One isn't more correct than the other. One is correct. The other is not. Neither is more right. Tongue

Getting a 'new red car' implies that there is an 'old red car'.  

I suspect that in this case 'new' might not refer to age but instead refer to origin... I have a red, recently purchased (or rented), car.

The car could be used, which would make it an old new red car. ("New to me.")

Exactly. "New to me" is not about age.

What would be grammatically more correct to say then?

"grammatically righter" ?


Lets not beat around the bush, we're looking for the grammatically rightmost answer.
