Gonna be hard to flip a JB because the only draw of the JB is ordering one the way you want it.

With comparatively overpriced options, or strange combinations.

I would say if you Tastefully built the JB and held the bag for 24 months, it may have good equity!
Honestly though the jailbreak is overpriced to begin with from fca, couple that with the fact that it's only cosmetically different than a redeye and I don't see the allure.

I'm sitting on 10k worth of equity on my charger hellcat and it has been in my possession for no more than 5 days. Why should I wait 24 months when I have instant equity in 5 days.

5% below invoice on a hc/redeye is a better deal than a jailbreak at msrp in my opinion.

If fca had treated the jb like they did the hc/re and offered it as open ordering as opposed to allocation and had given it a realistic money factor then I would have definitely ordered the jailbreak but they did this funky stuff and the value proposition just wasn't worth it imo.

I'll take an m5 comp over a jailbreak any day of the week, at least my 100k car doesn't have an interior that a 2015 v6 rental car has.

Not only that....unless you bought it on an open MSO ..and didn't pay tax on purchase...your already into 6 figures (lofty territory)...how much meat ya think is left on the bone..I don't think there is ten grand to be made on a flip..now if power dollars and 5% under invoice were the order of the day..we have something....I just don't see value here...after all....it's just a RE

I'm at 6-10k equity with 5 below invoice on a hc. Power dollars hurt equity more than they helped imo.

But yeah spot on, a jailbreak at msrp is no deal at all, it's only attractive because some dealers want 5,10,15, even 30k+ adm.

Might be different if you could get exclusive colors. Interiors and such. All they did was strip the option packages from the Redeye models and only make them available for the jailbreak.

Wouldn’t a nonJB be a better buy at that point?

Ok u gotta spill Demon-man. I didnt hear about any delays. I gotta call my GM dealer. I'm 26 in line (@MSRP) so I was already looking at a '24 model.

As for flipping...I got no issue with that. Not 100% sure Jailbreak is a slam dunk there esp after paying for taxes on it. Now Demon days u could flip paper (von/Allocations). THAT was a no brainer. Don't see that here. That said if you are buying and holding, JB at MSRP is pretty good value imo. Too bad we cant buy two Z06s tho...My dealer wont do it...I asked!
I'm fortunate to be #1 for Z06 at one dealer, #3 at another, and lol, #690 at one more. We'll see what happens with that. Am in a good position on ZR1 and Zora as well. These are the good old days for gearheads............

Yeah me too. I'm at MSRP #26 and #2 for ZR1, same dealer I've known for 15 years. I'm set. Thing is, I'm not convinced we see a ZR1, especially an ALL ICE version. Zora is too far into the future to know if it will ever see the light of day (unless its ALL EV). Z06 is a safe bet tho...even if it just got delayed again...

As for the good ole days....Well, I'd say it October of 1970 right now....The door is most definitely closing (at least on the all-out ICE AGE)

Agreed, until the next Ralph Nader comes along. Ie. Insurance companies, or that pesky overstepping government…

I never plan that far ahead when it comes to cars. Guess that's why I've never gotten any limited edition models.
