According to the Autotrader here in Canada there is a 2008 V purple with cashmere. I am guessing it is the Goldmist Platinum Edition which according to the numbers available only 9 base models were ever made and this one is a V. Could it be a one off?? It is selling cheap too $40000 Canadian dollars (approx. $39000 US) with less than 30000 miles!

It's only a one off, because it's been repainted. I'd bet my ranch GM did not build this car that way. If you look at the pictures, you'll notice the rear badging is incorrect. The V logo belongs on the left side, not the right.

Good catch, Cubby...

Good catch, however take a look at the picture I posted in the other thread I linked above. That is the build sheet showing the options sent to me this afternoon from GM. It does list the car as a V.

What is the "other" thread?
 
The link I posted in Post #2 above this one...

Thanks. I felt like I was in a loop :rolleyes:. That is the thread I first noticed. Sorry 'bout the confusion.

BTW, I emailed them asking about the colour (sic) and they claim it was original. I've asked for a picture of the paint code label and asked about the badging. I don't expect an answer.
