BFD. They had a pink Chevy 1500 truck on the sales lot for the longest time. Seller was pissed that they offered him $500 less than the average value. They told him that nobody forced him to buy a pink truck and that they would have trouble selling a pink truck to a guy.

If you painted the car with some brown and gray you'd have a pretty good camo scheme going so that you can drive off the road into the bushes when the police are chasing you ;)

At least you would never confuse that one with another Benz in a shopping mall parking lot.

My guess at what they were thinking: "Export"

Not that I can talk... my 92 Mustang GT was repainted green at one time (had been white). Only problem is they didn't replace the RED interior. Yuck! I bought it, though, because it was 100% stock, right down to the air box silencer. Most of them have been beaten to death by kids, so I counted myself lucky.

I didn't mind the color, love my blk on blk better. It sure was a good price @ only $2150. That's a whole-lot-a car for just over two grand.

Wow... for $2150 I think I could live with it. That IS cheap!

I like that color combo. You Houston guys saw the 300SD at the meet, so I guess you understand why. Those seats would look good in the 300SD. Hmmmm.... thinking..... :bulb:

Just need a matching leisure suit, cowboy hat and alligator boots...

Dunno about you, but I'm looking forward to the day automakers start splashing color on cars again. Look at a freeway sometime -- mostly monochromatic white, black and silver with the occasional red, about as daring as anyone gets. A ribbon of dullness -- like too many PIBS (people in black) at a pseudo-hip party.

Give me back the rainbow -- the light blues, avocados, browns, oranges, reds, and burgandies -- that MB painted their cars when I worked for them in the mid '70s.

Emerald green? Time to return to Oz.

That's how I feel... I paid $2200 for mine. :cool: BUT... there's nothing more expensive than a cheap Mercedes. :rolleyes:

Is there a plaque on the dash that says "Built especially for Kermit T. Frog"? :D

I'm thinking it would make for a great pimp-ride :afro: :gorgeous:

Actually, I kinda' like it. I like unusual shades of green, blue, etc...

It's the dark browns and golds that I can't stand.

I used to have a 1973 AMC Honet Wagon practically that exact color combo.

I would own it even if its not my favorite color if the price was right...it looked to be in great shape.

Wasn't that car formerly owned by the Wizard of Oz?

Or maybe that was one of the Emerald City's municipal vehicles? :D
