I have a jeep srt 2012 and it is my daily driver. No major issues, love driving it everyday, has 92,000 miles on it, mods in my signature, and is out of warranty....i usually start looking for a new car when I get close to 100,000 miles as value drops after this milestone. Looking for advice on what to do at this time as I refuse to pay over MSRP on principle alone.

1). Keep driving current car, mileage will go over 100,000, take a chance with repairs, and when trackhawk fever dies in 2019, buy the trackhawk.

2). Trade in for a jeep srt 2017 or more recent year under warranty, drive it until trackhawk fever dies, trade for trackhawk.

3). Trade in for Durango srt until trackhawk fever dies, trade in for trackhawk.

4). Keep current jeep, buy little sports car to drive now and keep mileage down, trade both for trackhawk when fever dies. We have bad winters so I need jeep but other times sports car will do.

5). Bite bullet, Buy trackhawk over MSRP and ADM.

Thanks ahead of time

Option 5. The itch/fever will never die, it will grow exponentially with time. You will lose $$ anyways when you trade in the 2017 SRT(Jeep/Durango) for the TH.

MopargarageLA..

Here you go putting words in my mouth. Some people will do anything for validation.

I'm not suggesting or endorsing that you buy mass produced cars at over MSRP. YOU are.
I never said I bought anything over MSRP. Many people do to keep up with the Joneses and that's a fact that can't be disputed.

By comparing to apples to apples. In other words you are suggesting that the trackhawk just like the hellcat, would be a mass produced Vehicle and wouldn't hold its value.
Yes im comparing Hellcat to Trackhawk. I thought that was pretty clear when I posted .."It's called comparing apples to apples (Hellcats to Trackhawks)." BINGO Point to you.

Now that's a stupid financial decision if you buy a mass produced car by paying adm. You are talking about the HC experience. They are not limited production cars. Sorry if you got burnt paying ADM.
Another fallacy.

Haven't you started "who cares about the demon" thread on another forum as well? Lol.
Nope. I'm only active on this Jeep Forum.

You cannot be in denial of the Demon and Trackhawk and if they are limited or Halo cars, they will most likely command ADM whether we like it or not.
If limited production of course they will demand more money now and over time. I see the Demon being similar to Chevys COPO Camaro but I don't see the same for the Trackhawk.

Moving on ...

First up: I wasn't putting "words" into your mouth, merely pointing out the generalizations in your post. If people want to keep up with the Joneses or the Smiths more power to them. Their money...their problems.

That's the gist of the entire exchange. Just because you don't see the TH the same way, doesn't mean that others don't. I am also done with the useless back/forth. Those who want the TH will get one irrespective of what others think.

I moved on long time ago....still don't understand why I even bothered to respond to be honest. Lol.

PS: Sorry for thinking that you were on another forum. There is another "Silver Billet" (same username like yours)on Hellcat org who is currently bashing the Demon. Lmao!!!
