I think the Luxury Motors selling this so-called Carmon Red car is located in Oakland, CA...affiliated with Infiniti of Oakland.

As you will see, they are totally different colors (Carmon Red Metallic is like a burgundy), but I would choose it over Guards just because there were only a couple produced. I had my eye on this very car about a year and a half ago (highly optioned).



jmla, thanks for clarifying the difference in colours. Carmon red really seems to be more rare. I agree with one of the others, that from the pics the car looks more like a guard red than the carmon red. Anyhow, I have decided to pass on the car at Luxury Motors. I remain interested in a 6GT3 guards red and have time to wait for that perfect car. 40 is only coming around in August 2009...

Just noticed the following 6GT3 for sale, and it's guards red, the colour I am looking for. It's now listed for $61,981, and apperently it's also on ebay. Any comments on the dealer (Merceds Benz of Sugar Land, TX) or on the car itself (WP0AC29935S692131), and any suggestions who to use for a PPI?
