Please DO NOT Buy a Dodge Charger (Unless It’s THIS Model Year)

0:00 A guide to buying a used Dodge Charger by model year, focusing on reliability, common mechanical issues, and maintenance history. 3:14 2011 and 2012 Chargers 6:03 2015 through 2017 Chargers 8:57 2018 and 2019 Chargers 11:24 2020 Charger Before you buy a used Dodge Charger, watch this breakdown of the years I would avoid, the ones I would inspect carefully, and the model year I would put my own money on. I compare Charger model years from 2006 through 2020, covering engine problems, oil sludge, Hemi lifter and camshaft wear, Pentastar issues, transmission behavior, recalls, and real-world maintenance history. I also explain how I use VIN checks, cold starts, test drives, and service records to uncover expensive surprises. My top pick is the 2020 Charger, especially a 2020 RT with documented oil changes and completed recalls. I’ll show you exactly what I would check before buying and when I would walk away from a seller or a car with no records.
