Type R Fake?

[drwang 10+ year member]

I saw this craigslist post for a type r 12". Take a look at the picture.

It's red rather than the normal grey color, basically inverted colors with the logo. Is this an older model or fake?

I called up the guy because I'm interested in a cheap beat system to setup for my girlfriend. No offense to type r. Anywho, I ran into this and it sparked my curiosity. The guy said he got it from a friend. That's all I was told. Thanks for the help guys.
