Prolly have a better chance getting people interested if you find out who tuned it. Most likely get blasted for claimed 200+ hp increase otherwise. Just sayin…

I'll try to come up with a receipt or something, the same shop that installed everything for him dyno tuned it, the only mystery is that under the hood there is a sticker from firkins dodge that states the car was tuned and warrantied by them, I just don't know of any dealers that would warranty a 900whp car. I am going to call them this afternoon and see if they did indeed do the work

Look guys, I understand it's easy to spread negativity on the internet, There's no need. If you are interested great if not no problem. I've been in the car game for a long time, I'm not trying to upset anyone. one way or another the car will sell.

The problem is that you’re trying to sell a heavily modified, almost 2-year-old, used car for $7,000 + dealer fees over the new MSRP--and you have the nerve to call it a special offer for forum members. One of 2 things is true…either you’re dumb or you think we’re dumb. (No. I haven't just called you dumb.)

(1) Your post screams "PROBLEM CAR FOR SALE!" It may not be, but that’s the message it sends.

(2) If the car were older and already out of warranty anyway, the mods might add value for some buyers, but it will always be harder to sell than a stock Challenger. But on a 2021, that should still be covered under the bumper-to-bumper and powertrain warranties, and eligible for the Mopar Extended warranties, the mods are a huge liability—and the members of this forum know it.

(3) Brand new Challengers can be had through this forum for 4% to 6% under invoice. This Challenger could have been had new in 2021 for $85K to $86K—and today you want +$10,000 over that. But who on here would do that when you can order a new 2022 or 2023 $90K MSRP Challenger (with warranty) for something in the low- to mid-$80K range.

(4) On this forum, $97K will get you a really nice new $105K-ish MSRP 2022 or 2023 Challenger.

(5) The only way you’ll sell this car to a forum member is for some amount less than $90K.

(6) Your best bet for a maximum profit is to return the car to stock and sell the performance parts separately.

You, of course, can sell your car for whatever you want—and I honestly wish you the best and hope you get as much as you can for it—but don’t try to pass it off as any kind of a “deal” on this forum. We all know better.

Not a bad Idea, I just don't have the stock parts. When I say special offer it is a special offer because we are asking $99,991 online. Like I said I know of the offers, I bought my TRX for 10k off msrp so I'm not trying to act like this is the best thing since sliced bread, but I do own this car for over sticker. There are crazy people, myself included that would rather buy a pre modded car. Plus outside of the forums there are plenty of people getting whacked for 15 and 20k over sticker (as did the old man I bought it from)

Rather than get at each others throats, I think we can all agree that the post below is cancerous

Hey I’ve seen you on TRX forum. I think this has already been mentioned above but I don’t feel like reading through it all however definitely get a dyno sheet and more build info. Good luck on the sale.

The problem here is that modified Hellcats/Redeyes are worth less than stock ones. There's a sucker born every minute, and maybe people can try and flip a modded car. However, the same can also be said about trying to flip a car with a salvage title. It might look and drive perfect, but a salvage titled car is going to be worth 30-40% less than one with a clean title. A modified Hellcat comes with a litany of issues. Who did the work? What's the quality like? What parts were used? Then you have issues with the tune and depending on the state it gets titled in, it could have emissions problems. And so on.

Thus, as a broker, my radar goes up when I see both a modified HC for sale, and for what really and truly looks like an exorbitant price. A P1400 code HC has no manufacturer warranty, it is exempt from any extended warranty, and it offers little to no peace of mind for the buyer. There is just no benefit to trading/dealing with a modified HC. Sure, people mod and drive them... but each and every one of those builds is a unique build. Just because one works fine doesn't mean the other one won't spit out a halfshaft or the blower tomorrow. To add insult to injury, according to the OP, the car was modified and driven only 1,000mi... meaning the original owner didn't perform the break-in procedure, at all. and then proceeded to modify it. That's just dangerous to the longevity of the rear end, driveshaft and transmission.

Everything about this vehicle is one red flag after another. This is why I called it a BS car. Builds like this are great for inexpensive cars like Mustangs. If you roll the dice and come up short, you lose 20-30 grand. But, for 100 grand, someone is buying a car that's not been broken in properly, modified, then left to sit stagnant for the better part of 2 years. The drivetrain in the Redeye costs more to replace than the MSRP of a basic Mustang GT. This is what's called a high-risk vehicle, both mechanically and financially.

While I recognize that the OP is in this car for way too much, I don't believe that the buyer can be expected to pay for his oversight. Just go take a look at the auction values of modded, P1400 2020-2021 Redeyes. Those things don't bring close to MSRP (typically 10-15k under). The worst place to try and sell this car is to a forum full of Mopar/Hellcat specialists who know exactly what the score is on this car. IMO, to get to the break-even point on resale, this is the type of car that will have to sit on a lot a good long while until some 30-something with more money than sense just has to have a Hellcat and isn't of the mind to ask many questions about it. If it were me selling the car, I'd not hide anything, but I wouldn't advertise it as modified and I wouldn't breathe a word about it having 900whp. If they asked, I'd be honest and tell them... but I know full well that the person who pops on the car is going to be the person who buys it either sight unseen or who doesn't know anything about a Redeye. That's the demo for this car... not a forum of people who will spend days asking questions, or someone like me who would send specialists on-site to validate it from top to bottom.
