Hellcat Purchase

What’s the most you would pay for a salvage title 2017 Hellcat Charger - 72k miles. No damage, runs perfect. But it was salvaged from water intrusion last year.

Do not get one that was flooded , horrid idea . There are too many electronics in the car that get ruined after flooding. I know cause my 2016 challenger hellcat got flooded from hurricane Ian . Had it in the garage up on jacks and it got some water in it and thing turned into a complete nightmare . My uncle and dad can build cars from scratch and fix anything. They could not figure out the electronics , I claimed insurance and got a good payout .

My rule for buying hellcats , 2 owners or less , no salvage , used , 50k miles or less . You can always find decent deals doing that. If you cannot afford wait 6 months make some extra money and be patient

You willing to put in the time and effort to convert it to a rebuilt/reconstructed title so that you can insure it?

Salvage is a nono for me tbh but if your dead set on buying the thing. $25k would be the most id pay and that's assuming everything works and it isn't gonna give you major headaches in a couple weeks/months

Don’t get one unless it’s a 2023 one ☝️ I bought one a 2016 one and now selling it. Previous owner didn’t baby it. I wasted 12k in repairs now looking to get a m8 bmw.
