The concessionaires are known for their cookies, but in this case, we have managed to undergo a loss on a new Dodge Durango Hellcat
–>
- A lucky buyer picked up a brand new Durango 2024 with 25 miles for $ 81,500 at auction.
- He has only 25 miles and the dealer who sold him initially planned to keep it like a collector’s room.
- Now, the Stelllantis dealer has evolved and bought a 2025 edition to lock and never drive.
It is not a secret that the dealers have always released for their book of marking flesh whenever the opportunity arises. Sticker price? Simply a suggestion. But from time to time, the tables run, and when they do, the result can be downright entertaining. In this case, a Stelllantis dealer in New York has just taken a substantial financial blow, not the genre that you raise your shoulders.
We are talking about tens of thousands of dollars lost because the original owner apparently planned to hide this Dodge Durango SUV as a collection object, only to change your mind and the auctions instead.

Notice, it’s not just any old Dodge Durango, but a Hellcat SRT 2024. The Hellrango, as some fans call it, launches 710 horsepower and 645 LB-PI (873 nm) of his 6.2-liter hemi V8 torque. It sends this power to four wheels via an eight -speed automatic gearbox with Dodge demanding a supercar from 0 to 60 MPH (96 km / h) in 3.5 seconds. It is not only a pony in a turn either, because it has three rows of seats and can tow up to 8,700 pounds!
These reasons are the reason why the PDSF on this exact car was $ 112,880, including $ 15,290 of optional equipment such as the Premium Package 2xy and Black package, as well as a destination load of $ 1,595.
The photos bring a trailer
However, despite all this, the Empire Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealer ended up letting him go for only $ 81,500 with only 25 miles on the clock. To put this in perspective, this sale price makes it less than the original PDSF of the Durango Hellcat when it is launched in 2021.
Regarding the auctions, he apparently stolen under the radar when he gathered only 17 comments and an equal number of offers. The day the auction ended, the auctions could only $ 60,500. At 9:37 a.m., he checked up to $ 80,000 and barely moved before the hammer’s fall. It is a strange result, but a good indication that the offers are always there.

This made this Durango sells at this price could very well be due to the actions of the concessionaire. The one who decided to publish it on brought a trailer did not seem to worry about details. The photos are amateur, the wheels do not have central traffic jams, and they did not take the time to remove the plastic long enough to show buyers the padding – although, to be fair, it could actually work in its favor as proof that it has not been affected.
But hey, the loss of a man in the gain of another man, right? In this case, a very big gain from the winning tenderer who obtained one of the last HEMI V8s currently on sale for what is equivalent to a fairly heavy discount. Sometimes it only takes a poorly executed list and a little patience.
H / T to Jason!
