At just north of sixty grand, the Hellcat is a bargain for it’s power output. But one would think that people would straight-up buy their Charger or Challenger…while sixty large isn’t a small amount, it’s a fairly reasonable and attainable one. Dodge doesn’t seem to think so, as it has been revealed that you can, indeed, lease one of these monsters. Think about that, you can essentially Rent-a-Hellcat.
Above all else, why the hell would you lease one? I want to see the man who will be willing to return the car to Dodge after having enjoyed a few years with the car. I refuse to believe that when the time is up that he will happily turn the keys over and say, “That was fun. Hey, how about that Town and Country?”
The guys at Jalopnik posted the lease payment schedule. Take note of the phrase, “A security deposit may be required.” “May“?! Anything less than full-price as a safety precaution is eye-raising. But there is a silver lining: In a couple of years there should be a beat within an inch of it’s life slightly used Hellcat that might be within my range.
“One-owner, slightly used.”
Lessors will probably need enough funds equal to the lease payments for new tires!
60 grand is still mostly fat old guy money. As long as they don’t let their teenage sons borrow it, the cars will come back never having tasted triple-digit speeds.
Hey…..I’m an old guy. Not too fat. I routinely have my Corvette into the triple digits on the 4-lane. Punk kids….get off my lawn! 🙂
