My suggestion would be, go build that exact car on Dodge.com.
My guess is, you can build a brand new 21 (yes I know they are no longer producing 21's..not the point) and the cost will be at or near $80'sh. A 2022 would be more, but this isnt a 21 or 22.
They want $77k sticker, for a car that's now 2 model years old, with 2 previous owners, pushing just 3k miles.
Is the little bit of savings, worth buying used?

Ask for the car fax. FYI, If the car has had recent issues/repairs,etc, those dont always show up on car fax for sometime.
Id also want it checked & documented thru the dealership, including any recalls, warranty voiding add-ons (like a tune) being present, etc. that could trip you up later.
Dealers seldom if ever give or even know a cars real history, let alone 2 owners worth of history, so dont expect much from them, get it all documented on paper.
This wouldn't be a deal I do site unseen over the web. I'd want to go over it thoughly in person and verify everything they tell/provide you.
Personally, Id pass less it was the exact car I wanted and didnt want to wait for a new one. ymmv.

Take a look at picture 6. Notice the metal along the trunk latch. Does that seem to be crooked? Almost like it got rear ended and repaired poorly.
Yep, something doesn't look right there.

Don't a lot of these cars have many owners and no mileage? People buy them, can't afford them, and sell them. They only drive them to car shows, then back to the garage. I just loved the thread with "snow" pictures of cars in the garage all clean and shiny, with snow outside on the ground............. 😁

Yeah the ad is wrong, it's actually Frostbite.

Hey guys, I don't know if this is the same car, but In 2020 I test drove a used frostbite redeye at Dan Cummins. At the time it had 1600 miles on it. Also I noticed it had some exhaust work done as it was pretty loud. Paint was a little rough around the edges as well. I wasn't too impressed as I only had the black key but I didn't let it deter me from ordering my car. Like I said, don't know if this is the same car but it's a good possibility.

Is it me or is that B5 blue and not Indigo as described?
thought the same. Not Indigo blue. More Frostbite.
Price a new one with HC Jesus and see where you are.
Two quick owners is suspect unless the 2nd owner got it reasonably and then flipped it because of these sky high prices

Seems like a good price, but 2 owners? This raises red flags with me. What about you guys? Think Hellcat Jesus has any info on it since it's originally from Cummins?

Given how hot the used car market has been that a Hellcat (maybe!) has been flipped once maybe twice is not surprising.

But you have to go over the car with a fine tooth comb. They all look shiny under the dealer's lights.

Believe if the Hellcat is sold by a non authorized Dodge dealer it will have no warranty to transfer. You need to double check/confirm this or that any existing new car warranty (or extended drive train warranty) will be transferred to you.

Guilty as charged! 😂 Although I do have 30k on mine!

I’m sure that may be the case in some instances
