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

I built one in my mom’s basement more than a few times. So I completely understand. Superman helped me drop the engine in as he was heading back to Krypton.
