How much does the Dodge Challenger cost?
Prices for the Dodge Challenger vary by trim and whether you’re buying new or used. With production ending after the 2023 model year, today’s pricing is driven largely by the used-car market and any remaining new-car inventory from special editions.
New-car price ranges by trim
Here are typical starting price ranges for the latest Challenger models when they were sold new. Individual dealer prices can vary due to options, destination charges, taxes, and incentives.
- SXT: roughly $32,000–$36,000
- GT: roughly $37,000–$42,000
- R/T (5.7L V8): roughly $41,000–$60,000
- Scat Pack (6.4L V8): roughly $50,000–$70,000
- Hellcat: roughly $70,000–$85,000
- Hellcat Redeye: roughly $90,000–$110,000
- Demon 170: roughly $100,000–$150,000
Note: Destination charges and optional equipment can push these numbers higher; the exact sticker price depends on the build and local incentives.
Beyond the sticker price
When shopping for a Challenger, buyers should also consider destination charges, sales tax, licensing fees, and any dealer-added extras or markup. Limited-run editions and high-performance variants can carry premium charges that aren’t always reflected in the base MSRP.
Used-market prices and what affects them
Since no new Challengers beyond the 2023 model year are in regular production, most buyers will encounter used examples. Values in this segment swing based on year, mileage, condition, and edition rarity.
- 2015–2019 V6 SXT/GT: commonly about $15,000–$28,000
- 2015–2019 V8 RT/Scat Pack: commonly about $25,000–$50,000
- 2020–2021 RT/Scat Pack: commonly about $30,000–$60,000
- 2020–2023 Hellcat variants: commonly about $50,000–$90,000
- 2023 Demon 170: commonly about $110,000–$160,000 (premium for low mileage or highly optioned examples)
Used prices are highly sensitive to market demand, mileage, condition, and whether the car carries limited-edition badges or unique options. Buyers should factor in maintenance history and potential recalls when assessing value.
Summary
The Dodge Challenger price landscape is shaped by two main factors: whether you’re buying new or used, and which trim or edition you select. New Challengers ranged from the low-to-mid $30,000s up to six figures for top-tier variants, but production ended after 2023, so today’s market is dominated by used cars with wide price variation. Prospective buyers should shop around, verify history, and account for additional fees and potential dealer markups. In short, expect a broad spread—especially if chasing rare or high-performance models.
