wonder what the inside looks like? Red dials for sure. Red belts, red/green stitching. Maybe with the light green leather seats from the 70s. Someone will get a deal and wrap the red.

When someone here does it, please let us know the price. 15% off??

I don't think it's the color keeping this car on the lot, but rather the price!!
$163K?? Are you kidding me??: Maybe it's the zero miles?

My thoughts exactly! This vehicle would have definitely sold if instead of red, the accents were white gold!

Except for sport Chrono, not terribly optioned, no added red inside.
A bunch of stuff i would not pay for, but if discounted, I would not mind.

I would guess someone ordered it with changing the red in mind, but cancelled.
Buy it Dec 15th. and change the red Jan 1st

I actually saw this car on Friday. It wouldn't be my choice of colors but it doesn't look quite as bad in person. And it is an RS after all. I agree that it will sit for a long time at $163K which is the MSRP especially considering there was one brand new recently on ebay that the dealer sold for $20K under MSRP.

Agree! It's really not as bad in person....but we wouldn't sign the dotted line! And....it was not a customer ordered car! The dealer ordered it! Change the wheels out and it would work. (except for the $$$$$).
But, they had a "gray black" RS with the light gold wheels/wing/mirrors that was HOT!!!!!

Our salesperson was Nick. Super nice guy that actually knew what he was talking about. Maybe because he was a factory trained technician for 13 years before coming over to sales.

Are dealers giving these kinds of discounts off new now?!!

I love how the subtitle states "One of a Kind". Doesn't that go without saying?

It has one offer on it. I'd like to know what the offer price was.

Thank you for the kind words, and for stopping in on your holiday weekend. I have some exciting news to tell you. I just got the official comfimation from my GM that the Black/Grey RS is open. Please let me know if you would like the Build sheet on the car. I hope you have a wonderful week

Thanks Nick, we are still talking about new versus 'slightly' used.

I loved the Black Grey RS. The pictures do NOT do it justice at all.





BTW: Great talking to you too. Maybe next time we come down the mountain to see you, it won't be so darn hot!
