    Great video but I have Quick Correction for you. The 2023 Durango Hellcat isn’t a Last Call vehicle. Only the Challengers and Chargers are “Last Call” for 2023. Durango could be back for 2024 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️. Stay Tuned.

    BUSTED ! You reviewed a 2021 Durango Hellcat, not a 2023. Tons of between differences between the 2021 and 2023 especially with the Black Suede interior. If this was a 2023, the Black Suede interior is part of the Base package… which doesn’t have the Carbon Fiber Trim, Harmon Kardon stereo or Red Seat beats. Also , all the 2023s will only have SRT on the seats vs SRT with Hellcat Logo and none will have the Suede Headliner like this 2021… Lastly the 2023 Durango isn’t a “Last Call” vehicle… Only the Challengers & Chargers are “Last Call” with the Engine Bay plaque.

    The rich guy that bought this Hellcat Durango brand new, did it right. He probably paid $85k - $90k for it, beat the hell out of it for 3 years, and then sold it back to a dealer for probably $75k, before any serious mechanical problems started showing up.

    Got enough to buy one but can't find them and haven't been able to get information from dealers about them for months and am now being told they're all spoken for. Dodge hasn't given much information on the new colors only that "they are releasing late 23' " and I've gotten convoluted information on the interior options for it. Trying to find and buy a Durango Hellcat has been a shitshow since last year and now i assume I'm going to be unable to get one unless I fly down to a city with big money.

    Why is the base model so high in price? The 21' was $73K or $77K base model, the TrackHawk was $88K, which made me remember, what the big difference in price was for? The Jeep always looked much better than the Dodge, to me? Much rather have either, than a Yukon or larger SUV for $80K? My house cost me $100K, but told the wife, I could sleep in the sleeper Durango, and sell the house?

      The base MSRP in 2021 was 80k, most were optioned out well so the majority were in the 90s for MSRP. I am a little envious of your house if it was only 100k. Where I am 100k might get you a shed on a small lot, pretty sure I’ve seen trailer homes going for 130-140k.

    Would this make sense as an investment? I think not. You have to pay for insurance unless you do cash totally and park it away. Dealer mark up (about 10K) and another 10K for TTL and fees . After 10 years the insurance alone would eat about 50K To make money after 10 years you would have to sell it for 200K. Add another 20% for interest on the loan if you are financing it. Now it added up to 90K over the MSRP So you really need 200K to break even. Worse, such cars will likely be outlawed in 10 years or sooner. This is for guys who just happened to have 100K+ who want to get rid of it in a hurry. Besides you are making all that noise at street light revving the engine and then a Honda Civic from the year 2030 on battery steroids outraces you
