Nebula Grey was a color change in 2012, replacing Smoky Granite Mica. Liquid Platinum was offered in place of Mercury Metallic and Ultra White to replace Starfire Pearl in 2013. Given how few examples were produced from 2013-2014 (225), Ultra White and Liquid Platinum certainly won't pop up as much as the colors they replaced in a nationwide search simply because there weren't a lot of them to begin with- for the IS F anyway.

I would love to have a MY14 MRM. Do you mind me asking, what did your friend pay for that car (if you know)? I am trying to assess proper market value for these vehicles.

Thanks,

I remember him seeking advice about the ad that had the MRM MY14, but I don't recall the price listed. I will ask him, and if he's willing to share, I'll pass that along. He did say it was a deal that was hard to pass up, as in literally a few days (if that) between contemplating to sealing the deal.

I'm aware of the color updates, yeah I guess when you're breaking it down to the paint code you are probably correct, between 2008-2014 the overall production numbers those color codes are probably the rarest, I was generalizing Liquid Platinum and Mercury Metallic as Silver, Ultra white and Starfire Pearl as White. Nebula and Smoky even thou it was also a replacement I don't consider it as equal since the difference between those 2 is actually a deal breaker IMO

That interior looks pieced together, the armrest looks to be a not black and same with the rear driver seatbelt piece, the shift **** (i think) should be dimpled leather and the seats should have alcantara inserts for the 11+. The tires look odd on those wheels/car (small). I just noticed that the rear headrest looks similar to the 08/09 seats. My 2012 head rest look different, just a FYI.
