Navi is totally unnecessary in the world of Android auto and CarPlay anyway. This will pass brother, and you'll be back in one of these monsters soon!

Please tell me where I can get red rev-match paddles !!!!

Yea, navigation is totally un necessary now a days. Having the PDR would be cool but to be honest with you, I don't even own a computer and I don't plan on buying one any time soon. Even if I had the computer and I tracked my car frequently (which I won't be), I would rarely sit in front of a computer to look at my laps.

I've thought about it (not having the PDR) and when I do take the car to a track (which will be rarely) I will just spend a couple hundred bucks on two Go Pros. I know I wont get all the data input from the driving but I'm fine with that.

Geico doesn't have new model replacement. I wish they did, this ordeal would have been a lot less stressful. I've considered switching to the company which offers the new model replacement.

Glad you are ok you can always get a new car!!!

Thank you for the well wishes sir. I'm not too worried about the re sell value down the road without the PDR. The difference would only be a few hundred bucks anyway. When I bought my hellcat I told myself that I would never get a car again with the intention or concern of resale value.

RED PADDLES YOU SAY? Where? LOL I've seen the Red instrument knobs, but not paddles.

Sounds like you got a steal on your deal. Where did you buy your car? I'm pretty sure they region of the country you live in affects the prices you pay. I live in the north east (where everything is expensive as all hell). I can't wait to retire and get the hell out of here.

I was born and raised in the North East myself. I now live in N Georgia

I don't want to get into the details of the accident since I am still in the thick of it with Geico. Today I found out that they are officially considering the car a total loss. I will find out the official value for the car next week.

They gave me a figure today and it seemed pretty reasonable to me. The care was fully loaded, had the PDR, and MSRP was $73,300. The car had 5400 miles on it at the time of the crash.

I've looked everywhere and I am having a hard time finding any information on the value of a used ZL1 1LE. Because it's such a new option and there aren't many out there Kelley Blue Book doesn't even have it listed in their site.

I'd be interested to find out what you guys would consider a good $ value from the insurance would be.

Thank you all for any input you can give me as far as the value.

I've always heard don't accept the 1st offer or second. I had a friend that tried that theory out and got what he wanted on 3rd offer. Won't hurt to try. Sorry about your accident and good luck with your insurance wrangling.

Not once have I wished I had PDR. Hard to sell? Unlikely.

I don't want to be greedy man. It appears that what they are offering me is quite fair. I'm going to speak to them again today and make sure they've considered all the options my car came with and leave it at that.

I agree with you here. I don't think I am going to wish I had it at all. In the two years I've had my hellcat I've never thought about recording myself driving.

When it comes time to sell (if I ever decide to) I don't think it will prevent anyone who is serious about owning a car like this from buying it.

Someone actually bought that car not too long ago and right before they were going to take the car home they realized that it didn't have PDR and they backed out of the deal..... hahaha. The preference for PDR is as subjective as the color of the car is.

I'm glad the person backed out of the deal because the car is now available for me to buy. The universe works in mysterious ways.
