color input - carmon red?

Hi guys, obviously I'm new here. I'm looking to buy an 03-04 C2 or C4s. What do you guys think of carmon red? See here for examples:

Not a very common (popular) color on these cars. May be harder to sell than ordinary silver/black/blue cars. May give room for price negotiations?
But what matters most is what You think!

I love it. With a good polish it becomes a very deep lustre finish.

Very unique colors. Don't be afraid to be different. If you buy the C2, you've got to lose the chrome rims though.

I like the color, but I don't know if I could live with it everyday. Either way, your opinion is the only one that matters.

I love this color, but it also depends on the interior (sp? I cant spell today), black would be nice.

This was my concern--I began my search looking mostly at blacks and silvers, etc, but there's a carmon red C4s that may be quite tempting. It seems to be on the lower end of the market price-wise--I'm not sure if it's because of the color.

I know that my opinion is the only one that should count, but I don't want to get screwed if I try to sell the car later. Thanks for the input guys.

p.s. the interior is grey.

Like it. It would work great with black interior. I would entertain a C2 with it.
