Dodge Journey keeps an estimated 55% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #300 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Dodge Journey retains an estimated 55% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #300 of 530 cars we track. That trails the 60% five-year average for Sedan in its class by 6 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
The loss does not land all at once here: the Dodge Journey sheds about 9% in year one and keeps going at much the same rate. From roughly $23,675 it falls to around $12,997 by year five — a five-year loss near $10,678, about $5.85 a day in depreciation.
There is no single sweet spot on the Dodge Journey: it gives up a similar share of its value every year rather than falling off a cliff, so how long you keep it matters more than what age you buy it at. Explore the full year-by-year curve, trims, and true cost of ownership in the Model Lab above.
