What Dodge Challenger do most buyers choose?

The Dodge Challenger years with the most listings are 2022, 2023, and 2021.

Those higher-volume years tend to be the most popular used picks because they give you more inventory to compare and more chances to find the right trim, color, and equipment mix.

The 2023, 2022, and 2016 model years have held their value best, with prices flat to rising year-over-year.
