    Ordering a 2017 1 of 1 GTS

    Just out of curiosity, are we able to order a 1 of 1 GTS, GT, etc. for 2017? Or is it limited to ACRs?

    Thanks in advance!

    You can order anything, the 1 of 1 GTC program is really special...FWIW

    Thanks for the info!

    I playing around with the idea of just taking a massive hit financially and getting rid of my problem plagued 2013 GTS and ordering a 2017 GTS.

    It's probably a poor life decision but it's just something that popped into my head since I'm dealing with more issues.

    Anyway, thanks for the reply.

    Eek. if you love the GTS I guess but I'd go ACR, full TA package or just get a base GTC. It's truly a great car. My 15 GT had the sidewinder ll wheels, the 18 speaker upgrade and the the standard alcantara inserts on seats, door panels and under the glove compartment. I like alcantara better than leather and the GT seats in my opinion are the best. However I think an ACR is worth it as the resale will be very solid. Why take two baths when you only have to take one ya know?

    Personally, I don't have an issue with the Laguna leather seats! Maybe it's because I'm a small person. But I love the Sepia interior. I can't justify spending $160,000 on an ACR with the GTS interior upgrade. I also love music and need a good sound system so the 18 speakers is a must for me. Could I technically afford an ACR with all the GTS goodies? Probably. Would it be a wise financial decision? Definitely not. $120,000 is a huge difference than $160,000. Plus, I'm going to come out losing on my current GTS because of all the issues it has had. I won't be able to make up for the loss on it. It will be difficult enough selling it. I doubt anyone looking for a Viper will give me a fair price on it with all the issues it has had, and I refuse to hide any of those details because I'd be no better than the dealer / previous owner that sold it to me. Sell it to a dealer? Forget it!

    Lastly, I think if I do purchase a new Viper, I won't be looking to sell it for a long, long time (assuming it doesn't have any issues the way my current one has). So I'm not really interested in resale value at that point.

    Sounds like very good logic to me. I'd say get the car you want and will enjoy. A problem filled car is not worth it. 160k is definitely some coin. I'd say go for it if you feel comfortable.

    If you have a specific spec, the GTC is a great option. You can get exactly , in relative terms, what you're want. You might consider doing the deal (sell/buy) with Cerritos. You might get some leverage on price by discussing the history and doing their right thing. I would imagine these discussions would have to be with the General Manager, or above. My two cents - good luck.

    I don't know...I have such a bad taste in my mouth after this experience with that dealer that I'm not sure I want to go through the hassle of dealing with them again. But you're right, maybe worth a shot after speaking to the GM.

    Probably best to get a new GTS and try to sell your existing one. If you can't get much for it to where the hit is too bad, then turn your existing one into a track car and beat the hell out if that thing on the track. Baby your new car and you would have the best of both worlds. At least you will get sone enjoyment out of it for all the troubles you have had with existing one.

    Dealership (the old one) should be giving you pretty much what you paid, minus depreciation if you traded it on a new one. Might be the only way to trade out of it, if you can't sell it. But the track may be the only way to get your money out in smiles at least.
