How rare are white S550 Amg's with black interior?

Every time I look on ebay, it's super rare to find a white S550 with Amg package and black interior. Is there a way to get a list of how many white S550's had black interior. Just wondering...

I've always wanted a 2010 S550 white, black interior, and the glass roof. But in my neighborhood I would look like a jewish mother.

Given the overwhelming prevalence of the Diamond White/Peanut Butter combo I have to believe that was the default interior for Diamond White cars ordered into general dealer inventory. If you see a Charcoal (Black) or Ash (Gray) interior on a Diamond White it was likely a customer ordered car.

I did drive a 2010 Diamond White/Charcoal before I bought my black one, but it didn't have the Pano roof. Looking back, I could have just had the roof wrapped in gloss black and gotten the look I was going for. Maybe next time...

And not always in a good way. Aside from Porcelin they all look weird to me. Like chocolate brown and black, or that orange looking one, or that butterscotch. When I'm on AutoTrader looking at cars and one of those Designo 221s come up I can't hit the"back" button fast enough. But Porcelin with Piano Black trim, I'd love that one.

This was color combo that I was looking for but only found 1 in my search.
I looked for 2 months. Most manufactures do not have this combo either.

What bugs me more is the use of gray headliner on an all black interior.

Only is AMG models. This is true for most manufactures

Over the years I just had a shop change it out but on the Pano roof's its impossible

I've had exactly 1 white car and will never own another one again. They are way to feminine or grandpa looking to me and most other folks. The only advantage that I can see to white (or silver for that matter) is that they stay cleaner looking. The S-class is meant to be a black car and looks best in that color, bar none. All large luxury cars look best in black, including BMW, Audi, Lexus, etc. There's just something stately and imposing about the color black on a large car.

I find it interesting that black is the hardest exterior color to keep looking clean, yet is the easiest interior color to keep looking clean and shows the least wear.

i disagree on that. yes black looks good on any big body luxury car. but ive seen some pretty bad *** white, silver, grey ones as well. if i had a choice again i would go white with black interior.

Everyone that loves a black interior in a Mercedes always likes the Porcelin, but everyone I've talked to says jeans rub off on the leather and the seats are a pain to keep looking nice.,

Once you go black you never go back, until you get lazy or don't have the time to decote to keeping black clean.

That's just a figment of your imagination. The color white brings no more money at any auction for any car.

From my experience, men who drive black cars have bigger di@ks and are better lovers.

I watch auction prices a lot. Blacks, Whites, Silvers go for same price but it's the "non desirable" colors go for significantly less. With Green hues the worst

I've got a wife who would dispute that claim....and 7 kids as proof.

.....although I did have the wife and kids before the car.

Ha! Ask my wife why don't ya? I bought that black 221 and half my ***** went numb. Some other stuff happened in there-I won't bore you with the details-but bottom line, a black S reduces penile sensation by 50%.

It doesn't do your ***** any favors either.

No affiliation but here's what appears to be a nice example with low miles in case anyone is in the market.

That's likely because your doctor drives a white car and was intimidated by your black car and *****. So he nicked you to even the score.

I switched from a black S550 to a 2016
Diamond White with the black wheels and the black designo interior and carbon fiber interior trim.

Very dynamic look ... wife picked the colors ... thinks it is edgy.

I like a happy wife ... happy life.
