Help me out: Red Eye information

[DavidKFla]

If they're sellin it that cheap..makes you wonder what they paid for it...the last owner coulda done better on a private sale...unless of course there are issues with the car

What difference does it make what the dealer paid for it? Many dealers will trade for low dollars so they can flip it quickly whether it's a retail sale or auction.

Sure..but the seller left too much on the table...

Not if the car isn't within their normal market.

 

[1971demon]

And you didn't hit them back? Fuck that.

They were Franciscan Priests..@ 15 hittin a priest was a sure ticket to Hell

Could be...but i would have that car checked top to bottom...

It still has the pink splitter protector!

Well, that should bring it down to $72K.

Exactly

And that leads to the next question: anyone in New Jersey want to go check it out?

 

[DavidKFla]

Exactly

You shouldn't buy it then. If you don't know what you are looking at or have doubts about the quality of the car then move on.

Send me a link to the posting, please.

Have some doubts but not rally any more than any other used sports car. We will see. Never hurts to look. And I am notoriously conservative in such.matters.

Every car has a soul. It will tell you what it is.

Every dealer I know will try to buy as low as possible and then sell as high as possible. If they got it low because the seller was an idiot isn't their problem, it's not like they will get a guilty conscience trying to get extra profit on a deal I have not seen Hellcat widebody redeye Chargers in the $70s. I am not combing the listings though like some of you may be...

Good luck to @Magnified hope you find a good one!

I just looked and found a few. 1 possible good deal in New Jersey on a Connecticut car.

Also, What is the status on the chip shortage? I believe the hellcat and red eye would be top priority items but do we know if any had joined the parking lots full of nearly nearly finished vehicles waiting only on chips? Still prefer to buy new but not paying ridiculous pricing. If there is a pent up supply just waiting on chips would be nice to know. Might bring market a little more back into balance.

I’m sure it was run hard and put away wet! You already suspect it had a fender bender for some reason? You’d better get on a plane and check it out yourself. You live too far away to be a tire kicker on a car in NJ and I doubt if you would really trust anyone else to check it out for you for that much money. I thought you were going for a Tesla plaid anyways?

Gotta have something to listen to while waiting at the airport.

man...... @Jimmy N. ...you are on FIRE!!!

I did some online snooping, is this it?

Note: THEFT RECOVERY

It'd possible that anything in this price class may be the same.

 

[Magnified]

That's not it. That's the gray that I am not interested in. The other is white. I suspect theft recovery as well

Ok on the white one, it's pretty clear that the splitter protector is hiding some major scrapes.
The one wheel has a bunch of scrapes too. Can't tell but the fenderwell behind the front wheel might have some overspray, or could just be very dirty.
The rotor doesn't appear to have any slots, maybe replaced already, or just hidden behind the spokes? The slots are pretty sparse on the latest rotors are they not?
