Decided to finally sell the car. Wanted to know where some of you guys got the best price for your car. Seen some guys go with Vroom and get good deals. They only offered me $61,200 for a 18 charger with 8800 miles. The highest offer I got from a local dodge dealer was $62,300. Any other places I should check out?

If you are in Florida I can see if the person I sold my car to is interested. He pays cash.

Maybe MSRP spec sheet for your car, the number doesn't mean anything without knowing your cars trim and condition. Assume no wrecks and exterior and interior are in excellent "used" condition? What does Autotrader have listed within 250 miles of you in same category?

Tried them. $61,800 was their offer. Trying to get at least $64. If not I’ll keep it. Don’t need to sell.
carsandbids.com is offering free listings this month. I'm not sure if that includes reserve listings as they are $40 more than no-reserve. I just got my 2015 Challenger with 45k on the clock approved for a reserve listing I was comfortable with after some negotiating. Might be worth a shot to see if you can secure a reserve of $64k and then see if the auction pans out, especially since you don't need to sell it.

Auction. I usually sell either direct to private party or at specialty auctions. I've traded cars in for personal use to dealerships, but those cars were common (like my 392) and the difference between private party and dealer trade was only about 1500 off what they offered. But, on a Hellcat though...

If the car is a desirable color with desirable options (premium leather, sound, M6 (bonus) anything other than black, silver, white), then an auction may be the way to go. I'd offer it with a reserve at a big auction (like Mecum, Barrett-Jackson, etc.). The reason why I say no black, silver, or white... it's because they're common. You can snag one of those three any day of the week, usually within 200mi of your location. However, the odd-ball colors like PCP, Hellraisin, Sinnastick, Gomango, Sublime, Torred, and the new Smoke Show will attract spenders looking for those colors... and they pay premium. B5 Blue and F8 Green are polarizing. People love or hate them... which reduces the overall market for them. So, you could score big or lose big depending on if folks are there for the color or not. If you're not familiar with the auction game, I'd probably list it with a reserve, even if it takes some of your profit. It will keep you from losing your butt if you list it at the wrong show with the wrong audience and someone snags a "cheap Hellcat" out from under you. The trick is to find a collector and performance car auction with lots of qualified bidders. To get the max price, the car will need all of its maintenance documentation and literature. The more the better.

If the car isn't optioned well and is rather common, then I wouldn't bother with an auction.

Alternatively, you can try eBay or sign on with an online consignor to get overseas bidders. They're used to paying $130k USD+ for these cars (import fees, etc.)

^^ This.
I presently work in Saudi Arabia, and from what I understand, it's near impossible to to buy a new(er) Hellcat here unless you are connected or wealthy. The one company that handles CDJR sales in kingdom, United Motors, marks the cars up significantly and it doesn't help that Saudi law prevents the importation of cars that are more than 5 years old.

That being said, these guys go coo-coo for coco-puffs here over big sedans and love Chargers. It's extremely rare to see a Hellcat and if you do, it's typically a 15 or 16. I think that in the present market, with the right buyer, you could expect to fetch a pretty good penny if you decided to try your luck selling to an overseas buyer.

Just some food for thought.
