Don, we have a black 2014 E250 Bluetec sedan that had a flawless finish when I purchased it last fall (over 145k miles). It still looks amazing. Paint technology has advanced so much that you don't have to fret -- any dirt becomes invisible. On Thu, Sep 14, 2023 at 12:47 PM Donald Snook via

I agree. Color by itself is not a dealbreaker, but some colors are definitely boring/common, silver and white being near the top of that list. On Thu, Sep 14, 2023, at 10:54, dan penoff.com via Mercedes wrote: > Not a dealbreaker on the right car, but not one of my favorites. > > -D > >> On Sep

I thought you hated Silver. It’s a little boring, but this one looks clean and Silver is a lot easier to keep clean than some others. Donald H. Snook > On Sep 14, 2023, at 7:53 AM, dan penoff.com wrote: > > Until the balance shafts let go. No, really, with 184k on the clock, it’s >
