That's interesting. We got ours in October 2016 as a leftover 2015, I think it'd been on the lot for a year? Always figured it was leftover because of the sticker shock of the Hemi. shruggy Sticker was $52,000, they'd advertised it @ $42,000, when I called he knocked off another $1,000. That was the end of price negotiations. After that it was like the sound of a bearing race driven home, there's just no more room.


I can't speak for new cars or why one particular car did or did not sell but I mostly deal with newer chrysler products and almost universally any vehicle (charger, challenger, 300, aspen, duarango, jeep, 1/2 ton...)with the hemi option (except 2500 and 3500 pickups) the hemi sells for several thousand more and will not sit around near as long as a 6 cylinder. Even near the end of life when they have 350,000 miles and the car or truck is beat to crap a good running hemi truck will bring $5000-$6000and a car can still quickly bring $3000 when I can't give a 6 cylinder away of either, and it is not just my experience, I see V6 vehicles (where the hemi was optional) sit forever on craigslist or facebook when the hemi version gets snatched up a lot faster. It is a good engine but even better marketing.
