A boss of mine once told me and this is not politically correct by any stretch, but "if you are being *****, at some point, you might as well lay back and enjoy it". At this point, you have been totally out of control as to when the car will be built, but you so know it will be built to your exact specifications, so in the end you will get exactly what you want. I would just stick it out and take delivery.
Personally I thought you were crazy for selling the last SSG Coupe because that WAS a beautiful car. You probably should have drove it a bit. An extra 500 miles would not have hurt the price at sale. But I understand as a SSG ACR is hard to pass up too.
Again, though just my opinion, I would sooner have a car built when I know the suppliers are not having major problems with parts, etc. in the future. If things are that bad, part suppliers will do what they need to to survive (you can't blame them) which means if cost can't change, quality and schedule could. That is a scary scenerio.
With the barley handful of SSG ACRs made, being made and potentially considered, I don't think it will matter much on depreciation on the year. The color clearly has a following and is in demand.
However, I do agree that the dealership should give you some money off, as they have held on to your deposit most all this year. Only seems fair considering you have bought multiple Vipers from them. That is just good business sense on their part.
