Just dropped off my "Best Color Ever Made" Challenger at the dealer I sold it too.

Just didn't want to be saddled with it any more since I'm building a second home in Naples. I was going.to sell it locally but got tired of all the tire kickers with no money who just wanted to take it.for a test drive. The Pre-Owned market changed quite a bit over the last few months. I got $45.5k for it...KBB said trade value was $48k. I know most dealers go with Galves wholesale pricing in case they have to send it to auction.

The used car guy at this particular dealer was a less than friendly guy who acted as if he was doing me a favor. Anyway, I hope the next person who buys it enjoys it as much as I did for the year and a half I owned it.

Well, maybe after you are done building that house, you can find a low mileage 23 just like that one!

I can understand, I had given thought to buying a Hellcat, but changed my mind. Good thing, land next to our farm went up for sale so I invested in that instead. Good luck with your new home.

Enjoy your new place. Wish you the best.

Difficult decision, best of luck. Twist on an old saying; You can take the guy out of the Scat, cannot take the Scat out of the guy.

I remember when you were pissed a Ford dealer was only going to give you 50k for it a few months ago....how the worm has turned

Like I said, the market has changed over the last several months..... no biggie, I'm rich

You gave him a deal of a life time, I see GT challengers selling for that price

Sad. I can tell from your tone it was not easy. Best wishes with the new place. You can always get back in a car you like. But, if it’s gonna be a Challenger, we’ll, it’s gonna be used.

Glad you got a trade in amount you found acceptable. I'm looking to order a new car this summer and if the dealer is anywhere near the listed high trade-in I'll take it. I don't like private sales. I have no time for tire kickers.

The dealer I bought it from in Kansas offered me $46k but it would have cost me $1300 to ship it or about $700 to drive it and fly back.

The Dodge dealer I used for service refused to make an offer, they were afraid they’d get stuck with it

Dodge Dealer with tons of new allocation for Chargers and Challengers offered $36k

The one I sold it to offered $45.5k


I see similarly equipped 2021s with lower and higher mileage going for $51k-53k mostly.

Last summer and fall when the used ones were selling over sticker I felt that Ford dealer was low balling at $50k…but I don’t think I would have found a better offer with the higher interest rates now and a softer market. If I can find the right Hellcat somewhere…I’m a buyer

I'm heartbroken for you, but a 2nd home is an amazing trade off! And yes, Smoke Show is the best color ever made!

No reason to be heartbroken...I never get attached to any car I ever own. My Hellcat will be Smoke show too

Well that sucks that they gave you less because of the color

live & learn

Would have been $39k for any other color they said.

Naples is nice. I used to live in Fort Myers... There will be others. Best of luck with the new home and don't be a stranger here on the forum.

Gotta get it in smokeshow! I got my 5.7 for 45k but I’m keeping till I croak or passing it down to my kid.

Years ago I was PCS’ing for the Air Force and two months before I left, I posted my car for sale on the local board (analog) for $4000. No takers, not even a nibble. A month later I was getting desperate, but thought I’d try a different tack, and re-posted the same car for $6000. Five calls later I sold it for $5200. When the buyer handed me the check, he said with a smile, “Not trying to make you feel bad (he actually was) but I would’ve paid $5800. I said, “That’s ok. Last week I had it listed for $4000! And walked away whistling.

Glad you were able to offload it.

I know you tried several times since you bought it.
