As it turns out, some Dodge dealers and Challenger homeowners seem to be squandering everything while still asking exorbitant costs for their powerhouse cars. And we’re not just talking about the Demon 170; they’re asking up to $385,000 for models other than Demon Hellcat Redeye. Let’s take a closer look at the available cars, marked with six digits that we discovered only on Autotrader.
Dealerships and dealerships may try to hide their greedy and shady pricing tactics, but at Autotrader they want to be transparent. This allowed us to have a clear and crisp view of what they want for those cars. The starting gun is a used Demon 170 indexed as Hellcat Redeye for $286,631. That’s about double the car’s likely MSRP.

Three other Demon 170s are offering prices of $299,000 and this time, all three are “new. “Thereafter, each car costs more than double its original MSRP, adding one in California for $300,000, another lightly used model in Georgia for $312,000, and a $321,000 car in New Jersey. These dealers don’t think it will be difficult for them to sell those cars at prices as high as those charged through online auction platforms.
We’ve counted about two dozen examples of Demon 170 costing more than $200,000, but that’s perhaps not the most shocking part. Some Challenger Hellcat Redeye owners also ask for this type of money for their cars. The owner of a used 2023 Hellcat Widebody coupe needs $330,000 for their car.
Admittedly, they left the plastic for the next customer to peel off. Is it worth the extra $200,000 on MSRP? It’s even the maximum estimate that isn’t Demon 170 on this list. That honor goes to a “new” Hellcat Redeye in Vermont with a starting value of $390,000!
There’s also one indexed for $449,990, but while it doesn’t seem to be mentioned in the description, a stop on the dealership’s site shows that this is a pair of matching purple 2023 Demon 170s, so we’ll pass this one by. Because we’ve noticed much worse things here.
In the most egregious example of profit here, a salesman offers his used Demon 170 with 501 miles on the clock for $399,999. This is the highest value we have found and the images included in the directory are disappointing. Except for the ones where they present the Demon 170 at an auto show.
What is the exorbitant maximum value that can be found lately for a Dodge Challenger -Demon or not-?
