Found what appears to be a low mile 2021 Charger Redeye. Says one owner, no wrecks reported, less than 7000 miles.

Concerns:

1. While VIN checks out as Redeye, and the Monroney sticker lists "redeye grill badge", the grill badge does not have a red eye. Do the grill badges have the red eye?
2. Same with trunk badge, no red eye that I can see
3. Visually, car looks okay other than the drivers seat bolster (where the controls are) has some scratches.
4. Car is gray (blah).
5. Passenger side headlight appears to have condensation inside.

Car is more than 10K under the original sticker. I suspect has had a wreck / fender bender that was not reported.

Redeye badge only on side of car and the Motor SC. Are the heads painted Black or Orange? Black it’s the Demon Motor Orange it’s a fake.

Thanks the both of you. These guys have two, both low miles, the gray with the condensation and a white with even less miles. It's a freaking steal (to me), but I probably still cannot afford it. Probably my last chance at a reasonably priced Red Eye...

Love that blue CC

Do not regret letting it get away. Enjoy life and it will be worth the extra effort.

If it does come down to a concern over a previous accident not reported and repaired, a skilled body man will find it if it’s been painted, a quality paint gauge doesn’t lie to a skilled body man, along w/panel alignment, double impressions on parts from hardware being unfastened and refastened. If the the car is legit I hope it pans out man.

One thing though, on the sticker it specifically has line items for "red eye" grill and trunk badges as part of the customer preferred package (or whatever its called) totalling $8600. If they do not have the red eye, why call them out as part of this option package?

I don't really like the gray anyway, I'd go with the white (though it is just plain white over black). That gray is over red seats, rest of the interior black.

White is F-ing classy with the black molding that comes on all Charger Challengers, I would say wolf in White sheep clothing but it does look the part of carnivorous, I had a 17 White Knuckle M6 Challenger thought it was classy looking but like art it’s in they eyes of beholder. You could always do a black wrap on hood or more to spice things up later, PPF looks the part and protects.

Paint the eyes red yourself, Mag. That way you may have the only car with red eyes in the front and rear.

They really don't need a tune for the street.

Gotta have something to listen to while waiting at the airport.

Right these stock Redeyes are so fast they truly get you into trouble quickly. And as we all know someone is always faster but yeh the need for speed 😁
