Used car buyer's brief
What owners love. What breaks at typical mileage. What people are actually paying. Then run the VIN through EstimateProof for $25 before you sign anything.
Owners love the 5.7L HEMI V8 in the R/T trim—it makes 370 horsepower and sounds like a muscle car should, with a burble on downshifts that keeps people smiling at stoplights. The eight-speed TorqueFlite automatic pairs well with it, holding gears longer than you'd expect in city driving. Interior materials feel a step above the base model, and the back seat actually fits adults on short trips without complaint.
The 8-speed transmission can be hesitant or jerky between 1st and 2nd gear, especially when cold; some owners report this at 25k miles onward. Paint quality is thin and prone to peeling on the hood and roof around 40k–80k miles, particularly on solid colors like black and white. Dashboard trim pieces rattle over rough roads, and the infotainment system (Uconnect) occasionally freezes or loses GPS signal—these issues surface unpredictably but are well-documented in NHTSA complaints from the 2018 model year.
Under 60k miles: $24,500–$29,000. 60k–100k miles: $20,000–$25,500. Over 100k miles: $16,500–$21,000. R/T and SRT models command the higher end; accident history, service records, and regional demand (stronger in the South and Midwest) account for most variation within each band.
Ranges are typical 2026 asking prices, not appraisals. The actual fair offer depends on this specific car's title history, accident record, and open recalls — which is what EstimateProof tells you.
