Want A Dodge Demon TODAY? Get Prepared For The $55,000 Mark UP!

One of the most wild vehicles being produced today isn't the Lamborghini Huracan Performante or the something like the Bugatti Chiron. If anything, those autos are predictable.

We know they're going to be built.

When Fiat Chrysler Automobiles decided to get even nuttier than the already insane Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat though, that's when we were a bit astonished. That's because no one was really asking for the Demon. 

But, the folks at Dodge had something to prove. Well, one thing's certain: It accomplished whatever it set out to do.

As you can imagine, there's a lot of folks that want in on this limited edition vehicle. With just over 3,000 units to be built, it seems one of the first recipients has more of a business-like approach to the situation.

That's because they're trying to flip it for about $55,000 MORE than the Demon's $85,000 base price. 

Is it worth $140,000 though? To acquire a fully loaded version with the Demon crate? Seems like $140,000 could go a long way, Spies...

As @MD has said there is always somebody who just has to have something. If you have it and they are willing to meet your price, it should be a sale every time.

I'd love to have a Demon to price gouge. Alas, I have none. I also wonder if this will be like the Hellcat where FCA said "This will be a limited-edition, short-run product." only to retract and say "What the hell. Build as many Hellcats as can be sold."

If they were smart they would choose the middle option and do a short run each year. Perhaps slightly different each time. IE colour, options, etc.

With FCA so desperate for cash, I predict more Demons will be made.

Years ago I taught my sons how to buy a hot car. At the first mention of a hot car coming in a few years, walk into a dealer, put $500 down on it and get your receipt in writing stating the price at MSRP. Some times you have to search out an uninformed dealer but its not hard. Recent example...my one son did this with a dealer 500 miles away and got one of the first Hellcats. He's done the same with the Demon and it being delivered this week. Only once have we had to threaten to sue the dealer to honor their commitment and he caved in after a few heated discussions. The only problem is that you always want to keep the car and usually do.

If you can find a dealer that dumb, then I say do it. The way we handle deposits is ONLY to guarantee a place on the list with the price negotiable. If you're #1 on the list and the #1 car is not what you want, you either buy that car or we refund and you lose your place. If the customer wants the car a price is not reached, we refund the deposit. We also won't take a deposit as low as $500. The deposit is set (1) based on the likely MSRP and (2) high enough that we know the person is serious. $500 can be found in the pocket of any village idiot.

It's called the free market, deal with it.
