Matador Mica Red ISF
 
Hello,

I am new to the forums.

Are Red (Matador Mica) ISFs rarer than other colors for the ISF?

I am looking to purchase one in red, just having a difficult time finding one (2011-2014).

Thanks,

Brett

welcome to the forum Brett! i personally feel the Red and the Blue are hard to find, i saw a majority of silver and white when i was looking for mine. Also, believe there was a Red one for sale here on the forums and maybe two on carguru, good luck on the hunt!

Thanks for taking the time to respond, Monkey!

I did see two (red) on Cargurus, but I believe they are before 2011 (when they upgraded suspension).

I know there is a modified 2010 in FL, but owner wants to deal local. (I am in Chicagoland)

I will just have to stay on the hunt, hopefully I get lucky! :)

gotcha, yes the updated suspension is definitely a plus, i rode on my friend 08 MY and the 11+ are a much more forgiving ride.

Welcome to the forum. Red does seem to be as rare as blue. Definitely wait for a 11+ :D

Not really I mean it wasn’t a popular color but if you want a real unicorn look for a nebula gray pearl with red interior 😉

If you're seeking from 08-14 you shouldn't have to many issues finding one but... if you're looking 11-14 you will struggle finding the perfect Matador, Nebula or Ultrasonic

Oh man...I was just in Chicago last weekend with my Matador Red Mica F (but it's an 08)
There is an 2008 for sale at CarMax near me in Dayton but it's priced a little too high.
Not sure I've seen any red other than 2008-2009.
Good luck with your search!

There's a 2011 that has been listed, but it's in New York. Good luck with your search though.

must be really rare, all the red interiors ive seen are obsidian black.

Matador red mica is definitely a rare color for the ISF. Not much was made in that color. Nebula gray is probably the rarest of all oem color ISF.

Thanks for the info. I think only 11K were made in total (all ISFs). I think you are right, probably will have to accept "some" imperfections.

Thanks for the heads up! :)

I researched this particular vehicle. It looks to have had six owners as well as being in an accident. Real bummer about the accident.
