I got my hellcat a month ago. 2017 challenger with 14k miles for 55k. A little pricey but it was one of the best deals I had seen. And it was a 1 owner by an old guy who barely drove it lol

I agree with you sir, heavy saturation of the Hellcat and dogging the car out making the resale value even lower.

[@psysiux4787]

Fr man. Patience is a virtue. Never rush on getting one cause that's what dealershops do. Sign it quickly and get that $$. There will be a lot of negotiations involved lol didn't sign on mine for like a week just so they lower the price. Certainly go for brand new like what 6.2 said. Got mine used but was driven buy a retired man with less than 10k miles. Good deal for sure!

[@detroit313vlogs7]

Thanks for the vid bud. I just bought a hellcat widebody 2020. But I heard you say some People say it had too much power for a weekend driver. I’m not understanding why anyone would say that.

That decision depends on many factors and ultimately is each person's choice to make. Pre Covid I got what I consider to be lucky and found a 2016 with 9,000 miles for $48k Soon as the warranty ended put the "standard" upgrade setup with Upper, Lower E85 and Interchiller for just over $15k Other than routine maintenance I'm into this for under $65k rolling with 900RWHP
