May sound crazy, but try CarMax. Idk where they are with newer built hellcats, but they gave me a very competitive offer, more than I expected for my 15 chally hc, when I sold to them.

You may get more money other ways like private sale, but I didn't want the hassle. Can't hurt to see their offer

I'm pretty much set on trading in my current 2021 hellcat for a 2022 redeye. Is there anyone on here that can assist me with selling or trading in my current car for a redeye?
Bought a new Hellcat in Feb. 2018. Traded in a 2018 Scat Pack. Did this at the dealer.

Then in Nov. 2020 traded in the Hellcat for a 2020 Scat Pack. Did this at the dealer (different dealer).

I didn't want to deal with trying to sell the Scat Pack then the Hellcat to a private buyer. In the case of the Hellcat trade in this saved me approx. $3K in sales tax on the new Scat Pack.

The trade market is very hot right now. They gave me $500 more than I paid for the car for my Hellcat. If you go CarMax or vroom you will get a competitive offer but you will lose the tax credit if your state has one.
Exactly what I did. Ther dealer almost gave me what they offered, but I saved almost two G's in state taxes then.

Get offers from Vroom, Carmax, Carvana, etc.. Print them out and bring them with you to the dealer, use them as a negotiating tool if needed.

I did this and the dealer then tried to offer me my highest offer from the other minus the sales tax savings, saying it was effectively the same deal. He was correct, it was the same dollar value to me, but I was able to negotiate a little more.

Only worth it if the cost is zero or very minimal. I thought about it, but not worth it. 80-90k+ for a Dodge LOL
I agree paid 64k out the door for my 19 wide body Hellcat stripped down to the bone. I'm not into all the fancy gadgets and electronics. Just put about 15 grand into it with a forged hhp bottom end and a Whipple 3.0 along with the fuel system demon driveshaft and a differential brace. Puts me around 80,000. With a direct connection I couldn't justify paying $20,000 more for pretty much an extended warranty for pretty much stock parts when you can just upgrade everything else for so much cheaper. Pretty much just did what Dodge would do even with the Whipple since its the same supercharger is pretty much in the dragpak but more efficient.

If you dont plan to mod and are going to keep the car stone stock, then get the redeye. If you are ok with aftermarket and will mod, don't spend that extra cash to get the pinkeye. Its not worth the extra $8600 for 70 more HP to start with. Sure there are all kinds of other parts of the redeye you are getting for that money, but you can do so much more in the aftermarket.

Smart man right there ^^^^

If ya know how to wrench you can build a used scat pack into more car for about the same cash

The new whipple looks sick. How fast do you want to be rolling and still able to smoke the tires? A nine second street car was considered really quick forty years ago : )
