I've never thought about adjective order... but apparently it's a thing.

So it's new red car then. Just as I thought.

Is it though?

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.
