Chances of finding a White or Red 5-speed?
I'm been lurking for awhile, and have managed to position myself to purchase one of a couple 5-speed SC300's. While I realize this is a rare car and I'm not trying to be picky, I would REALLY would like to purchase a red or white one. The one I moved in on won't be ready for a couple of weeks, the owner is out of town....so I'm keeping my options open as this is a big purchase.
What are my chances of finding a 5-speed in Renassaince Red or Pearl White, within a reasonable distance, i'm in the southeast. I hate to pass up a nice car because of color, but I'm keeping my options open but don't wanna wait 6+ months to find another one.
I thought about posting a WTB, but their are about 5+ of those already. The financing is complete just gotta find what I want without being too picky.

Thanks for offering the car, I didn't wanna post another WTB in the classifieds....
P.S. I don't fly...sorry

Hah, I'm all for road trips! I believe it has 93k or barely 94k on it right now. I can look tomorrow. For the past few weeks since I've posted it up, I've been driving about 100+++ miles a day all highway across these cities.
I and a friend would road trip down and would be flown back up if that offer stands

There was a nice Red 5spd for around $5k on Autotrader last month when I was looking for my SC300... I'm not sure exactly where it was located, but it was definately a lot closer to you than it was to me... it was either like Georgia or one of the surrounding states.

When I was shopping for mine (had to be white, had to be 5-speed) I found two examples in just 2 weeks. I bought the second one. 
The first one (which was a mess) was bought by an unknowing CL member. She was misled and got ripped off. I wonder where she is with the car now...

Those links are just from autotrader. You should also check ebay and cars.com. I found my car on cars.com. The only thing that sucks on cars.com is that you can't search by transmission like you can on autotrader. Anyway, good luck on finding the car.
