How much does a Dodge Challenger usually cost?
In brief, a new Dodge Challenger usually starts around the low $30,000s for the base models and climbs to the high $60,000s or more for high-performance variants; used Challengers span a wide range from the mid-$20,000s to well over $80,000 depending on year, trim, and condition. Since production largely ended after the 2023 model year, most buyers are looking at the used-car market, though a small number of new units may still be available from dealers.
This article provides a current snapshot of both new and used Challenger pricing, explains how trim levels and options influence value, and offers guidance for shoppers navigating limited new stock and a broad used-car market in 2025.
New Dodge Challenger pricing in 2025
Below are the typical price bands you can expect for remaining new Challenger inventory. Actual prices can vary by region, dealer fees, incentives, and optional equipment.
- SXT / GT: starting around $32,000–$34,000
- R/T (V8, 5.7L): roughly $40,000–$45,000

Used stock and dealer lot inventory varies widely, and with limited new units remaining from the final production years, many buyers encounter dealer markups or special promotions. Always verify final out-the-door pricing, including destination charges and taxes, at the point of sale.
Used Dodge Challenger pricing in 2025
Before looking at the numbers, keep in mind that the used market reflects year, mileage, condition, and localization. Prices can swing based on whether a car has been driven primarily on the street or tracked, and by the presence of performance options or rare editions.
- Base V6 SXT/GT (older model years 2015–2020): typically $18,000–$28,000
- V8 R/T (2015–2020): typically $25,000–$40,000
- Scat Pack (392) variants (2015–2020): typically $28,000–$50,000
- Hellcat (5.7L–6.2L supercharged, various years): typically $40,000–$70,000
- Redeye / higher-performance editions (limited runs, later years): typically $60,000–$90,000+
Prices on the used market are sensitive to mileage, maintenance history, accident history, and regional demand. Prospective buyers should consult established price guides and consider a thorough inspection before purchase.
Factors that influence Challenger pricing
Several elements commonly drive the final price, whether you buy new or used:
- Trim level and performance package (base vs. Scat Pack vs. Hellcat/Redeye)
- Model year and remaining factory warranties
- Miles, maintenance history, and condition
- Regional supply, dealer incentives, and negotiation
- Optional features, paint, wheels, interior packages, and any dealer-installed add-ons
Understanding these factors can help buyers target the right price and avoid overpaying, especially in a market with limited new stock and a broad used-car landscape.
Summary
The Dodge Challenger today sits at a crossroads: new units are scarce due to the model’s final years, so most buyers are looking at the used market where prices show wide variation by year, trim, and mileage. For new vehicles, expect the lower end to begin in the low $30,000s and high-performance versions to push into the $60,000s and above. For used cars, a broad spectrum exists—from the high teens to well over $80,000—depending on condition and rarity. Shoppers should use reputable price guides, factor total ownership costs, and, when possible, obtain vehicle history and a pre-purchase inspection to ensure a fair deal.
