To answer your questions, absolutely Yes. I've had black Benzes in the past, and when a black car is all cleaned up, dam they look good, just sparkling in the sun. But when their all dirty, they look like crap. That's why, I went with palladium silver for my 09 C300, and pewter (a blend between silver and gray matellic) on my E63. the best part is when they're dirty you can't tell by looking at them, unless you get right up on it.

Actually i wanted silver, and had to settle for black. I'm actually glad i got the black. When clean and polished its looks amazing.

Hey! That looks like the car I just purchased from CA.

It was for sale in Oct last year in Long Beach (John's Auto Center) and asking price was around $37 - 38K if I recall (not sure). How is it running?
