So I recently purchased a cat about a month ago. Paid MSRP. but from what I'm seeing I may be able to get a little more then what I paid for it. So I'm considering selling the hellcat taking a little extra money that I got and putting it into a redeye. Has anyone had Success in doing this

I did the same thing thing year. Went from a 2019 Cat to a 2021 red-eye, same exact build +3.09 gears.

I paid 56k otd for my 2019 and traded it in for 1k less than the new 2021 Red-eye cost so was a no brained for me.

There are a few things to consider though the 2022s cost more and the rebate is half what it was last year, if you sell it outright your going to take a big hit on taxes vs trade in.

But the move from a Cat to a red-eye is definitely worth it if you plan to race the car, upgrades are definitely track oriented, if it's just a toy to be driven once in awhile not so much.

I think its worth it cost difference between a 21 and 22 isn't much more. A 22 Redeye is only $1300 more base MSRP than a 21. The 2k incentive is pretty crap anyways most people rather take the 0% financing for 72 months which is great free financing. There a 3 vendors on this form as well that can factory order you a car 5% below invoice cost which is roughly about an 8% discount off sticker. Im about to pull he trigger on ordering a 22 redeye through one of them.

Redeye vs hellcat is a very big difference IMO worth the 8.5k and it's not just power figures. Its a stronger motor, bigger supercharger, SRT chiller, I think stronger tranny (I could be wrong), different fueling system, and some other goodies I can't remember off top of my head.

If you can do the jump it's worth it but if you are content with what you have the saying goes "don't fix something that isn't broken" a normal hellcat is bonkers as it is and lets be honest 99% of people dont know what a redeye is most people just go "OOOOO LOOK HELLCAT"😂.

I just built a RE Charger on the site & $89k MSRP. Local dealer said they'd give about $62k for my 2018. Not willing to start over for $25k+ more

If you get a good trade in/ sale price you will not regret it... If your willing to trade now get your car later you will not loose a dime.

YES!!!

Yeah I have a 21 charger hellcat about 3500 miles on it I checked today and I owe about 56k on it as of today. I did get a 0.9% interest rate when I got the car mostly because of my down payment. I would honestly like to get into a redeye and maintain my current monthly payment lol. Not sure if that's possible but if it is then I would jump on it. I really don't mind waiting for the car honestly. I do have a daily I use so I mean for a red eye if wait. But Im kind of also wanting to wait to see what else dodge does in these next 24 months because they are still going to release two more "final edition" types before the hellcat goes away forever so I'd like to see what that is. I don't know. I do want to get a redeye just because of its pedigree lol being the bottom end and all from a demon etc.

I don't think you're going to get many nay votes here.

I'm just wanting a redeye for less per month then I'm paying for my regular hellcat 😭. Saying that out loud just makes this whole consideration seem a bit out of reach lol

 

[Himmelkat]

Not if you sell your Hellcat for more than you owe on it.

The real problem is that you are living on the margin. If you paid cash for your current car, and could flip it at a profit, then order a 22 RE significantly under MSRP, it would be a no brainer. When you are shackled, it gets much more difficult to take advantage of an opportunity. The NASDAQ dropped over 400 yesterday, great opportunity, but only if you are positioned to jump on it.

This may sound unhelpful, but the issue is your situation. Maybe you should be happy that you got a HC while they were still affordable and now you can concentrate on positioning yourself for opportunities that will come in the future. You have the HC! Be happy!

Check out Koon's post. 5% under invoice. That would help you save some money. Also the dealer in Kentucky is 4% under invoice.

 

[borden72]

Make sure you contact Craig Benner at Koon's to get the pricing. Info is in this thread.

Is Chrysler still offering 0% financing? I've been searching but haven't found anything on their site for some reason.

I agree, would probably be 30/35 k more for me.

Bought a 21 Scat Pack at Supplier.
Bought a 2020 Fusion on Z-plan.
Traded 2021 SP for 5k more than I paid for it. Traded the 2020 Fusion for 7k more than what I paid for it. That is how I justified my 2022 Redeye order at Supplier again.

Supplier=invoice?

Not if you sell your Hellcat for more than you owe on it.

If you are dumping that "profit" right back into the replacement Hellcat, then it's not a win
