Dodge Challenger Demon 170 With Delivery Miles Sells for $152,000, Next Stop $140K Range?

The market for flagship spec Challengers has softened a lot in recent weeks. It almost feels as though there is an oversupply of Demon 170 models, which of course there isn’t since it’s a limited production model. Yet, a new one pops up at auction just about every day, which just goes to show how many people (and dealerships) ordered them only to later flip them for profit.

At the same time, people are absolutely fed up with having to overpay for non-premium/non-luxury models just because of their horsepower figure. What I mean by that is that there isn’t a great deal of difference between a “regular” Challenger SRT Hellcat and the SRT Demon 170, except for how much of a punch they pack.

Visually and quality-wise, they are the same vehicle, yet people will have you spend twice as much on the latter. Literally twice as much (on the used car market).

Things are getting better though. Case in point, this 19-mile example in Triple Nickel. It sold for $152k, as previously stated, whereas an identical one (same paint, 25 miles on the clock) didn’t sell for $162k last month. What a difference a few weeks makes, right?

Aside from the silver exterior, this Challenger also comes with an Air-Grabber hood (satin black), more satin black on the roof and rear decklid, Air-Catcher HID headlights, an SRT Performance rear spoiler with an integrated rearview camera, plus black 18” and 17” alloy wheels with Mickey Thompson tires and black Brembo calipers.

Meanwhile, interior highlights include the black Alcantara and Laguna leather front seats and rear bench (the former heated and ventilated), carbon fiber trim, Demonic Red seat belts, dual-zone climate control, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, an Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel, plus tons of goodies courtesy of the Premium Group (suede headliner, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-path detection, an 18-speaker Harman Kardon sound system).

Then there’s the dashboard plaque that identifies this Demon 170 as #1,591. It’s just below the passenger air vent, although frankly they could have found a better place for it, don’t you think? Like, how about the bottom of the steering wheel, or below the infotainment screen?

As for the high-output 6.2-liter Hemi V8, it’s got a 3.0-liter supercharger in addition to its revised fueling system components. You get 900 horsepower and 810 lb-ft of torque on conventional E10 fuel, while an E85 mixture allows you to unlock the full 1,025 horsepower and 945 lb-ft of torque.
