Hi Hackrs,
I know it is a bit of a mess in the leasing world, I just sold my leased car with a 6k positive equity and another 3 year old owned car making it an effective 0.5% msrp monthly, ended up with a single car in the household considering a work from home world.
Well I am thinking of buying a Durango Hellcat. I just started to dig again after doing a quick market check a couple of months ago. At that time, dealers had Durango Hellcats in stock but none of them were willing to discount or even made a 10-20k markup “because everybody else did”. With all the chip shortage now and the rest of the mess, my current quick observations are the following… There are Durango Hellcats on the aggregator websites like Cargurus and Autotrader within 500 miles of my NC zipcode, but looking at the dealer websites I cannot find a single one in stocks. What is the deal with those? Are they all sold out? Are they all doing only special orders? Or is it realistic to find one at msrp or less? Any other observations from the community?
Considering it is Sunday and the end of the month, I would like to be educated when starting to contact those dealers Monday morning.
