What are you all paying?

[CRS2879]

I agree to disagree here. Do you know how FCA is able to produce so many high hp vehicles while other manufacturers have to build hybrids to maintain certain emissions standards across the whole line? Well they already said the Durango hellcat will be one year only. With Cafe laws changing in the next year I believe the Durango is a sign of the future. Without getting political, 1 of two possibilities will happen concerning the TRX and either way, the signs point to increasing value in the coming years. Especially if it's only a year, maybe two of production. Besides, they wouldn't badge a "massed produced" vehicle unless they knew there was a reason. I believe the TRX is a investment opportunity, at least more so than most new vehicles. You just have to be mindful of what's happening with the industry as a whole. ?

History just doesn't back-up a TRX being an investment. Sure, there are some quote "production" vehicles that have appreciated in value but they were very, very low volume.....Buick GNX, Ford GT, Hellcat Demon, to name a few. I don't disagree that engines like the Hellcat are not long for the world. If, IF the TRX somehow turns out to be a 1 year run, then maybe, MAYBE they'll hold value but if there's 5,000+ units produced, that's not particularly rare and I've not seen any mass-produced vehicle, in the last 30 years, with those kinds of production numbers becoming truly collectible to the point of price appreciation. But hey, it's everyone's money to spend how they wish......cheers right back at you!

PS....I will concede that the LE trucks, at only 702 units, may well be like the Demon and appreciate....I'm talking about non-LE trucks.

I am just trying to have a fun truck. I dont give a crap if it increases in value. I am not a collector, I am a driver. My cars always get taken to the track, my trucks and jeeps that I have owned all get taken off road. I like cars and trucks and I want to have cool ones. I am willing to bet that the TRX will hold its resale better than many other trucks, in line with what has been seen with the raptor, but if it doesnt I wont really care.

Also, I owned a vehicle produced in the last 30 years that I sold to a dealership for a profit over what I bought it new for. 2011 Trail Teams Special Edition FJ Cruiser in army green. Bought it new in 2011 for $27500, sold it to a dealer in 2016 with 16k miles on it for $35k. I know that is one case, and YMMV, but look at the value of those things and tell me that they haven't appreciated.

Anyway, not everything is a collectable. Sometimes you need to take the action figure out of the package and use it for its intended purpose.

I haven't bought yet, but my Raptor just burst into flames last night. So I need something ASAP. So far everything is $15k over MSRP (for normal TRX) and $25k over for LE. I am loving everything I am reading about the TRX but paying that much markup is really hard to stomach... I'm in Colorado. Any advice?

Yeah find our thread with the Msrp dealers. No need to pay any Adm. Even if you have to travel, I promise you it will be worth it. Cheers.

Call Chauncey Lee at 4053266882. Has a white one coming in that the buyer backed out on, at MSRP.

Tell him Scott sent ya

Definitely look around. I found a dealer in Nebraska that would sell me a LE for MSRP. No one locally would (AZ). Cost me $1k to have it shipped. Should finally be here Wednesday.

Took me a week of casually looking at just this forum to find a truck I liked at sticker. I bought from Chuck Prohaska at Sterling Heights CJDR. Easy transaction and they seem to get quite a few trucks. They have posted at least 8-10 trucks at msrp on this forum. I know of 2 forum members that also bought from him.

basically watch the classifieds, active threads and call around. Be ready to move quick when the right one shows up.
