      An almost new Challenger Hellcat was sold for significantly less than anticipated.

      This sale points to declining demand within the muscle car market.

      Even the sought-after Hellcats are beginning to feel the effects.

      Dodge is currently undergoing a transformation that does not include the Challenger. Those wanting a two-door muscle car might consider the new Charger SixPack, leaving enthusiasts of two-door V8s with a decision: embrace Dodge's future or explore the used market.

      For those opting for the latter, finds like this 2023 Hellcat may seem like a rare opportunity.

      More: Someone has kept this 1999 Camaro Z28 in pristine condition for 26 years.

      Listed on Bring A Trailer with only 47 miles on the clock, this is about as new as a 2023 Challenger SRT Hellcat gets. Additionally, this is a Jailbreak edition, meaning the original buyer had the chance to personalize many aspects. However, it appears they chose the most basic colors and finishes for some reason.

      Finished in Granite with a satin Black hood, this vehicle comes equipped with 20-inch forged Brass Monkey wheels, Gunmetal Gray Brembo brake calipers, and, naturally, a 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi V8.

      This powerful engine delivers an impressive 717 horsepower (535 kW) and 656 lb-ft (889 Nm) of torque sent to the rear wheels through an automatic transmission.

      Perhaps what this vehicle lacks is what diminishes its value. A manual transmission would likely have increased its appeal. One auction commenter noted another drawback: “The selling price is appropriate for this as it is non-widebody with very few extras.” They may have a point.

      Wide-body versions generally fetch a higher price. Other absent features, like the larger infotainment system, could have also affected its value. Nevertheless, the car still includes about $20,000 worth of options, such as the wheels, Alcantara seats, a premium sound system, a sunroof, and a spoiler.

      While it may not be the most distinctive car or the most powerful, it’s still a solid package. Furthermore, few vehicles provide this level of power for the price. If you’re seeking a two-door Dodge with a Hemi, this is one of the lowest-mileage examples recently on the market.

      Now could be the right time to start looking for a Challenger Hellcat before nostalgia drives prices up again.
