Car Reviews: Dodge Charger Reviews
The Dodge Charger is an American automobile manufactured by Chrysler, under the Dodge brand name. There have been several different Dodge vehicles, on three different platforms, bearing the Charger nameplate. The name is generally associated with a performance model in the Dodge range; however, it has also adorned a hatchback, a sedan, and a personal luxury coupe. The name was also carried by a 1999 concept car that differed substantially from the Charger eventually placed into production for the 2006 model year. A similar name, the Ramcharger, was used for the truck-based vehicle.Read More about Dodge Charger at WikiPedia
Latest Dodge Charger Frequently Asked Questions:
I found a 72' Dodge Charger for $3000 and i can do a lot of work myself on it. What is it worth when it is all fixed up?
Answer:As a Muscle car collector I can tell you that True documented muscle cars are bringing high dollars, they are bringing in premium prices. The muscle cars I buy and sell are worth between $150'000 and $350'000. Who said they are not at a premium. In fact, I just sold my very rare Yenko Chevelle because the prices are so good. Here's the hitch, most people can't or won't lay out that much for an original that they probably shouldn't drive. So the next best thing is to build a clone. How do you clone? You get a cheap version of the car you like and build it up as a tribute to a high dollar Muscle car. Now, you have something cool and something you can drive. Clone car prices are on the rise which makes the originals even worth more to collectors. Now, I am assuming yours is a plain Jane type. Production numbers run like this: 2dr cpe 7'803, 2dr ht 45'361, 2dr SE ht 22'430. The highest hp engine was the 440 and was rated @ 280 hp. Nothing there to attract many collectors, thus lowering the value to them. I know, for all you Mopar nuts out there, the 440 six-pack was offered in the brochure, but was canceled before initial production. I need more info as to what might be special about your particular car. Is it a Rallye? 440? How many original miles? I will give you the high, low and middle ground. If you clone something cool or turn it into a street rod, you could catch the right crowd and it could sell for up to 3 times the restored value. Restored, with the limited info you gave us to go on.... Assuming that you took everything apart and did it right, Low is $10'000, high $16'000. Factory cars with 280 hp at the most just aren't anything that special when it come to collecting them. Unless there is something unique about them. Okay, if your car is one of the 7'803 2dr cpe, and has tons of options and was the right color and..... well you get the drift, then it might stand a chance of being a well sought after car in the future. My advice, have fun with it now, worry about the rest later. Forget the prices they quote you out of books. Look around your area of state. What are similar cars selling for. Look on line, look at auctions. DON'T take my word as gold, because you didn't give us very much info to go on. What's the most you would pay for a car from the 50's? $150'00? $250'00? Barrett Jackson Auction sold Howard Hugh's car for $1.5 million, because it was something special. So, do the research, break your Vin down, and your data plate, check out how rare it actually is, then you'll have a better idea.
Will a dodge charger with under 100k miles, year 2005-2007 be under 6000$ in 2-2.5 years? Right now i found a 2006 with 29k miles on it in good cond. and it was 11,000$, Will the value go down with the new 08 charger and the new challenger?
Answer:It doesn't matter that the new challlenger is coming out... the older it gets the more the value is going to go down. If it's worth 11 now.. it may be around 6 in 2.5 years
i just got a dodge charger base 2.7 model which i regret getting now i should have went w/ the rt cuz im used to the way my tc used to take off .....even though i really like the car what can i do to give it little bit more horse power that wouldn't hurt my pockets??????????
Answer:there's not a lot that you can do for the 2.7 engine to boost the power of it a lot,it will pretty much run like it is but if you modify those sometimes its hurts the running of them rather than help it,really not much you can do to help that one,good luck.
Does anyone have a black Dodge Charger?? I might be geting one in the near future and I love them!!! Do they ride smoothly??! Ever had any problems? And would you reccomend me getting one too?
Answer:the charger is a chicks car. i started seeing more girls and old people driving the charger, challenger, camaro more than the mustang these days, plus it has 4 doors.
I live in iowa and we can get a lot of snow in the winter. I know the charger is rear wheel drive but i was told buy some people that it has traction control and it helps in the winter. What are your thoughts on the performance of a new dodge charger in the winter?
Answer:RWD Chargers, Magnum's & 300's are pretty stable in winter driving conditions with ESP and if you add 4 winter tires to the car. However, the Dodge Charger has come out with a AWD version for 2007 like the Magnum & 300's. These AWD versions are incredible in the snow and ice!
