2019 Dodge Charger

With Rachel's current Charger pushing 208k, she is planning to get a replacement.
Chargers and Challengers were in the running. Both are still quite expensive, particularly if you want the Hemi and low mileage. She also wants B5 blue. We've done some looking at these, including a visit to a wrecked B5 blue Scat Pack Challenger at an auction yard in Vermilion OH. We got outbid on that car by over $2500.
I also bid on another B5 blue Challenger. That car had failed to sell a month earlier at $3675. The day before the auction, an offer to "buy it now" came up for $4800. I decided to bid on it up to $4300 and it if went above that I'd just hit "buy it now". Unbeknownst to me the buy it now ends at close of business. Sure enough it went over $4300 after business close, so my only choice was to bid it up. I ultimately bid the car up to $5400 and it went to the next highest bidder at $5425.
Today I came across this 2019 V8 AWD Charger former police car. It has just under 39k miles and hit in the left front. It had a buy it now of $6k, which after some conversation with Rachel, and working up an estimate for repairs, she went for it. It'll be here next Friday - coming up from Atlanta. Then the project starts.
