Out of 66 550/575 advertised for sale in Switzerland, 4 are yellow.

Swiss prices will probably look a bit toppy in GBP terms though. How easy is it to do a colour change on these? Seems like the it would be an option to buy one in a 'dodgy' colour, such as verde, do the colour change to yellow for your ownership period and then be prepared to have it changed again for resale, if necessary....

Kyle, why not get a cheaper red 550 (pref a scruffy one needing paint) and spend the extra on a repaint at Al's and a decent set of wheels smile

Why do you have to 'look' for a yellow 550? Why not just buy a silver/black/red one and have it resprayed?

Surely it would be cheaper to have it resprayed (£3000 top end) rather than paying the premium (upto £5000) over non-yellow 550's?

there is one in storage where I keep my race car. Its a yellow 550. If you drop me an email with your idea of budget I could ask the guy who runs the storage unit to contact the owner for more details and to see if hes interested. Its in good nick I had a good look around it when I bought my 575.
