212 forum, since this is a new car you are buying and they don't build the W211 anymore.

Color is a big choice for resale. My friend is looking for a white CLS55 with black interior. I must say we have looked high and low around the country and it is quite hard to find. Lot's of black and silvers. The same goes for CL's. My dad bought a 2002 white CL500 and it was very hard to find in the local LA market (and the white ones all had a premium on them). I think both colors are very nice, but probably iridium gray is more common, but then again, idk where you're located. My color, granite grey, is very rare here in the states.
