Watch the prices drop back down when Dodge comes out with the EV Charger/Challenger but continue to make the ICE Demon/Hellcat/Scatpack just like Ford did with the Mustang. Dealers are all playing on the fear that Dodge is going to stop making the ICE muscle cars.
Are you aware of what the Demon is?
Redeye?
Hellcat?
They're all different. The Demon is very limited and who doesn't want one ? They're not coming down for a Hell of a long time.

I'm gonna be upfront and say that these do not impress me at all. I don't give them a second glance at C&Cs or shows. They're a rich boys' toy. If I had $100K to $300K to spend on unnecessary things, these likely would not be on the "gotta have!" list. Yeah, they're cool, and absurdly fast. Unless I had unlimited access to Texas Motor Speedway, or Watkins Glen, or Hallett, I couldn't justify that kind of money for one of these. The price is so far out of reality for me...and I make pretty good money.
One of my friends has a new Demon. His payments are $1,888/month for 84 months (with 20% cash down), and his insurance is $375/month. I'm out.

Who weighs down a drag car with a sunroof, for $10k?

I am but my point is that that they are trying to take advantage of the perception that all these cars will be gone in the near future. They said the first iteration of the Demon would be a one year only and here we are with a second or third run? I also know the prices have sky rocketed for all the Dodge muscle cars and the primary reason, IMO is that everyone is worried if they don't buy them now, they'll never get the opportunity again.
Granted, the price of the Demon will always be far more then the Hellcat and ScatPack, rightfully so but if you look at post #31, they're asking 200k for a car that likely has a sticker around 123k, subtracking 10k because no sun roof. That's a panic buy/hard sell markup IMO.

Wow! Just doing a little math and figuring he financed $125k, that's like 11% interest. That's the kind of interest you pay when your credit score is in the 500s, but I would expect that if his score was that low, no one would loan that much.
I'm sorry, but that's nuts!
IMHO, affording a toy like this means you can point at the one you want and write a check. I understand some of the new trucks are $60k+ these days, and the vast majority finance them, but they aren't a toy like this is.
I do.
Those mark ups happened before they were announced. I agree, they suck but they are getting paid so it's worth it to someone. I don't think the price will come down.
Demon and the Demon 170 are not the same .

He has a CR of mid-600 or so. And I feel he got taken by his financing, but that's my opinion. I don't think he really shopped around for credit. SEVEN years! He couldn't wait to buy that car! At 10.75%, that level of debt is stupid for a vehicle you're not make income with, like a CC truck with a flatbed trailer or something like that. He's in his late 20s and single, so he's not supporting a family, anyway. More power to him, I suppose.

Personally, I don't really like these plastics/electronics/computers/whatever muscle cars very much, but, each to their own. If I had that much $ burning a hole in my pocket I'd rather get a '57 300C, with enough change left over for a super clean Imperial.
13 MPG ?
3C's & a D?

He had 20% cash down, a very modest trade-in, and has roommates. And yes, he is in that income range, most definitely!

Sub-prime lenders ready to seize that car if he's so much as 5 minutes late.
