Manganese Brown Diesels

Any fans? There's a really nice low mileage coupe that popped up near me but I'm not sure about the color.

Its this color for reference.

2008 E320 Bluetec 30K miles $32,999 - asking

^^^ MB's 2008 version of that color was available recently near me.
The CARFAX showed a police report that it was involved in an accident, so I lost interest quickly.

As far as colors go?



MB is cranking out mainly just these three:
  • Black
  • White
  • Silver - in three shades.
That's it!

I like the Manganese-version of Brown, Capri Blue, Jade Green and Barolo Red that MB has recently produced.

I'm the number 1 fan!

Best color on a W123 - code 480

Love the color.

I've been referring to that color as UPS brown. I don't mind it, but I'm not a particular fan either. My preferences in vehicle color generally run as follows:

1. Green.
2. Any color that isn't red.
3. Red.

Color doesn't carry much weight in my car buying decisions, unless the vehicle in question is red. I really don't like red vehicles. Conversely, I really like redheads.

That is a great color. I want my lower body cladding to be that color!
If I had room for another car I would get it that color, or Orient Red, love that color too.

Dang. Got photos and it was a sedan. Still priced low if its as nice as he says it is, but not low enough for me. 1983 133k asking $4850 but open to offers. 2 owners.

He had his girlfriend email the photos: The email gave me a chuckle: sexysinglejenn99@blank.com
