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

At 47.5% 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 driven hard or modified. Focus on body condition, tire wear, brake condition, and signs of heavy use, since those areas can reveal how the car was treated. If you are comparing multiple listings, give extra weight to cars with cleaner histories and consistent maintenance records.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Charger Daytona treatment adds SRT-derived design details, a cold-air induction system with a functional hood scoop, heritage-inspired graphics, a Satin Black roof and rear spoiler treatment, wider 20-inch wheels, and interior upgrades. The base car is also described as having a rear-drive platform, retro-themed styling, and generously sized interiors, while some buyers may miss conveniences such as sunroofs and all-wheel drive.
• Powertrain: The test car uses a 6.4-liter Hemi V8 with 485 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic, a 3.09 final drive ratio, and an electronic limited-slip differential. The performance setup is aimed at strong acceleration and serious driving excitement, but it also comes with high fuel, tire, brake, and insurance costs.
• Safety package: The Charger includes a reversing camera as standard equipment, and Uconnect Access adds 911 Call for emergency assistance for 6 months. Optional safety features include adaptive cruise control with full-stop capability, full-speed forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.
• Infotainment: The Charger gets an 8.4-inch Uconnect system with upgraded graphics, quick startup and response, pinch-and-swipe controls, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a free 6-month Uconnect Access trial. That subscription also adds voice texting, remote start, remote door locking, and a 3G Wi-Fi hotspot.
• Fuel efficiency: The 6.4-liter V8 is EPA-rated at 15 mpg city, 25 mpg highway, and 18 mpg combined.

Which 2017 Dodge Charger trim should I buy?

The 2017 Dodge Charger is offered in 2 trim levels: R/T and R/T Scat Pack.

Here's the short version:

• R/T: This is the lower-priced Daytona-based setup, and it gives you the Charger’s core muscle-car character with the Daytona appearance and performance treatment. It is the better-value choice if you want the look and attitude without stepping all the way up to the more powerful version.
• R/T Scat Pack: This trim adds the 6.4-liter Hemi V8 and the stronger performance hardware that makes the Daytona 392 the more serious driver’s car. Choose this one if you care most about maximum power and track-ready capability.

The safety content notes that the Charger includes a reversing camera as standard equipment, while additional driver-assistance features remain optional.

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

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully without expecting every listing to be a bargain.

• Deal availability: 23.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,119 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices are up 1.37% year-over-year.
• Clean inventory: 47.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $17,163, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2017 Dodge Charger's resale value?

The current average of $18,131 sits slightly above last year's $17,886.

That modest increase suggests the Charger has held value reasonably well in the near term. For a future seller, that means demand has been steady enough to support pricing, especially if your car has a clean history and strong condition. Listings with accident-free histories and desirable equipment should be easier to position competitively.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.7/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2017 Dodge Charger safe?

The Charger earns high marks from both NHTSA and IIHS, though IIHS gives it a Marginal rating in the small offset frontal-impact test.

It earns a 6/10 safety score from our experts.

The Charger includes a reversing camera as standard equipment, and Uconnect Access provides 911 Call for emergency assistance for 6 months. Optional driver-assistance features include adaptive cruise control with full-stop capability, full-speed forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.

The small offset frontal-impact result is the main caveat to keep in mind when you are evaluating used examples.

Should I buy a 2017 Dodge Charger 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:

• 23.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 47.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices are up 1.37% year-over-year.
• Owners rate it 4.7/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2017 brings a new Uconnect 8.4 system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Consider the 2016 if:

• At $15,855, the 2016 costs less than the current year's $18,131 average.
• It is a more satisfying family sedan than its image suggests.

Consider the 2018 if:

• At $18,827, the 2018 costs more than the current year's $18,131 average.
• It adds modern tech and available all-wheel drive.

The bottom line: If you want the strongest mix of personality, tech, and market availability, the 2017 is the best default choice. If your budget matters most, the 2016 is the value play; if you want newer features and available all-wheel drive, move up to the 2018.
