Based on what they are asking out here in California and the discounts on the Hellcats. People buy Hellcats.

What is this "discounts on Hellcats" of which you speak?

I believe the charger is build off the E-class platform which actually for a big car is surprisingly agile the W210 chassis however. My E is a W212

I m seeing 56-58K on new leftovers right now. The lease specials are no longer around because the 16's got a remapped residual but man are they out there and man are they cheap. Like 48K for a lightly used challanger of you want the stick. Autos are bringing easier sale but about the same money at least out here.

In reply to Jaynen :

That is a myth generated by poorly informed executives that thought connecting the charger to the e class would help sales. It actually did the opposite. They shared components like a Toyota Corolla shares parts with a Lexus, spark plugs, trim screws, one of the engine options maybe, a sway bar link etc. But not the chassis.

The charger is on its own platform shared with the Challenger(shortened) and 300. 

I probably would only buy a SS of the RWD models we have these days. If my Brother in law actually takes a job with GM as he is contemplating, I will ask if they have a good employee discount.

Ex-PD Cappies going for 10-12k with under 100k miles on them, with the 6.0.  Might have to think about that for a while...

Damn, move over P71, your days are numbered.  360hp 390lb/ft with uprated suspension for $12k is a bargain.  Also, who pulls over on the freeway for a Panther anymore?  Now, about those EcoBoost  ex-Police Explorers?

Local Roscoe P. Coltrane types still have Vickies.  I see them around my town.  Most of the Staties here use Tahoes, Exploders, Cappies, or the new AWD turbo Tauruses, which are also pretty badass.

Most of the Police Taurii that I see for sale are equipped with the NA v6, not the EcoBoost setup. Just FYI. But I'm a bit apprehensive to own a higher mileage DI/Forced induction car with tons of idling time anyway.

Last year my local for dealer had 2 Caprice black and whites for 8k each. Man was that tempting.

Agreed.  For the money, the nice, low-stress, big cube LS seems like a safer bet.

Even though I don't think they come with a manual and they are way too commonly seen, I would consider a hemi charger you would probably save some $$.
