Used 2023 Dodge Challenger for Sale nearJacksonville, FL

How much does the 2023 Dodge Challenger cost?

Prices are up 5.17% year-over-year — a sign of continued demand for this model year.

There are 2,642 listings available, which gives you a decent amount of shopping room even in a tighter market. If you find a listing below $41,201.41, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2023 Dodge Challenger a good car?

Yes — the 2023 Dodge Challenger earns a 4.8/5 user rating, and our experts give it 7.17/10 overall. The standout strength is Performance at 10/10.

Owners consistently praise the powerful performance, fun driving experience, and strong value. They also like the ample legroom and trunk space, which helps the car work better as an everyday coupe than its muscle-car image might suggest.

The trade-offs are familiar: the Challenger is described as comfortable and easy to use, but it also carries poor fuel economy and outdated technology. That fits the car’s use case well if you want a nostalgic, high-output coupe that still feels livable, especially in a final-year sendoff with special-edition appeal.

Good and great deals account for 27.7% of listings, so there are still some worthwhile opportunities if you shop carefully.

Is the 2023 Dodge Challenger reliable?

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

The owner summary points to a car that feels powerful, fun, and strong on value, with the kind of everyday usability that helps it stay appealing over time. It also suggests the Challenger has enough comfort and practicality to make ownership feel rewarding beyond the novelty of the performance.

The expert evaluation reinforces that sense of durability by describing the car as having held up remarkably well considering its age. The final-year context also matters: you’re looking at a model that’s been refined over a long run, but one that still asks you to accept the usual costs of a high-output muscle car.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that performance-focused ownership can mean harder use, so condition and maintenance history matter a lot.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Dodge Challenger?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because a clean listing percentage does not guarantee a clean individual car. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on wear from hard driving, since this model’s personality can encourage enthusiastic use. Pay close attention to overall condition, especially if you’re considering a higher-performance version.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Black Ghost is based on the SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody and adds retro styling touches, premium Laguna semi-aniline leather upholstery, simulated suede on the steering wheel and headliner, genuine carbon fiber trim, and exclusive exterior details. The base SXT is much more basic by comparison, with the lineup spanning from a rear-wheel-drive entry model to the Black Ghost special edition.
• Powertrain: The Black Ghost uses a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 with 807 hp and 707 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The car’s performance focus is clear, but fuel economy is poor, and the engine’s output is the main reason to buy one.
• Safety package: The Black Ghost includes a low-resolution reversing camera, rear parking sensors, automatic high-beam headlights, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert. Forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control are unavailable on the SRT Hellcat Redeye and, by extension, the Black Ghost.
• Infotainment: The Black Ghost uses an 8.4-inch Uconnect 4 touchscreen with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth streaming audio, navigation, and a Harman Kardon premium sound system. The interface is intuitive, but the system is showing its age.
• Fuel efficiency: The EPA rates the Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye at 15 mpg in combined driving, and the test vehicle averaged 15.7 mpg on a Southern California loop.

Which 2023 Dodge Challenger trim should I buy?

The 2023 Dodge Challenger is offered in 2 trim levels: SXT, Black Ghost.

Here's the short version:

• SXT: This is the entry point if you want the Challenger shape and everyday usability without paying for the special-edition hardware. It’s the trim to consider if you care more about getting into the model than chasing the most extreme performance or rarest appearance package.
• Black Ghost: This is the one to buy if you want the full final-year statement piece. It layers on the rare special-edition treatment, the 807-hp supercharged V8, premium interior materials, and the most distinctive retro styling in the lineup. It’s the clear choice if you want the most collectible and most dramatic version.

The safety package is limited on the Black Ghost, and advanced driver-assistance features are not standard.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Dodge Challenger?

Act selectively, because this is still a seller’s market and the best examples will move quickly.

• Deal availability: 27.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,642 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices are up 5.17% year-over-year.
• Clean inventory: 84.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $41,201.41, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 Dodge Challenger's resale value?

The current average of $43,574 sits slightly above last year's $41,433.

That upward move suggests the market still values this final-year Challenger, especially as interest stays strong around its performance, nostalgia, and special-edition appeal. For a future seller, that kind of demand can help support pricing if your car is well kept and presented cleanly.

The year-over-year increase also tells you that buyers are willing to pay more for the right example, which is especially true for standout trims and well-documented cars. If you maintain the car carefully, you’re more likely to benefit from that continued interest when it’s time to sell.

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 2023 Dodge Challenger safe?

It earns favorable ratings only in two outdated frontal- and side-impact tests from IIHS, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gives the car high marks but hasn’t updated its crash-test standards in over a decade.

It earns a 3/10 safety score from our experts.

The Challenger’s safety equipment is limited, even on the Black Ghost. You get traction and stability control, a low-resolution reversing camera, rear parking sensors, automatic high-beam headlights, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert. Forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control are unavailable on the SRT Hellcat Redeye and, by extension, the Black Ghost.

That means you should not expect a broad modern driver-assistance suite here. If safety is a top priority, this is a model where you need to be especially careful about trim choice and about how the car was used and maintained.

Should I buy a 2023 Dodge Challenger or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 27.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices are up 5.17% year-over-year.
• Owners rate it 4.8/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2023 model year is the final production year, and the lineup includes special-edition “Last Call” models, including the rare Black Ghost.

The bottom line: If you want the last and most collectible version of the Challenger, the 2023 is the year to target. If you’re shopping mainly on price, you may want to compare nearby years and focus on the cleanest, best-maintained example rather than chasing the newest badge alone. For buyers who value the sendoff, though, the 2023 has the strongest emotional appeal and the clearest final-year significance.
