Hey yammie fellas, just wondering if anybody can tell me if there's any difference between the '17 and '18 salamanders, lol. Local dealer has a really good deal on a '17 demo, if there are no major differences in the model years it might be worth snagging it up. Any info would be much appreciated

18 has skinnier running boards and a drop and roll. Some 18s have the good fox shocks.

I got a new 17 Sidewinder for $16,500 out the door. Made it well worth it over the 18 for me.
