Hello fellow Hellcat enthusiasts.

I am very likely going to sell my 2019 WB HC RE and was curious as to what would be a fair asking price for the car. I live in NE Ohio so the car sits in a Car Capsule in a heated garage from November 1st until May/June so I just don't use it much.

It has approximately 4,200 miles on it and has never been in the rain. It is fully loaded minus the moonroof. I had the car protected with a three stage ceramic coating and had paint protection film applied to the entire front, side view mirrors, under the door handles and on the rear fender flares. Car has been tinted, lowered and has a Corsa sport performance exhaust on it, installed by Corsa technicians at the Corsa Headquarters. Interesting fact...Corsa actually used this car to develop and test their new baffled sport exhaust systems.

The car has never been tracked but has been up there in speed on the highway and other areas if you know what I mean - picture below.

“Fair” is a loaded term. Someone on here was asking $87k for one with 600 miles. To me that’s ludicrous when you can buy one three years newer with a five yr warranty for less. Others have them listed for less (Low to mid $70’s).
You should really shop that car to Carmax, Vroom, Carvana before going throught the tire kicking lookers phase. They are making very fairs offers currently. Also it would really educate you on current values.

Thanks for the reply and yes, fair is definitely a subjective or "loaded" word to use but I was just looking for opinions to get a range. I did look online and there are only 6 of these within 200 miles of my location and none are in this color or look as good (subjective and biased opinion of course lol). When I did that research, I saw them range anywhere from mid-70s into the 90s but most were with dealerships.

You might also check NADA and Kelley Blue Book Sites to get a better sense of the Used Market.

Wow that is a beautiful car! Sorry, that is the only input I have.

 

[furious70]

it's always useful to look at closed/sold auctions on ebay as well. You never know if someone actually finished the transaction but it gives you a view on whether buyers and sellers are reaching agreeable prices.

Looking online at similar cars (what is commonly referred to as comps in real estate) is one of the best ways to determine a used car’s current market value. However, limiting your search to a 200-mile radius introduces enough bias to make any conclusions based on these results misleading. People in the market for $70,000+ used cars search, and are willing to buy from, anywhere in the US—a small percentage will even search internationally. Your market and competition is national, so you should consider comparables at that level. Best of luck.

From what I can tell the distribution has a min of ~$72K, a max ~$84K, and a median of ~$76K. Values above and below the min and max are statistical outliers.

 

[TOPDAWG]

$72 to $74

 

[PolePosition]

$72 to $74

I missed the aftermarket exhaust and lowering on my initial read. I agree with TOPDAWG's $72K to $74K.

I might say it’s worth more in this market.. you might be able to get close to 80k for it private sale.. that exhaust and lowering is hurting your pocket a bit. But with the right buyer would be a non issue

 

[matt someone with an SRT]

Vettes with 4000 miles are going for 95000 on car max right now 🤪. Crazy world. Same with the gt500s

I live in NE Ohio as well. I have a 2019 HCWBRE as well in Octane Red. I am getting ready this weekend to store mine for the winter. So sad !!! I would trying selling it to Marshall Goldman high end car dealer or Tim Lilly Chevrolet. My close friend sold his for a very good price to Tim Lilly Chevrolet and they sold it to an overseas buyer. Always glad to meet NE Ohio Hellcat owners. I am on the east of Cleveland in Lake County

The photo appears enhanced thus changing the color a bit. What is the exterior color? Also what is the percent darkness on the window tint?

 

[matt someone with an SRT]

Looks like triple nickel to me. My car is that color as well

Thanks for the reply. I think it is interesting that the exhaust and lowering springs hurt the value. For me, I would like that those things were done already but perhaps that is not common. I do of course still have the original springs and exhaust the purchaser could have if bought.

In general, modification reduce the overall value of a car, but I wouldn't go so far as to call these modifications, per se. Lots of folks don't like Corsa exhausts. Some folks don't like overly loud cars for the sake of being loud. Some people do. The great thing about most exhaust jobs, unless they were welded in place, can be reverted quickly and easily.

Given that this car is fairly baseline in terms of collectability, you can expect the price of the car to settle within the normal fair range as reported by KBB/NADA. I wouldn't try and list it with auction sites. I'd try to just sell it normally or, as others mentioned, perhaps through Carvana or Vroom. It's a common color with the popular options. It should sell quickly. The downside is that it isn't one of the more rare cars (bold color + M6). Those are harder to sell, but can bring a bit higher of a price.

You can try and sell it as-is, but I would personally remove the lowering springs. Many car buyers, like Vroom, will offer you less money for an obviously modified car, as will many private buyers. That's because everyone assumes a modified car has been ridden hard and put up wet, regardless of the perceived condition of the car.

 

[furious70]

and some of us live in the land of potholes and snow where lowering is not an upgrade.

 

[Xylander]

And lowered cars are slower in a straight line. More rigid rear suspension doesn't allow for max traction bite. That's why I personally wouldn't buy a lowered big power car. They look cool, but they're slower out of the hole.

Buyers who are looking for a modified Challenger and buyers who are not looking for a modified Challenger together makeup 100% of your potential buyers. We don’t know what percentage each type of buyer represents, but it’s some percentage greater than 0%, so if you appeal to or alienate either one the total pool of potential buyers necessarily shrinks. The smaller the pool of potential buyers, the less competition there is for your car, which puts downward pressure on your selling price. Whereas people who want a modified car are willing to modify a stock car, the same is not true the other way around. People who want stock cars do not want to buy cars they have to un-modify.
