Anyone hear of Lusso Motorcars in AZ?

Sorry, couldn't fix the message header... the shop is LUSSO in Scottsdale.

Looking for a GTS and found this one in AZ. Anyone ever hear of these guys or know anything about them? I couldn't find much about them online.

Anyone in Scottsdale that would want to give a look see?

Im no expert by far, but what little i know about the Viper leaves me with some questions. It seems a bit low in price for such a 'rare' low miles car, about $15k-20k below what ive been seeing while looking for mine. Using the VIN doesnt seem to confirm the ACR and all Gen II Vipers ive seen say Viper on the front fender where this one simply says ACR. Also, Gen II ACR's didnt usually come with fog lamps, which isnt a big deal, but the build sheet actually says Fog Lamp Delete as an installed feature. Those are ACR rims, but if it had coil overs, why leave it at stock height? I hope im totally wrong here.

Badge Delete was a dealer option, though its weird that they removed 'Viper' but left 'ACR'
* note: my 2000 ACR is a badge delete car... so that's legit.
Fog lamps were part of the Comfort Group option.

Things to look at (just from the picts):
- Drivers seat booster worn (leather closest to door)
- Center console is cracked

Suggestion: If you're truly interested in purchasing
- Better check the Dynamic shocks to ensure they're in good shape.
- Get the car checked well if you're truly interested. Eddie Martin is somewhere out there is Arizona. Recommend he be the one to take a good look at the car.

Thanks for the good info and quick replies.
I had the same question of "true ACR" on 2 others... I found the ACR package doesn't show on the vin decoders. Not even on the dodge.com tool. Mitchdob: any chance your ACR notes that package on the vin decoders?

Good call on the console and seat - I'll ask them for more detailed pics of those today.

Thanks for the lead on Eddie - I'll look him up here and see if he can help out.

From my understanding the Badge Delete option was a Factory Authorized Dealer option not a Factory option and thus would not show up on the VIN.
Mine was performed at Fitzgerald Motorsports in NH.

And yes, you should contact Eddie Martin if you're considering purchasing this car. Arizona Viper Club members should be able to help you contact him.

I'm enjoying my retirement, however, the work travel is getting old quick
