Considering the difference in price between a film with perfect colour and the same film which has faded or turned pink if you were to pay top money for one with perfect colour is it still possible that it could fade or go pink now ?

All fade sometime, even if a hundred years later. I suppose it would depend on your storage conditions. If the seller had kept at optimum levels and put off the fade/pinking and the buyer stored badly it might fade quickly, but all depends on the film stock and lab care with chemical replenishment I would say.

Depends a good deal upon which stock it was printed and how it has been stored.
IB Technicolor, AG (Agfa/Geveart), Kodak LPP. and (some) Fuji will probably keep their colour. In the stated order.
Eastman, Kodak, Kodak SP should be avoided. Although by now they will now have turned anyway.
