For me, car will be registered in NJ and I was quoted twice for gas guzzler tax:
I just found it weird since I got charged separately with 2 taxes rather than one and I'm hoping MSRP changes to $1000 since I will be getting a PDK.
Did anyone have a similar experience?
" It's because our system doesn't have a way to handle two different gas guzzlers for the same model code (since touring is an option and not a different model).
The gas guzzler varies whether it is PDK, Manual, or touring. (the wing aero effects on mileage vs non aero, PDK efficiency vs manual)
The invoices for all GT3s will be manually corrected as the cars exit US ports to go to the dealers.
Manual Transmission (No Touring Package) - $1,700 PDK (No Touring Package) - $1,000 Manual Transmission including Touring Package - $1,000"

With Information I have gathered from you guys, I made sure the GGT for my build was $1,000. My V Status Build Sheet (which reflects window sticker price) shows $1,000.
$1,700 for the manual was sadly for calendar year 2017.
People closing their sale in 2018 (which is most of us) will see a $1K GGT hike to a total $2,700 for the manual, grrrr. Yet true gas guzzler trucks / SUVs are exempt...
I posted this all the way back in Jan as per my quote above^^^, and was almost voted off RL - LOL
Shouldn't have tried to kill the messenger guys, not happy about this myself as I'll be facing the 2018 GGT of $2,700 myself, but your dealer should have communicated it to you long time ago, this was known. At the end of the day, it is what it is, not gonna stop me from taking delivery of the beast...
Can we just stop repeating the same bad info over and over again. There absolutely is NO $2700 GGT .
As GT3 explained above:

My winged GT3 is to arrive by the end of this month. On the internal dealer system it also shows two GGT line items, one for $1700 and another for $1000. Re-read the above quote and understand why this is. The end result for me will be a $1000 GGT. This has been confirmed by my dealer.
If people still don't believe this, browse around on the EPA websites and you will find that a $2700 GGT doesn't even exist. The rates are $1000, $1300, $1700, $2100, $2600, $3000, ..... (already provided in post #39 as well)
You will not find a single person that has paid $2700.
