Used 2016 Dodge Charger for Sale nearGreenville, SC

How much does the 2016 Dodge Charger cost?

Prices have held steady compared to this time last year, signaling a stable and predictable market for this model year.

There are 877 listings available, which gives you a meaningful pool to compare before you buy.

Is the 2016 Dodge Charger a good car?

Yes — the 2016 Dodge Charger earns a 4.8/5 user rating and an 8.17/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel and Performance.

You get a mix of powerful acceleration, stylish design, and a comfortable interior, plus a sense that the car delivers strong value for the features it includes. The overview also frames it as a practical everyday sedan with a strong personality, so it works well if you want something that feels distinctive without giving up family-sedan usefulness. Good and great deals account for 25.2% of listings, which suggests there are still some attractive buys in the market.

Is the 2016 Dodge Charger reliable?

Owners rate it 4.8/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The user feedback points to a car that feels dependable in daily use, with owners repeatedly praising its strong value, comfortable cabin, and satisfying overall ownership experience. The expert notes also emphasize that there is more substance here than the Charger’s image suggests, which supports the idea that it can be a car you count on over time.

The performance notes reinforce that impression with a durable-feeling V6, a smooth 8-speed automatic, and a setup that is described as enjoyable and rewarding to drive. If you buy used, the main long-term ownership risk is making sure the car was maintained well and not worn down by hard use.

What should I look for when buying a used 2016 Dodge Charger?

At 49.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a careful inspection of body panels, paint consistency, and any signs of prior repair. It also makes sense to focus on how the car feels in everyday use, since the Charger’s appeal depends on both its condition and whether its equipment still works as intended. If you’re shopping a higher-mileage example, pay extra attention to wear items and any evidence that the car was driven hard.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base SE and SXT are the entry points, and the SXT test car shows how much more appealing the car can feel with packages such as the Blacktop Appearance Package, Plus Package, Rallye Group, navigation with reversing camera, Driver Confidence Package, and Super Track Pak. The base trim gap is that you may miss some of the visual polish and convenience features that make the car feel more complete.
• Powertrain: All SE and SXT models use a 3.6-liter V6 with an 8-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive, while all-wheel drive is available for both trims. The V6 is described as excellent, and it returned 22.9 mpg in combined driving.
• Safety package: Available driver-assistance tech includes forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist. Some of these features are upgrades rather than standard equipment.
• Infotainment: The Charger uses an 8.4-inch touchscreen with Uconnect, and it offers programmable settings through the driver information system. Wireless phone integration and over-the-air capability are not stated.
• Fuel efficiency: The V6 returned 22.9 mpg in combined driving, essentially matching the EPA estimate of 23 mpg.

Which 2016 Dodge Charger trim should I buy?

The 2016 Dodge Charger is offered in 2 trim levels: SE and SXT.

Here's the short version:

• SE: This is the value-focused starting point, and it makes the Charger’s core appeal accessible without pushing the price too high. It suits you if you want the Charger’s style and V6 power at the lowest entry cost.
• SXT: This is the better-value choice if you want the Charger to feel more complete, since the test car shows how well it responds to appearance, comfort, and tech upgrades. If you want the sweet spot between price and equipment, this is the trim to target.

Safety-package features such as forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist are available as upgrades.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2016 Dodge Charger?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you have room to shop carefully and compare listings.

• Deal availability: 25.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 877 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 49.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $14,965, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2016 Dodge Charger's resale value?

The current average of $15,504 sits slightly below last year's $15,644.

That small decline suggests the market has been fairly stable, which is helpful if you plan to sell later because it points to predictable pricing rather than sharp swings. For you, that means a well-kept example should remain relatively easy to position competitively if you decide to move on. Strong demand for the Charger’s style and performance image can also help support future buyer interest.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.8/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2016 Dodge Charger safe?

The 2016 Dodge Charger gets a Marginal rating in the small overlap frontal impact crash test from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, while other crash-test assessments are top-rated.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

You can equip it with forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist. The safety tech is a real strength, but the Marginal small-overlap result is the key caveat you should keep in mind when shopping used.

Should I buy a 2016 Dodge Charger or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2016 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2016 if:

• 25.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 49.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.8/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2016 blends strong value, everyday practicality, and a more refined personality than its image suggests.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $12,951, the 2015 costs less than the current year's $15,504 average.
• It leans harder into bold styling and offers a more aggressive look.

Consider the 2017 if:

• At $18,324, the 2017 costs more than the current year's $15,504 average.
• It delivers a louder, more attention-grabbing muscle-car personality.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, personality, and everyday usefulness, the 2016 is the smart default. If your budget is tighter, the 2015 can save you money, while the 2017 makes sense if you want a more emotional, enthusiast-focused version and are willing to pay more.
