Could it hurt to reach out to some of the people in those emails and ask for help and state your intentions with the vehicle?



You can't pretend that you're Demonology, but you did make a splash or two with the original.[/QUOTE]

That has been done. I emailed and even got a response a few days before the reveal. Talked to the man himself at the reveal in private. Honestly a very personable and likeable and smart person. He looked happy. But he was not willing to help at the moment......

Also talked to the "Chief Donut Maker" and he also was really cool. I know you guys hate him, but I don't.

Emailed my other connection and he responded he is not involved in marketing or allocations or any of that and cannot help at this point.

I talked to the Owner of my preferred and trusted Dealer this morning on the phone and he read verbatim from an internal email/memo and it was really harsh on the allocations and how they were distributed and the availability of them. Really harsh. Kind of unbelievable.

Also met the Concierge Ladies in person at the event. They jumped up out of their chair and hugged me like I was family they had not seen in a while. So precious. If it was up to them, I would get one at cost. But it’s not.

I am dissapointed my one deal that I trusted fell apart. I screwed up by not putting backup deals in place. But who knows maybe they would not be honored either. I am not rich and I do think a 25% tip would be appropriate.

Ron Silva.
I had multiple back up deals, everything went to shit for me.
I didn't call 180 places but at least 50 and sent even more messages/emails the night of the reveal.

Owners think every Demon now is worth 200k due to recent auction results for the 2018 version. If 3,000 people line up to pay 200k for a brand new Demon with 1000hp and 0-60 in 1.6 seconds, then they can have it. This won't be the case. And many of the dealers won't be able to sit on them for 5 years either.

BTW, "hate" isn't the right word, and maybe not even at him, it should be directed at other people, he's just unfortunate enough to be the face of it, or more specifically, the ghost...

I think the best shot to get one at MSRP is a dealer who is only getting one. They may consider the loss of the ADM on one, could be traded for marketing. Advertising that they are the “good” dealer. The “honest” dealer who treats their customers right. Unlike those backstabbing, robbing, MFing others. That’s what I would do. 😝

Marc, what happened is these one allocation dealers had their phones blowing up the second that the cars were added to the power locator. So in my experience they became wise to the situation very quickly. So the last day or so the one allocation delaers are NOW asking for $100K over. I talked to one that was very pleased I offered $20K over. She said they had $5K and $10K offered and that I was the FIRST to offer that much. I gave her my info and I was thinking this would maybe be the one. I called back this morning and they wanted $100K over. Son of a Bitch.

No doubt there will be some nutty stuff going on with this one. I can’t wait for the BJ and Mechum bologna to get served up. That will drive a bunch of nonsense. I don’t doubt there will be 3000 people who will fork over something above to get one. But what that’s going to be when the dust settles will be considerably less than $100k. I do think this one will considerably deflate the premium the original Demon has continued to enjoy. Pretty much just turned it into a Hellcat. 😂

Still looking for a SRT Demon 170. I am at $25K over and that likely won't change.

I had another thought that is pretty scary. Lets say that I bought a new Demon and I matched the VIN. So now my VIN matched car comes in and they sell it to someone else that offered them more money. If someone sold my VIN matched car out from under me, well I would be extremely upset.
