ya for the record gpw is the hardest color to find, that was my first choice but i never found one...red is definitely problematic to find as well. its true, generally people are going to buy silver before they buy red.

I had an NFR on order until I discovered that the car was still on the pier in Japan. Within a reasonable driving distance, my choice dwindled to GPW, black or silver. I wasn't willing to wait an extra 30-45 days to get the NFR and chose the Sebring. All great colors and I would have bought either the white or black had the silver not been available. If I were you, I'd forget about color and buy what you consider the BEST car. The only demand to make on a used car is that the color doesn't strike you as objectionable because you will after all , have to live with it.

Great posts guys, thanks. Interesting thing, I found a couple 2003's with ULTRA low mile this year (under 2000 original miles) and both were Suzuka Blue...I just could not bring myself to get one...(no offense to anyone) They both had the blue dash.
I also found a BOATload of Sebring Silver's for sale. Silverstone seems to be harder to find that I thought it would be as well, thats my number 2 choice...I guess I'll just have to keep looking!
Interesting note...for 2003 only, I've NEVER seen a Silverstone with a factory red interior, i've seen hundreds of 2003 silverstone's with red, but never Silverstone. It was apparently an option(according to my 2003 dealer brochure) for the Silvertstone, but I only ever saw Sebring Silver

I've been looking for a nice used 2003 for over a year now, and there seems to be VERY few NFR (new formula red) cars...? Did they produce an abnormally low number of the NFR in 2003?
