How should we configure our last 2018 GTS?
Just got awarded a 2018 GTS allocation for doing so well with the GT series in the region.
Shahul and I were debating how to configure it. He says to keep it pretty base and inexpensive - I'm thinking more of loading it up like below:

I cant change it to a anything but maybe a GT base... When they allocate us a GT, I can make it a GTS, but not a GTC or GTR, those are allocated as a GTC or GTR, no DTEC available...
I wasn't sure we shouldnt make it a GT or base GTS and keep the price point down?

As a build, I like Steve's config (mostly ). It will look fantastic. However, if less optioned models are moving better off the showroom floor, then Shahul is right.

Whatever color you choose, here would be my list to keep it desirable, simple, and priced to move somewhat decently:
19/20-inch forged cross spoke-black
Panorama Roof
Exterior Night Package
Red Pepper / Black leather
Red Seat belts
AMG illuminated door sills
Burmester High End Surround Sound System (most all who get it love it, most he didn’t get it after hearing it wish they got it)
Lane Tracking Package
?Discrronic Plus-I guess, people like to have the extra security of the warnings and cruise help
interior carbon fiber trim and cross bar (dress up the inside)
For your sake, I would skip the following to help move quicker and keep cost slightly down:
1)Arrodynamics Package
(buyer not likely to be tracking on a regular basis)
2)Exterior Carbon fiber packages
(I personally love, but with night package included for some good contrast I think the cost management here will fall in your favor)
3)Dynamic Plus
(your buyer likely not to care, or notice difference without
just my .02

For a geezer like me 469 HP was sufficient. My entry level GT is pretty much loaded except for carbon fiber, a whale tail and the night package.
And from what I've read the GT is a rara avis, with many less being made than the other variants.
So, if it was me, I'd load up a GT and watch it sell fast.

I live near your Devon dealership, and know one of your managers there for over 25 years (in fact we were out to dinner last night with him and his wife). I was interested at one point in the used GTS you have, but I ended up finding a car with a better list of options (at least for what I am looking for). I did not think these cars sold as quickly as you implied, but I'm glad to hear you are doing well with them.
