Used 2023 Dodge Challenger for Sale near Massachusetts

How much does the 2023 Dodge Challenger cost?

Prices are up 5.48% year-over-year — a sign of continued demand for this model year.

There are 2,637 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2023 Dodge Challenger a good car?

Yes — the 2023 Dodge Challenger earns a 4.8/5 user rating and a 7.17/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Performance at 10/10.

Owners consistently praise its powerful performance, fun driving experience, and modern tech features. They also highlight the ample legroom and trunk space, along with strong value for the muscle-car segment.

The trade-offs are clear: poor fuel economy and outdated technology. The overview also frames it as a comfortable, easy-to-use coupe with a strong sense of occasion, so it makes the most sense if you want character and straight-line punch more than efficiency or cutting-edge tech.

Only 30.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so the market is not especially bargain-heavy.

Is the 2023 Dodge Challenger reliable?

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

The owner feedback points to a car that feels dependable in daily use, with strong value and a reputation for being enjoyable to live with over time. The expert evaluation also describes it as holding up remarkably well considering its age, which supports the idea that it can be a solid long-term ownership choice if it has been cared for properly.

The cost-effectiveness discussion also reinforces that this is a car you buy for lasting character rather than low running costs. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that a neglected example can be expensive to sort out, especially if it has been driven hard.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.2% — 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. A pre-purchase inspection matters here, especially if you are looking at a higher-performance version that may have seen hard use. Focus on overall condition, signs of abuse, and whether the car’s equipment matches the trim you think you are buying.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Black Ghost adds exclusive retro styling, premium Laguna semi-aniline leather upholstery, simulated suede trim, and genuine carbon fiber accents, but the cabin still mixes those materials with inexpensive plastic. It also shows how much the base car leans on old-school character rather than modern polish.
• Powertrain: The Black Ghost uses a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 with 807 hp and 707 lb-ft of torque, and the broader lineup is defined by extreme power rather than efficiency. The expert notes also make clear that fuel economy is poor.
• 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, plus Bluetooth streaming audio. It also includes navigation and a Harman Kardon premium sound system.
• Fuel efficiency: The expert test drive data cites 15 mpg in combined driving, and the testing loop returned 15.7 mpg.

Which 2023 Dodge Challenger trim should I buy?

The 2023 Dodge Challenger is offered in 1 trim level: Black Ghost.

Here's the short version:

The Black Ghost is the one to buy if you want the most dramatic, collectible-feeling version of the 2023 Challenger and you value the special-edition styling, premium interior touches, and top-end performance. It is the right fit if you want the final-year Challenger experience with the strongest sense of occasion.

Because the data here describes only this trim, there is no lower-trim ladder to compare against. If you want the most distinctive version and are comfortable with the compromises, this is the clear choice.

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

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

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you have room to shop carefully rather than rush.

• Deal availability: 30.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,637 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices are up 5.48% year-over-year.
• Clean inventory: 84.2% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $41,207, 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 $43,490 sits slightly above last year's $41,232.

That upward move suggests the market still places strong value on this model year, especially given its final-year status and enthusiast appeal. If you buy well and keep the car in good condition, that pricing momentum can help support future resale. The limited-production special editions and strong demand for the Challenger’s old-school character should also help keep interest alive among used buyers.

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?

The 2023 Dodge Challenger earns favorable ratings only in two outdated frontal- and side-impact tests from IIHS.

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

The safety equipment on the Black Ghost is limited to 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 safety net here. If safety tech matters to you, this is a car where you need to pay close attention to the exact equipment on the listing and be realistic about the model’s age and limitations.

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:

• 30.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.2% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices are up 5.48% year-over-year.
• Owners rate it 4.8/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• In its final year, the Challenger leans into “Last Call” special editions and extreme performance, including the 1,025-horsepower SRT Demon 170.

The bottom line: If you want the last and most emotionally compelling version of the Challenger, the 2023 is the one to target. If your priority is simply getting into a Challenger at the lowest possible price, a nearby year may be the better path, especially if you are willing to trade away some of the final-year cachet and special-edition appeal.
