997.2 3.6 available -guards red colour issues?

[IP911]

Contemplating a hopeful return to 911 ownership soon, having spent a few years out of the UK in a non-911-friendly location!

In the UK I had a 997.1 C2S atlas grey/chrono/Bose/lobster claw 19's/sunroof. Loved the understated colour of atlas grey but my eye has been drawn to the linked 997.2 3.6. Fab spec inc the black 19" sports (depending on which advert you view!).

This has been on sale for weeks/reducing accordingly. Wondered if anybody had views - guards red the problem?! Looks cool & well specced - only thing missing from my wish list is chrono, but maybe gen 2 345 vs gen 1 c2s @ 355bhp not too far off.

Appreciate thoughts.

Thanks for all of your comments. I think the Guards Red does look amazing with the black 19's. Had seen the dealer was Northern Ireland hence the plates and had done prior research that not a problem changing plates in England - but if you can leave the NI plate on then as you mention, hides the age!
I've e-mailed dealer to ask about number of owners/service history/major work - maybe that will reveal why not selling!
one of the dealers ads shows the car having GBP7.5k of extras, and that list didn't even include PASM and the partial carbon trim pack so thinking options come nearer to 10k!

Definitely hearing positives re Guards red which is encouraging! Still to hear back from dealer re history etc. Managed to get an over the internet quoted back-to-back good trade-in price also which supports that this is a very well priced car, not even taking account of the long list of optional extras. Thanks all for input!

Hi c4sman, what do you mean re having the central silencer done, is there something to enhance PSE even more? GTS - nice!!

Just heard back from dealer - it's sold!! Hey ho, should have moved quicker, but somebody has bagged a fab looking car! Thanks all for posts/input.

Yes, it's strange, I think on PH it's reduced to 35,450 with the silver multi-spokes and on autotrader at 35,950 with the black sports! I'd go 500 extra for those black rims!
