      Correct . Almost any car is a bad investment and should not be purchased as such

      People bought them as investments though and paid stupid markups because they believe this. I don’t care either way. That’s the reality of it though. 1970/71 ain’t happening again for mopars. They’d actually be worth something if they were sold at MSRP and enjoyed as cars before being treated as “investments”. It doesn’t help that Hellcat has been produced in good quantities over the years. The current Challenger body style alone has been in production for 15 years.

      Why would you trade a 21 for a 23 of the exact same car?.. Just wondering, since they have been virtually unchanged since they were introduced in 2015.. I bought a brand new Redeye Challenger in 2019 when they had the Dodge Power Dollars discount going on.. it was $10 per horsepower discount.. I paid $66,800 bucks after all the rebates ect.. I was planning on just getting a regular Hellcat, but the redeye was so cheap and I figured it would be much more desirable if I needed to unload it for some reason.. Its now paid off and I most likely will plan to enjoy it for a long time coming.. Its sad to see people paying as much as I spent on a Redeye for a Scat.. Geez that is crazy!!

This year I decided to sell the '21 and got 100% what I paid for it MINUS 24 months of insurance payments. So yeah, I lost money. I do believe I could have made money on it if I would have waited a few more years, especially since it was parked/stored with zero miles, HOWEVER, I would likely make more by buying precious metals or with some other investments.

    I currently have a Redeye Widebody being shipped from Phoenix to Fairbanks, Alaska. Window sticker in '19 was $94K, bank just valued it at $74K, and I got it for $60K, mostly because I feel the auto broker didn't have it advertised very well, and I jumped on it the day they listed it. I'm going to drive it whenever I can (which I realize won't be often), and if it eventually goes the way of the '70 Hemi 'Cuda, then so be it. If it doesn't, I still get to say I have a Go Mango Satin Black SRT Challenger Hellcat Redeye Widebody. I'm "investing" in Smiles Per Gallon. 😉

I like having the Last Call badge and the extra 10 horse power that's why I did it to have something slightly out of the ordinary.

Today I own several vehicles, but I haven't bought a brand new vehicle since March of 2021 (that was a Polaris Slingshot). The last brand new passenger vehicle I bought was in March of 2020, that was a Chevy Silverado LT Trail Boss 6.2L for about 61K, and since then the prices have shot up dramatically.

    I started with a 2015 SRT 8 challenger. It was a manual and fast as hell. I loved it but it wasn't a hellcat. I bought a 2018 hellcat widebody. One of 135 in Torred. I drive it every day despite high maintenance, high gas prices (I was paying $6.00 a gallon in Vegas at one point) and the risk of getting it stolen. Technically, it's a rare car but why should I put it away for someone else to enjoy down the road. My point is enjoy it now while you can. Who knows what tomorrow will bring?

    I ordered my '21 Charger Hellcat at sticker for 0% financing right before the economy went into the dumpster. Never bought it as an investment as it is my daily driver and I love every time I get to drive it. When the economy seemed to be getting worse, I took it to Carmax just to see what they would give me. They offered me 65k when I had less than 10k miles on it. Needless to say, I laughed all the way out of the dealership and I'm still enjoying it today. I thought that maybe IF they actually do discontinue the Hellcat that the value would go up, then I would have the option to sell it for profit if I chose to. Still, seeing as I bought it to drive, it doesn't matter much to me.

      A collector car doesn't become a collector car just because the manufacturer says it's a collector car. Jaguar didn't put out the XKE and say it was a collector edition. Buick didn't put out the GNX and say it was a collector edition. It's just something that happens when a car ages and enough people figure out it is rare and special.

      The GNX makes a good example for an analysis.
      So they're worth roughly 3.5x what they stickered for. Thirty-five years later, it's made a profit of $72k. But over that thirty-five years, inflation has eaten up $47k of that $72k, leaving $27k of actual profit today. And how much of that $27k has been eaten up by maintenance costs, storage costs, insurance costs, etc.? Let's be generous and say only $7k, leaving you with $20K of real world profit after thirty-five years on the original $28k investment.
      That works out to be about a 2.5% average annual return. If my 401k made that little, I'd be majorly pissed off.
      And the values have really risen in the last decade. If you did this analysis ten years ago, when they were 25 years old, you wouldn't have even beaten inflation.

    Ironically if you do not drive these super charged cars casually or even occasionally you will be paying for it further down the line because parts that were meant to be broken in properly were not as the manufacturer intended them to be. So as a result you either stuck completely reserving and or risking the value going down the second you either break the engine in or start the car and drive down the road more than 30 seconds. i have a ford Taurus 2017 it hates when you just get in and drive it without letting the transmission or engine warm up first so i let it warm up first but if you noticed on a cold day when you only let your engine warm up but don't drive the car and cut it off and come back start the vehicle but the oil temp goes back down but then you turn the engine over drive more than 30 seconds cut the engine and start it back the oil temp will stay warm. it's because the parts requiring heat and liquid to pass through got the adequate amount and as a result are pretty much on standby for immediate use. I belive this theory applies to super and turbo charges cars once they are broken in or used occasionally. But i also believe you can strike a happy medium. Get a daily driver and garage, get an honest mechanic and rack, a good body shop and detailer.
