Technically, he doesn't say it only has 12k miles on it. Definitely seems like he's being intentionally vague on that point. Regardless, that doesn't look like a $16k car to me.

It wouldn't be worth 10k in its shape even if it was a Chevelle imo. Id bet money it's not the correct engine

I got rid of my Hellcat on Monday. I'll post some pics of my new toy soon. It is a 2017 Grand Sport.

Well I got my car back on the road last weekend and the Fuel Injection is starting to really get lined out. Running much leaner and smoother.
You can hop in and hit the start button (car has push button ignition with RF key fob) with out touching the gas and it fires and idles right up to 1000rpm. That's pretty cool for a 50+ year old car. Still plan to get some boost added before long which should push it to 750-800HP fairly easily and dependably. Was thinking turbo but looks like a ProCharger P1SD is going to be it. |

It's hard to explain. The Hellcat will probably be my favorite car that I ever own. A lot of my driving is just around town, running errands etc. The Hellcat wasn't good for that. It's 707 horses felt like it wanted unleashed at all times. It just didn't like to be driven slowly. I realized that I rarely drove it because I wasn't relaxed driving it.
The Vette has a removable top and is fast enough for me. It is extremely relaxing to drive, which is good for me because I'm pretty tightly wound. Again, I LOVED the HC but it wasn't a good fit for me. |

A side note about the last two vehicles I traded in. I drove my 13 Raptor for three years and got 3k less than I paid. I drove the Hellcat for a year and a half and got 3k less than I paid. Unfortunately, the Grand Sport will depreciate much faster.

Im reminded of a story told by one of my customers. He's a huge Ford GT lover and he collects them. He was able to score a sweet deal on a new Ford GT (they had JUUUST been introduced) because the original owner had it for about a month. The original owner chirped the tires a bit too much just while doing some daily driving, and he lost control, almost putting it into a stop light. After that, the owner was too scared to drive it. He didn't want anything to do with car and my customer flew to Canada and bought essentially a brand new Ford GT at a well discounted price. It was simply too much car for the original owner. Hell, we deal with that at our shop. In terms of power, there's what customers THINK they want, and then what customers ACTUALLY want. Last edited by ToxSocks; 08-18-2016 at 03:00 PM.. |
