If I am sitting at a table of folks and we are discussing the age of our red cars, I might say "I have a new red car".
If we are discussing the color of our new cars, I might say "I have a red new car".
I think "I have a red new car" can be used even if you're discussing the age of your cars but using "I have a new red car" when you're discussing the color of your car seem a bit odd because "new" there is a bit more unnecessary than "red" in the previous sentence. Maybe that's why they think it's the more correct one?
