A brand new one just sold at auction at Barrett-Jackson for (make sure you're sitting down...) $143,000!
Holy crap

2022 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT HELLCAT JAILBREAK (barrett-jackson.com)

Yeah I don’t doubt it. Hellcats will be special cars going forward and any special edition ones will be $$$$. I bought mine because I love the car and always wanted one; what pushed me over the hump to drop over 100k is that I feel these cars will hold value. 100k spent on a jailbreak is better than 100k spent on an Escalade, BMW, or Mercedes any day.

Agree 100%...I'm no expert, but I do have a hunch these things are going to do very very well in that respect. $140k...gadzooks!!

It's the newest thing as far as hellcats go, and some people just have to have the latest. l don't really think first sale price of something like this translates to long term value. Look up what the 2015 hellcats were going for at auction back when they were new compared to their sticker price and you'll see a similar trend. Using that as a guide, 2015 hellcats should be as valuable as JBs in the future.

Yes, this shouldn't be the sole barometer for future value, but damn, I also wouldn't have guessed one of these would fetch for much more than $110-115k, brand new or not. I was pretty surprised at that number tbh...

BJ auction offers of 'job #1' OEM special models have become a big charity deal - they in no way reflect the market on that car or tangential cars.

If I do decide to sell mine which I probably won’t. I wonder what a 2022 JB with 100k miles will fetch next year 😂. I’ve been driving the wheels off this thing

I agree with other posters…. Until I see the market moving these frequently with high values I won’t get too excited over a single BJ auction.

DODGE DURANGO HELLCAT SOLD FOR $180,000 WITH NO RESERVE AT AUCTION

The 2021 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat is an extremely unique and hilariously ludicrous SUV, and one just sold for $180,000 at auction.

In regard to the JB. It hammered at $130k. That nets the owner $118k. Minus shipping the car to auction & hotel & travel exp. Probably closer to $115k in the sellers pocket.

Thought it said 143k sold price.

You add the 10% buyer's commission from the sale to the hammer price and you get $143k.

BJ gets 10% from both the buyer and the seller. So, on a 130K hammer price, BJ gets $13k from both the buyer and the seller. Seller gets a check for 117k and buyer pays $143K.

Also, dont forget that the seller pays thousands of dollars of extras beforehand such a professional photography, listing catalog prioity, listing at a prime day/time in an auction, etc. Sometimes these fees add up in the neighborhood of $5k or more.

Then add the $3,000 in transport costs to get the car there. And hotel, meals, etc., if the seller is present, and this "record" sale probably didn't really net the seller much more than he paid for it, with taxes, etc.

And BTW who the heck wastes a Jailbreak allocation ordering a what is, in essence, a no-option black/black redeye widebody that would price out at $88,515? I guess he did it for the $595 grey brake calipers...or make that $3,085 grey calipers?

Here's the window sticker: $91,600.

The only reason I ordered a Jailbreak vs a ‘regular’ Redeye is simple: I HAD to have orange calipers/bronze wheels with my red interior. I also think Jailbreaks will tend to be more of a one-off car since the configuration combos are expanded which might make them a bit more sought after down the road. I have a ‘15 Challenger Hellcat (sublime w manual trans) that we bought new. The Redeye (regardless of it being a JB) was something I intended on buying anyway. Not really looking at either one as an investment. Bottom line is that we’re all a fortunate bunch…..
