Default Rare Color ?

Hi folks,
I have a chance to get a DSOM A4 with the options I am looking for. The sales manager told me he is expecting a Millinum Yellow with the same options an dhe is saying that the M.Y. color will be low production. I s he full of it ?
Thanks for you input.

Fred

He's exagerating just a little bit. Probably won't be more that 3000 to 4000 of them made this year, though. JMO.

Buy the color you like. Both are nice but rarity doesn't enter the picture.

I saw some numbers, recently, that showed that MY was one of, if not the least ordered color so far this year.
But, RARE, never!
Even a low 5% of the year's total production will be more than PR.
They made over 1300 PR.

Now, Aztec gold, THAT would be rare. But it would run, and look, like greased owl sh*t!

Agreed as well I wish they would do something like the 96 cobra with the mystic paint job (changes color as it goes by from black to green purple etc.). The car still has good value. I was not a forum member when the 50th anniversary came out but I was disappointed that it was maroone and shale I was hoping something really different not the purple indy edition but something nice even if its a little flashy.
