Eh.

I mean, if you lease, you end up with nothing. At least at the end of the finance period, you'll have your own car.

I see your point but I do want to remind you....

A friend of mine frequently leases cars that are out of his purchase range. Once they've depreciated they're cheap enough to purchase at around the same price as the lease payment

It's a way of getting something you can't normally afford and you know who the previous owner was when you buy it.

I'm with one of the guys a few threads above, not buying a car that's half the value of my home. I've made a lot of poor life choices but getting car poor was never one of them.

I don't think anyone paid that for one. They probably all did like everyone here, got 10k under Msrp and the dealers daughters phone number.

I know a guy that had to have one when they first hit the lots....he paid $83k..

You'd be surprised. A lot of people paid above MSRP for these.

So, within a short time of graduating college, the 25 year old OP has owned an SS Camaro, Mustang GT, and now a Hellcat. Losing thousands and thousands every time a car was traded in or totaled.

Hmmmmmmmm........

To the OP.... Enjoy the car. Many people have their own opinions, few can say they have even touched one in person.
We have dealt with a few hellcats and are fun to drive to say the least. Enjoy it and be safe !!!!

Dodge has got too many Hellcats sitting in inventory.
Demon in cue doesnt help either, I'm sure.

$600 per month to beat on a 707hp car with a warranty for 2 or 3 years...then walk away.

I feel for the people that bought these for $75-80k not too long ago.

When I got mine there were no discounts so I paid msrp, I'm okay with it though, this car just brings smiles for days.

Oh and to everyone complaining about the weight, the hell at has 6.2 lbs per hp and the Mustang gt has 8.5 lbs per hp so in reality the Hellcat is not that bad.

Always a payment and the very thing that made the economy crash in 2008.
No thanks. I'll stay within my price range. No need to impress anyone but myself.
I tend to keep cars a long time though.

I guess so, but lease terms and buying out at the end of the lease varies greatly. I know a few people who didn't buy the cars after the lease period because it was still too expensive. I guess the real point here is to live within your means, if you have to lease to do that and drive what you want, then I get it. I'm one of those people that just saves up until I know I can afford it comfortably, and I don't switch cars all that often. Hence why I'm finally buying one this year after wanting one since they debuted it in Dec 2013, and why I've owned the same Mustang for.... 12 years now. :shrug:

Graduated with a finance degree (240k paid all with scholarships). got my v6 Camaro for 20k and got 23k for it when it was totaled. Got my GT 10k under sticker enjoyed it for a year traded it in for 2k less than what I paid. Hellcat leased at a ridiculous price.

I am not trying to brag about it but don't just start shitting on people before you know all the facts lol :cheers:.
