What should I look for when buying a used 2017 Dodge Challenger?

At 55.8% 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 pre-purchase inspection, especially if the car has been modified or driven hard. Focus on body condition, tire wear, brake wear, and signs of inconsistent maintenance, since those can reveal how the car was treated. If you’re comparing multiple listings, the cleanest example is often worth paying a bit more for.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The GT adds all-wheel drive, a customizable sport mode, and a more year-round-friendly setup, while the base rear-wheel-drive trims keep the classic muscle-car formula. The GT also comes with LED daytime running lights, LED taillights, xenon headlights, and 19-inch alloy wheels.
• Powertrain: The GT pairs the 3.6-liter V6 with an 8-speed automatic and makes 305 horsepower and 268 pound-feet of torque. It is tuned more for smooth cruising than excitement, and the AWD system can send up to 38 percent of power to the front axle when needed.
• Safety package: The Challenger includes a reversing camera, while lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, and forward-collision alert are optional. Some driver-assist features are not standard on every trim.
• Infotainment: The Uconnect 8.4 system includes navigation, real-time traffic, weather alerts, and onboard apps. The Performance Pages app adds vehicle data such as steering angle, torque, G-forces, and quarter-mile times.
• Fuel efficiency: The GT is rated at 18 mpg city and 27 mpg highway, and the expert drive recorded around 22 mpg over 500 miles.

Which 2017 Dodge Challenger trim should I buy?

The 2017 Dodge Challenger is offered in 14 trim levels: SXT, GT, R/T, R/T Shaker, R/T Scat Pack, R/T Scat Pack Shaker, T/A, T/A 392, SRT 392, SRT Hellcat, SRT Hellcat Widebody, and other trims explicitly referenced in the model-year content.

Here's the short version:

• GT: This is the best-value choice if you want the Challenger’s retro style with added all-weather usability. It brings AWD, the 3.6-liter V6, and a more relaxed, comfortable driving character, making it the most practical pick for many shoppers.
• R/T: This is the step up if you want more traditional muscle-car character and stronger performance than the V6 models. It suits you if you care more about the classic rear-wheel-drive feel than year-round traction.
• SRT Hellcat: This is the choice for buyers who want the most extreme performance in the lineup. It is the trim for you if outright power matters more than comfort, efficiency, or value.

The safety package is not fully standard across the lineup, so check each listing carefully for driver-assistance equipment.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2017 Dodge Challenger?

The market looks moderate, so you can shop selectively without expecting a deep buyer’s market.

• Deal availability: 29.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,328 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $20,190, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2017 Dodge Challenger's resale value?

The current average of $20,898 sits slightly below last year's $20,987.

That small decline suggests the market has been fairly stable, which is helpful if you plan to resell later. You are not looking at a model year with sharp price swings, so future value should depend more on condition, mileage, and trim than on broad market movement. Clean history and strong equipment will matter most when it is time to sell.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.6/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2017 Dodge Challenger safe?

The 2017 Dodge Challenger earns the highest five-star overall rating from NHTSA, with four-star ratings in the frontal crash test.

It earns a 4/10 safety score from our experts.

The Challenger includes a reversing camera as standard, while lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, and forward-collision alert are optional. The expert safety evaluation also notes weaker IIHS results, including a Marginal small-overlap result and a Poor body-structure result in that test, so you should pay close attention to crash history and trim-level equipment when shopping used.

Should I buy a 2017 Dodge Challenger or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2017 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2017 if:

• 29.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 55.8% 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 4.6/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2017 adds AWD availability, which broadens the Challenger’s appeal for year-round use.

Consider the 2016 if:

• At $23,751, the 2016 costs more than the current year's $20,898 average.
• It emphasizes authentic retro muscle-car styling and a fresh shaker-hood option.

The bottom line: If you want the better value and broader usability, the 2017 is the smarter starting point. If you are focused on the most authentic retro-muscle character and do not mind paying more, the 2016 remains worth a look.

How does the 2017 Dodge Challenger compare to the 2017 Ford Mustang?

Our experts score the 2017 Dodge Challenger 7.5/10 and the 2017 Ford Mustang 7.8/10.

The Challenger leans harder into retro style, a roomy feel, and a calmer, more comfortable driving personality. The Mustang edges it on overall expert score and offers slightly better deal availability, but the Challenger counters with stronger highway MPG and more distinctive old-school character. If you want the more emotional, classic-looking coupe, the Challenger makes a strong case; if you want the slightly sharper all-around package, the Mustang has the edge.
