What Dodge Journey do most buyers choose?

The Dodge Journey years with the most listings are 2018, 2019, and 2017.

Most model years are showing declines, and the newer ones are dropping the fastest. That creates more room for used buyers to find value, especially if you are shopping recent model years. The smaller changes on older examples suggest those prices have moved more gradually.
