Man bought new Charger Hellcat Jailbreak for $87k but came to a realization after 500 miles and wanted rid

In a case of extreme buyer’s remorse, this US man who bought a new Charger Hellcat Jailbreak for $87,437 changed his mind pretty quickly.

In fact, he was only 500 miles down the road when he decided to move on.

This 2023 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody Jailbreak model was purchased new from a dealership in Michigan.

However, it’s already up for grabs again.

The price of the Charger Hellcat Jailbreak

While not a base Hellcat nor a Redeye, it recently failed to sell at auction.

Its highest bid maxed out at $63,750.

While we wouldn’t expect used Chargers to hit their original MSRP – the manufacturer’s suggested retail price – has a few good things that are working in its favor to push its value skyward.

First up, it’s only been driven 487 miles (783km).

Per comments on the ad, the seller expected to get at least $70,000.

However, at 717 horsepower compared to the Redeye Jailbreak putting out 797 horsepower as a regular-width car, and 807KP in its Widebody configuration – that seemed unlikely.

Seems that a silver rather than a black badge under the hood puts a ceiling on the price.

Seems these cars are always viewed as investment opportunities with one man buying the cheapest Dodge Hellcat in the US despite its issues.

In similar news, this man took a chance on a stolen Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, but opening it revealed its true story.

What the almost-new car has to offer

Per its Bring A Trainer listing, the 2020 Widebody boasts 3.5” worth of width compared to the narrow body Charger.

As well as its HP, the supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8 puts down 650lb-ft of torque sent to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission.

It also boasts the Granite colorway, a performance hood with a central intake, rear spoiler, LED headlights, and rear parking sensors.

Not enough, it has a set of 20” 10-spoke alloy wheels that are fitted with Pirelli P Zero tires and orange calipers.

Take a seat inside, and you’ll be cocooned by black Laguna leather seats that are heated, ventilated, power-adjustable, and fitted with Demonic Red seatbelts.

The cabin also features carbon fiber touches, heated rear seats, an Alcantara steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control, SRT floor mats, and a Harman Kardon sound system.

Dodge has launched a special anniversary model Hellcat – but it’s not cheap.
