Trying to buy a barely driven 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 without paying top dollar in the state of Texas is easier said than done. You’d need to be John Dutton or something, just in case the seller is willing to let themselves get charmed. Actually, you might want to let Beth Dutton do the negotiating for you. That way you might even get the car for free.
