Dealer Cost v Invoice on Hellcat

[gimmie11s]

Depends on what you consider lower mileage, but there are 8 under 50k right now 4 of which are autos. in the 20k mile range.

In another year when warranties start to run out there will be a ton in the low 40s which make them a STEAL for the power you get.

Yep.. or less. Values are dropping like a lead balloon. Once Demon is released, theyll drop even more.

Such a great car... exciting time to get into an HC!

I feel bad for those that paid MSRP or more as recently as 6 months ago.

Last week Huntington Beach Dodge out here had 20 (yeah twenty) of them advertised for $10k off MSRP. Walk into the dealer and you could do even better im sure.

If I wasnt so deep into my Shelby at this point I would get a charger. Nothing like a 4 door boat that will run high 9s with only a few thousand in mods.

I spent about 3 months researching and locating mine. 20K miles is kinda high. I wanted less than 15K miles plus I had to have the Charger as the Challenger doesn't do it for me. I also wanted a '15 due to low production numbers, the 5 year/100K drivetrain warranty(5/60 on 16/17s) and the fold down rear console which is gone for '16 and 17. Chargers are on average about $5K more.

Ya I feel bad for those that bought at invoice I bought used for way less and Im loving every minute of it

^^ smart move on the '15 with the 100k warranty... i forgot about that!

 

[Screw-Rice]

I wasn't aware the 5/100k was only on the 15. Wonder why that is, hmm, may need to look more. I think I would really want purple if I got a charger, see it on 16, but will need to see if it's for 15'. Too many of you want orange, so option 2 lol.

Edit: Seems 16' color.

Reason you're seeing so many 15's for sell with low miles are the guys who bought them with markups trying to get out from them now. Dodge said they were going to limit how many they build, yeah right. FCA is a build them to they stop selling car company. Doing low build numbers on a 60k car doesnt make much sense if you have alot of people that want them.

As far as IHI is concern, I dont blame them I blame FCA. FCA put shitty bearings in the blowers to cut cost like they always do (see 3rd gen viper v10 rod bearing issues). I have a IHI blower on my srt6 and they also supplied MB with blowers for the blown amg v8's and v6's they made during the early 2000's.

My car has 170k miles on the same blower, no bearing issue PERIOD. I changed the blower oil like 30k miles ago. IHI makes rock solid superchargers, the blame is FCA and there shit cost cutting unfortunately. At least they are owning up to it and replacing the blowers before they blow up due to bearing failure.

I won't be in the market for a new toy anytime soon, but if the Charger Hellcats dip below $40k when I am, I will have to consider one in the right color w/right options & A8 trans.

$13K each according to the invoices I've seen. If 200 have been replaced thats $2.6mil

Below $40K is a long way away. Used Chargers seem to be stuck at $55K+ and have been since October. You may have to wait until late 2018 to see low 40s and by then they will have 50K miles

If any superchargers go out after the 5 year warranty, most will go Whipple since its half the cost

 

[Screw-Rice]

I've seen a few used Chargers under the $55k threshold. Right now on autotrader, there is a purple one with 6k miles for $50k. I think we will see sub 50k by the end of summer. There may be some below that now, but I had it set for only one color.

If they sell new for $55k now & many are already in the 40s, it shouldn't be too long before they dip below $40k. I think it will be at least 2018 before I look for another fancy toy anyway so I can wait. Other vehicles I'll consider before the HC anyway.

Theres a private party PCP Purple '16 Charger in Indy with 2,500 miles for $56,900 on the Hellcat site

Challengers just came down to the mid 50s but then you add TTL and you're over $60K. I dont know of any new Chargers selling under $60K

I'm reading the exact opposite of what you posted here about blaming FCA. I'm reading IHI is to blame for the bearing issues and not FCA.
I also read on the Hellcat forum, after a forum member did some "research" on the history of IHI superchargers, that they were not that great at all.

PCP or GoMango are the way to go!!!

 

[Screw-Rice]

Stripes are a no go for me on anything really.

GoMango for the win!

Going the opposite end of the color spectrum the destroyer grey is pretty sweet too.

I concur!
Have you seen this video? Looks awesome.

 

[Sirhc7897]

You know the 5 spokes aren't terrible...

That color combo with some 5% tint all around would just be sinister.

To turn up the Awesome factor, I would add 1/4" white pinstripes to the outside of those black racing stripes.
