SORRY OP, just realized I hijacked your thread: Good Luck
Yeah, with Demons though just getting a "Bone Stock" for $130K is a good price in this environment. If you have the means, then waiting until one comes along to your spec may be a better option. I found my price point for value with the 23's, it's a bloodbath being driven by speculation and sucks for the guys here that wanted to trade theirs in or finally move up from a Scat. I think I really dodged a bullet when I was considering paying $100K for one, now I think they should be around $85-$90K for top end optioned SS, RE, JB around $80K for HC optioned out. Instead, we get the end of era stickers and here come the speculators.
I don't think you can place all the blame on TK's shoulders, but this seems to be really treading on their faithful's toes. The MOPAR or NO CAR crowd is not pleased with anything that's happened in the last six months. How many people 'excited' about EV gives a hoot about Dodge and it's history, it's association with NHRA, had posters of R/T's and Superbirds. They were practically
apologizing for the introduction of the Hornet. "We had to get into this segment", that's not exactly 'our engineers like to stay late and started working on this because they loved it soooo much.... '
The Hornet is currently Dodge's backbone, the Banshee/Daytona Ch is also a gamble, Notice the attachment of the NAMES. It's getting a HARD entry into the market segment. This was developed quick, and I mean fast. I really don't dislike it and I must grudgingly agree I would drive it over others, if I knew what it will actually cost and some history on how it holds up. Buying Dodge's 1st EV is being Dodge's guineapig. Delaminating screens, power voltage issue under certain conditions, PCM bugs needing patches, etc. What happens with battery life overtime and when will I have to replace it? If you knew in 8 years you would have to replace your engine, would you be excited about that car? Shut up racers

Durango is not going to be around much longer and isn't a standout in its segment for sales. the HC version is a novelty, Dodge isn't selling enough of them to make a significant impact and they are going away also.
That leaves the Straight six turbo, some hybrid Challenger, Avenger, whatever. Whatever their next big thing is, it's going to be an interesting next three years for them. I believe they have around nine years left to prove viability.
