Dodge Charger Depreciation & Resale Value

Dodge Charger keeps an estimated 68% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #90 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Dodge Charger retains an estimated 68% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #90 of 530 cars we track. That is 8 points above the 60% five-year average for Sedan in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Dodge Charger sheds about 6% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $49,995 it falls to around $34,096 by year five — a five-year loss near $15,899, about $8.71 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Dodge Charger bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
