New Hellcat. No options. $54,490 net of the $6,000 "2021 National Retail Consumer Cash 21CM1".
For whatever reason I can't order a standard Hellcat in Canada. The choices go from the Scatpack 392 Widebody right to the Hellcat Redeye (in price ranking, lowest first). Considering that they are all built in Brampton, Ontario (and hour and a half down the road from me) it seems very odd. Can't order a Superstock either.
In any event the 717HP standard Hellcat "stripper" (no options, manual transmission) seems like a Hell of a Deal (if you will excuse the pun). $54,900 is just under $70,000 $Canadian at today's exchange rate. Cheapest used Hellcat on Autotrader in Canada right now is a 2016 with 50,000 kilometers on it (that's 30,000 miles to you) and it's at $60,000 $Canadian (call that $47,000 $US). For that difference why would you buy used?
I am sorely tempted to order one. My reluctance (other than the fact that I can't ACTUALLY order a Hellcat in Canada right now) has to do with colours: no Plum Crazy (they've got something called Hellraisin which is a dark purple) or Sublime (or whatever they called it a few years ago). Those are the only two colours I would consider.
I could, of course, buy a used one: there are a couple Plum Crazy used ones for sale on Autotrader in Canada, and BOTH are more than the $70,000 that a new Hellcat would cost!
I'm going to wait and see what Chrysler does next. It makes no difference really whether I buy a Hellcat this year, next year or not at all. I love my minivan (yes, I admit it - cheap, great gas mileage, and hauls just about anything - I replaced my truck with one) and am on the hunt for the perfect B Body (preferably a '68 Charger). And once the snow is over I can drive my '73 Imperial to get my old car fix until the right car comes around.
