Seven 2018's? Sounds like they aren't very good at selling cars. Did they have them overpriced for ever?

Looks like a smokin deal as long as they’re not playing any games.

Weren't 2017 Hellcats going for that much in 2017?
Just because the car originally stickered for $74k doesn't mean it was ever worth that much. I don't see anything that would justify the original sicker amount, do you guys?
HK, sunroof, leather... Someone optioned it with stripes and black brakes...
I'm under the impression that a '19 could be had for that much, but maybe I'm way off base.

In late 2019 the market for these cars completely changed. Hey it took 4 years for them to be reasonable... :)

I was looking at a 20 that went for a little over 55k. Someone else bought it before I could jump. It was a nicely optioned manual car with an MSRP of close to 70. The floor is low to mid 40's for low mileage 15-16s it seems so not sure what a fair price for a new 18 is. If it was low 50s it would be tempting.

I believe you could get that car for less... I have seen 15k off some 2020's Hellcats. not that big a discount on the Redeyes but maybe others have. The best deal I have got so far from local dealers is $13.5k off RE.

I see that is the only one with a price tho, they are playing the 'call us' game with the others.
If they were local, I'd be tempted to go beat them up on the white one.

Still, not sure about a car that has been kicking around a car lot for that long ................

Good deals are great and all, but you gotta wonder at what point Dodge will think it's not worth having a car like this if they can't sell them without huge discounts.

I offered $59k for the wide body they have that is identical to my car... white knuckle with carbon stripes. No response and I probably would get a 2020 for 15-17k off before I would get one of those 18’s for 20k off. I have seen them in person and they are all pretty beat up.

One dealer I looked at in 2018 had 4 2017s (no 2018s) in stock...all were dirty and the one I looked at the the battery was dead. Not a good sign.

Aw, come on. Surely the oil has been changed at least four times already, the tires kept out of the sun, no cold starts or test drives ever, and always on a battery maintainer.

I got a good deal on my '18 (in '18) but still kick myself for not getting one sooner.

I missed out on the 15's..got an early 16.....the local WNY dealers have no HC/RE inventory @ all...18 or 19...

When I finally got off my butt and "needed" one, it was too late to order - at least for the driving season.
Which is how I ended up with red seat belts and the dumb and heavy HK stuff in the trunk.

On the other hand, I also ended up with stripes, which I would've never ordered but have grown fond of.
Mostly because they're almost invisible on Granite.

You can see they're dirty in the pics ! Pretty much sums up how they've been treated if they couldn't even give them a quick hose down before taking pics :(
