It would definitely stand up in US, where 99% cars have either silver, black, or white.
Love the beige interior.
Check if those wheels are made in Czech Republic

Very nice color. Most wagon in the US are indeed black, white, or silver. It's rare to find one in non-gray scale color and all the options.

That's a beautiful car. Love the red and beige. Window tint is a good first mod. Second mod should be removing those plastic chrome door handle inserts.

Congrats!

Good price. Bought my 2015 as a CPO with 26k miles on it in May of 2018 for $42,000 (without distronic). I did not get the extended warranty either.

Smashing color! 2 kids + beige interior will be a challenge to keep clean ;-) A German company called Zacasi offers great seat cover that fit like original upholstery...



Looking for performance mods? This one was worthwhile...

We grew up 3 sons, while most of the years having tan cloths on our family Volvo.
Volvo went on the junk at 15 years of age due to legal issues after 3rd total, but the cloth seats still had decent condition, although could use cleaning.
But we had simple rule >>>> we always eat at the table.
MB leatherette is easy to clean anyway.

BWM 328xi Touring + Many more...
Beautiful wagon! We're picking up our W212 wagon next week. We really wanted a colour other than white or black but it's super rare to find them as such (I haven't seen a single red one for sale in Canada of any year W212). We ended up with the Designo Diamond White Metallic so at least it's not the standard 'rental car white' with the chestnut brown interior. I have to assume they offered the red in Canada but I've never seen one...

I'm generally not a fan of light interiors but this works so well. Very classy!

Not sure you if you will see this, I'm unable to send you a PM. I'm looking for a Cardinal Red one. If you want to sell it please let me know. Private party, cash buyer.

designo Cardinal Red is a great color (maybe I'm biased). Good luck with your search for it on a wagon.. pretty hard to come by!
