Kinda strange that we're not hearing anything back from the dealers - but maybe they're a bit in the dark on this. I sent a note via my one-of-one portal asking what was up, and haven't heard anything back yet. But, it was after hours that I sent it, so probably won't get a response till Monday. I would be seriously bummed if they cancelled my order... At this point, I think I'm in the clear because the order was accepted and I had the intro chat with the concierge (and got issued my portal log-in), but you never know with these things. Hopefully it all works out for everyone, or the Viper will go out leaving a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths.
This whole thing is crazy. First they can't sell enough, now they sold too many. Any updates from the dealers on here? *taps mic*
If you go to Gerry Wood Dodge's website in North Carolina they are showing 12 pages of Vipers. Many in custom colors. They are showing several pages of ACRs too. Looks like he did in fact order 135 Vipers. Crazy.
Where are the dealers? Usually in every thread like stink on shit but we have one that matters with a bunch of confused people and...nothing
probably because nothing is 100% solid, so they don't want to comment until they figure out the real deal. I don't blame them. They have a rep to uphold with our club. If they give wrong info by accident half the people on here will badger them like theres no tomorrow. I'm sure they want to help the buyers and sell some cars. But I'm sure they are getting their ducks in a row first.
And it is the weekend![]()
I called the Gerry Wood dealer hoarding and the mods deleted my thread...this is serious news for viper nation and it's being ignored?
To some extent, I figure they're making a business move that is high risk and possibly high reward. They could easily get stuck with 50 cars they can't move, though (especially with some of the weirder color combos they picked). My beef with what they did was that they seemed to have abused the GTC program a bit. My understanding was the GTC program was supposed to be for sold orders - although there is no "rule" in place about that (other dealers have ordered non-sold orders via the GTC program, so that opened the door to doing it).
If they had gone and ordered up a ton of stock standard ACRs and ACR-Es, I'd applaud them for being risk takers and possibly putting a bunch of cars out there that make the one-of-one cars more desirable. But, virtually all the cars look like they're GTC cars which chaps my hide a little bit.
Re-post it...The Mods need to give a reason for deleting a post, either in a PM to the originator of the post or in the Forum, so we all can learn what to post and not to post. Also, its hard to believe if its true that a dealership that no one has heard before (and I live in NC) can actually order 100 plus vipers, and yes in my opinion that's hoarding and relevant information to the members.
Something weird going on with the server or this thread? I keep getting a "Forbidden" screen when I try to get to this thread. Makes me think I said something bad and I got sent to the time-out room![]()
threads deleted....no dealer comments....hmmm
we the buying suckers...
Martin and Viper Jon I apologize for bragging earlier.
I remade my original post. Let's see if it's deleted.
