A Decision to Make

So, I need to share a bit with people who understand. I currently own an '88 Guards Red cabriolet. I have spent quite a bit of money getting it the way I want, i.e. 7's and 9's, new top, front/rear spoilers, etc. The only thing I really have left that I want to do is to put turbo flares on it. It has about 127k miles on it, but it runs very well. In fact, over the summer, I dropped the engine to fix "all" the oil leaks. So, like I said, I'm happy with it.

My dilemma is this. I have always been a little bothered by the fact that the car is Guards Red. I love the color, but EVERY 911 is red, black, silver, or white. I really would like something a little more unique. So, I've found an '88 cab, just like mine, but it's Pacific Blue (I think) with 64k miles at a dealer. I'm curious as to your opinions on the possibility of a trade or something.

As far as value is concerned, I'm not sure what to do. I bought my car for VERY cheap, so I'm sure I could sell/trade it for better than what I have in it, but I'm not sure if it's worth all the hassle just to get a cooler color.

What do you think?
