Was minutes from signing paper work on this Indigo Blue 2021 Super Stock on Ebay. It's a new car with 4K miles but I decided to run a Carfax anyway. So this is what I found. Should I be concerned? Gut tell me yes but what do you guys think?

10 - Miles - Drivers side window replaced before the sale.
Car was sold in May 2021 - Suburban Dodge Chrysler Jeep of Troy - Michigan.
June 2021 - 2000 miles car goes in for Coil Replacement and Windshield Replacement.
July 05, 2021 - Car goes in for a new Supercharger?
July 05, 2021 - Cooling system and Charging system / repaired / replaced.
September 21, 2021 - Car sold at Auction?

September 30, 2021 - Car is offered for sale by current Dealer.

What do you guys think? Red Flags??? Car has 4800 miles so plenty of warranty left. But I don't want to get in to a car that is going to be at the dealer all the time with issues so quickly.

Was really hoping to get in to another Hellcat since I sold my 2015 Hellcat two years ago. And I wanted something better of course. Let me know what you guys think.

I would always worry and wonder what next, or have the worry in the back of my mind with that much already. I say keep searching and find something else.

That would make me nervous that’s a lot of service history in a short time and big stuff too.

My 17 scat went in for side window replacement before it was sold new to me. Total effing nightmare. The car was broken into when it was on the lot before sold, and there was glass everywhere. It got into the door behind the door panel. embedded in the carpet and shards in the seat tracks stuck in the grease the seat rides on when you move it back and forth. The seat would grind the glass when I moved it. Had to take it back to the dealer at 50 miles for them to replace the seat tracks, replace the door panel and clean out the rest of the glass shards in the door behind the door skin. Car was never perfect. The tech installing the new door panel scratched the shit out of it, and also dinged the painted A pillar outside the car when he was putting in the new seat/seat tracks. Then they wanted to repaint 2/3rd of the car to fix the A pillar because it needed to be blended.

They never disclosed the broken window to me pre-sale, so I threatened to sue. They bought the car back from me for what I paid including taxes and I bought another new one from somewhere else.

NEVER EVER buy a car with a story. I have a strict NO STORY policy on my cars. If it cant be easily explained to a child, then its too complicated and I dont want to deal with it.

Unless your getting it stupid cheap, which your not, pass on it.

I would pass, you can order one for 4%-5% under invoice from a few dealers on this forum. It took four months to get my SS. I would rather wait and get an SS with a clean history rather than buying someone's problem. Good luck!!

 

[ToeKutter]

I’m wondering if it was a theft recovery car before it was even sold. I’ve heard dealers don’t have to disclose anything that happened before the first sale. Thanks for the great advice guys. I’m going to keep looking for a no story car for sure. 😊

 

[Confuzed2]

Ad says it is being sold with a clean Carfax ?!?! I'd hate to see a bad one then....

 

[PHX396]

Run… it’s not a new car.. obviously you he owner got rid of it because stuff kept happening, I wouldn’t want it as my problem as something else will pop up.

 

[ArchGE]

I’d order a new one with the seats not having been farted on.

 

[Slowpoke387]

This and tons of other stories is why I would never buy a used Hellcat. Even slightly used. Between this type of thing and all of the numnuts who just have to change everything around and add all kinds of crap - pass. I'll buy new and eat the depreciation.

THIS!!! all day

You are the garaaaaage queeeen! Nothing works, dealer's closed, all you need is a serpentine! Oh yeeeaaaah.....

 

[18WIDECAT]

That all would be a No-Go from me.
When a dealer sells a car at auction, it can often be because they know/suspect it wont sell for the normal going rate, due to issues...
BTW, 4000 miles is not new. Thats like my total annual miles.

 

[Slidd]

It's a new car with 4K miles

You could have stopped right there. In who's world is a 4,000 mile car new?

Ebay? Auctions? Lol, run like hell.

I was wondering about that? Almost 5K miles in 4 months…wow

 

[Redeyez]

Nope. Pass.

 

[Hpmaniac]

That car will continue to have issues friend. Run like forest Gump.

You a MadMax fan?


As for the car, it’s a hard pass. Too much history in a short period. I’ve had cars for years that haven’t even sniffed that much history.
