This is what happened in the 70s when gas prices exploded and a recession entered. There were Challengers, Chargers, Mustangs, Camaros, Roadrunners everywhere, and cheap. In 77, I bought a GTX for $700. I owned many Mustangs, including a 67 GTA convertible and a 66 289 fastback hypo for under a $1000. Regular Mustangs were $500. People were buying used VW beetles and 240 Zs

[@artillerybuff2000]

OC is right on! I purchased two Challenger 1320's, one in 2021 and one in 2022, one to use and one to sell down the road. Got them both under MSRP and with 0.00% financing. This year I decided to sell the '21 and got 100% what I paid for it MINUS 24 months of insurance payments. So yeah, I lost money. I do believe I could have made money on it if I would have waited a few more years, especially since it was parked/stored with zero miles, HOWEVER, I would likely make more by buying precious metals or with some other investments.

[@Groux504]

With the rate of inflation in the us last year@8.20% and the long term @3.28 if you keep 100k in the sock drawer it will depreciate to $67200 in 10 years. If you take that route Seems about the same depreciation as the car

I ordered my '21 Charger Hellcat at sticker for 0% financing right before the economy went into the dumpster. Never bought it as an investment as it is my daily driver and I love every time I get to drive it. When the economy seemed to be getting worse, I took it to Carmax just to see what they would give me. They offered me 65k when I had less than 10k miles on it. Needless to say, I laughed all the way out of the dealership and I'm still enjoying it today. I thought that maybe IF they actually do discontinue the Hellcat that the value would go up, then I would have the option to sell it for profit if I chose to. Still, seeing as I bought it to drive, it doesn't matter much to me.

How many Superbirds were made?

[@xtnuser5338]

The GNX makes a good example for an analysis. So they're worth roughly 3.5x what they stickered for. Thirty-five years later, it's made a profit of $72k. But over that thirty-five years, inflation has eaten up $47k of that $72k, leaving $27k of actual profit today. And how much of that $27k has been eaten up by maintenance costs, storage costs, insurance costs, etc.? Let's be generous and say only $7k, leaving you with $20K of real world profit after thirty-five years on the original $28k investment. That works out to be about a 2.5% average annual return. If my 401k made that little, I'd be majorly pissed off. And the values have really risen in the last decade. If you did this analysis ten years ago, when they were 25 years old, you wouldn't have even beaten inflation.

You hit it on the head. I’m a Porsche guy, I can’t imagine paying 200k for a car then going to a dodge service department mixed with lower tier clientele.

[@blackonepac]

Gd channel gd info!!!A bit off topic however does anyone know why corvette c7s are 5 -20 grand over msrp and they good investments???

[@deweywallace6314]

I thought the only one of these cars that would be worth storing would be a Black Ghost due to the low production run. At 300 made, that is only 6 per state. Am I wrong? Assuming I could get it at or below MSRP.

[@youtubecarspottersguide1]

most have a $50k markup re sellers on e bay motors

[@xtnuser5338]

A car becomes collectable when it's special and rare. I mean, when the whole care is rare. If they made a million of them, but only 300 of them had a vinyl roof, it's still not a rare car. It's a rare vinyl roof only. If there are still half a million of them in the world thirty years from now, how much extra do you really think people are going to value the stupid vinyl roof?

[@joegotz1971]

I just traded my 2020 raptor. I got 78% of its original MSRP. I had 4 Challengers and did fairly well on trades. But it’s time has come.

[@wilsonsingleton1841]

Love the videos Brad!! Keep up the fantastic work! Make these videos nice and long. Also, sometime in late January, I'm going to trade in my 21 Widebody ScatPack for a 23 ScatPack. We live in Hawaii. Hopefully the prices are lower by then. You also remind me of my high school football coach lol! Awesome stuff. Thanks for all you do for the community brother.

[@Clutch_Kick187]

Why would you trade a 21 for a 23 of the exact same car?.. Just wondering, since they have been virtually unchanged since they were introduced in 2015.. I bought a brand new Redeye Challenger in 2019 when they had the Dodge Power Dollars discount going on.. it was $10 per horsepower discount.. I paid $66,800 bucks after all the rebates ect.. I was planning on just getting a regular Hellcat, but the redeye was so cheap and I figured it would be much more desirable if I needed to unload it for some reason.. Its now paid off and I most likely will plan to enjoy it for a long time coming.. Its sad to see people paying as much as I spent on a Redeye for a Scat.. Geez that is crazy!!

[@OctonaBoyFresh]

​@@Clutch_Kick187Dumb. Especially with the interest rates only going north

[@patrickcooper2760]

I have a 22 Challenger hellcat and i absolutely whole heartedly believe these cars will never go up in value. Ill pass mine down to my son he loves Challengers also.

[@Stanging84]

HE'S RIGHT! Everything he said

[@mentelatl]

I live in ATL. There are currently 2 SRT Demon for sale for around 130k+. I am watching them closely as the price of them keeps coming down cuz no one is buying them at that price! By the way, the monthly payment is like 2k+ a month.

[@fulcrumsee5968]

250k for a challenger is insane. I love my challenger but the interior is almost identical from the demon to sxt. You cant justify to me why a dodge powertrain is worth a quarter of a million dollars

[@oldschoolhiphop2275]

Its that power. A thousand hp stock hemi off the floor. My guy back home built a 68 camaro frame off with a big block 502 it's nasty with the chopped cam sound. It took a decade to finish it that was about the same amount ,but it's different spread out over several year's. It's no question definitely 250k is preposterous that's a house.

[@fulcrumsee5968]

@@oldschoolhiphop2275 like I said, you can't justify why a powertain is worth a quarter of a million dollars. Especially when you get those numbers on extremely specific situations. You're not rolling out the lot hitting 1.66 0-60 or 8.5 Q1/4 mile on the first street. Let's be real, yes this car is justifably at most a 120k car especially with that interior. 8k (including manual labor) is what it would take have a pathetic base model SXT challenger look like a demon on the inside. 250k I can get an Aventotar that will make similar numbers, with much better handles and an luxurious interior. It is and will never be worth 250k in our lifetime

[@RobertJacksonSr-mt9qq]

Yor guys are chasing unicorns like 3 year old girls 😂😂😂

[@Ken-bj5ce]

Yup, your right, looked at new 23 Hellcat, $75K, they now have $2K factory cash till 11-30, $1K trade assist, and $500 military cash.

[@briggsquantum]

As long as you're predicting the future, what's the stock price of 3M and Starbucks in five years? I need to know.

[@RDA8191]

Butthurt you paid 200k for a DODGE that, to most average people, is indistinguishable from the 30k v6 model? 😅

[@MultiSmurf67]

amen-my dad worked his ass off building houses-building cabinets-etc and i was there right beside him....he was a vietnam veteran as well. i served 23 years until my combat injury ended that career as well. speak that truth friend. that is what i loved about ram-they had the least amount of electronics now they have more than ford. too much bs. i wont ever purchase any more new vehicles.

[@sgarn1]

I can't afford a Hellcat right now. After seeing this video, I may have a chance to own one in about 15 years when one shows up on the market with 250k miles...but then again, it'll be like marring Pamela Anderson today.

[@artistofshred1767]

I never bought mine as an investment my wife’s 392 Jeep 20th anniversary I got from the dealership that you go to down in Orange Coast bought my TRX keep them both in the garage and they’re just there for fun so I really don’t care about what they’re worth plus I really don’t drive my car too much anyway. Oh, and I paid MSRP on both. Thanks to you brother.

[@davea4037]

Great points. Even if u wanted to keep it as an "investment", you wouldn't be able to drive it much, you'd be paying registration and insurance annually, and the plastic and rubber crap will need replacement. Strictly for fun..

[@smacdiesel]

Someday they will be worth some money. But not in my lifetime.

[@xtnuser5338]

That someday will be a very, very long time in the future though. When there are only ten of them left in the world, THEN they'll have collector value. So if a million were made, 999,990 people will have to lose their asses so that the final ten can say, "I told ya so!

These cars went from FOMO to a whole new FOMO. Fear Of Massively Overpaying!

[@michaelwalker8870]

Ironically if you do not drive these super charged cars casually or even occasionally you will be paying for it further down the line because parts that were meant to be broken in properly were not as the manufacturer intended them to be. So as a result you either stuck completely reserving and or risking the value going down the second you either break the engine in or start the car and drive down the road more than 30 seconds. i have a ford Taurus 2017 it hates when you just get in and drive it without letting the transmission or engine warm up first so i let it warm up first but if you noticed on a cold day when you only let your engine warm up but don't drive the car and cut it off and come back start the vehicle but the oil temp goes back down but then you turn the engine over drive more than 30 seconds cut the engine and start it back the oil temp will stay warm. it's because the parts requiring heat and liquid to pass through got the adequate amount and as a result are pretty much on standby for immediate use. I belive this theory applies to super and turbo charges cars once they are broken in or used occasionally. But i also believe you can strike a happy medium. Get a daily driver and garage, get an honest mechanic and rack, a good body shop and detailer.

In my town we have a car dealership guy. 20 years ago he had one and now he has like 8, all different makes. He also is a car lover. He has a collection like Rick Hendrick, hundreds of cars, mostly old muscle but he has one or two of these Hellcats and other “special” Dodges. He is the only person I know of that can afford to collect these cars. He will just park them in his indoor garage and leave them there for when they will be worth it. He won’t drive them, they will have delivery mileage. Anybody that doesn’t have it like that is a fool trying to “collect” these Chargers and Challengers. If you can’t pay cash then you are wasting your money.

[@etpass8595]

Drive it like you stole it. I drove my new challenger out the lot, and it's not on the breaking period. But I abuse the living crap out of it once I got it, and It put smile to my face. But I sold it and try to get something more practical and grocery getter. Anyway your Point is solid and I believe no car will ever appreciate, unless it's special collectible car.

There was a king Daytona on bring a trailer that only went to 113k reserve was not met

[@VanCityDLLM]

I agree and I like these cars. It will be holding some value in 20 years but I'm not waiting 20 years for a small return. If you like, buy it and enjoy just for the car.

[@2RCPRODUCTIONS]

All cars (muscle cars) follow the same trend. Buy new they depreciate and then over time bounce back. Challengers in general have had good resale. The difference is they have made tons of them for many years but now they are not. Clean well kept units will be sought after and the tons that were built will fade away over time. All the cars that are daily driven and beat on or destroyed by accidents etc etc will bring them numbers down which will make the ones that are around more special. Im not talking making a shit ton but even if they bounce back to original value depending on when you bought it can be great. Because if your an enthusiast and have enjoyed the car for 15 years and can get back what you paid that’s phenomenal in my opinion! I bought my scat pack because I Love them not because of value in the future but wanted to have one NEW before they went away. I knew they were going away so I bought a new 21 before the prices shot up. A piece of beautiful muscle car history secured 👍. Great conversation points OC👍

[@RTmuscle_]

If you could buy a Hellcat Jailbreak at the dealership invoice. Would you? MSRP is 83/87K. Sale price is 74/76K.

I have a 2012 challenger rt. Header orange. 6 speed manual. Sunroof. One year rims, with 10,000 miles. Bought it for 12,000. Dodge dealer wants to give me 25,000. It is only one of 114 made in that package. I think I am going to keep it. Great investment.

[@jonsandstrom2356]

I’d be happy if I got 80 to 90 percent of what I paid for my swinger in a few years when I sell it. I paid 3k under sticker. It was less than many regular SP wide bodies on the dealer lot.

[@ocmotivator]

You did great on your swinger for sure getting it under msrp! Just drive it and enjoy it. 👍👍
