Absent a limitless supply of identical candidate cars from which to pick, since this is a USED car, IMO, CONDITION trumps COLOR, every time.

Even more so, in this case, because I have heard these are NOT without reliability, build quality and mechanical and electrical problems, so that makes the particular you example you select all the MORE important with these.

I am assuming these cars ARE NOT "certified pre-owned" Mercedes Benz cars for sale on a Mercedes Benz dealer's lot, which makes it even MORE important, because if things go wrong you won't have a factory warranty to fall back on.

Paying for repairs on these yourself can get VERY expensive in a big hurry.
