2020 Dodge Charger — should you buy one?

Why people love the 2020 Dodge Charger

The 2020 Charger with the 5.7L HEMI V8 and 8-speed automatic delivers 370 horsepower and feels planted through corners despite its size, which is why owners keep them past 100k miles. The steering is heavier than competitors and gives real feedback instead of the numb feel you get in newer sedans. Many buyers choose the R/T trim specifically because the engine makes a distinctive rumble at idle that cheap synthetic oil can't kill.

Common complaints and known issues

The infotainment system (Uconnect 4) locks up or goes black around 60k miles, sometimes requiring a full module replacement that costs $800+. Transmission hesitation between 2nd and 3rd gear shows up between 40k and 80k miles on some models. Multiple owners report clear-coat peeling on the hood and roof by 70k miles, especially on red and black paint, which suggests a factory batch issue from 2020 production.

Typical asking price

Under 60k miles: $24,000–$28,500. 60k–100k miles: $19,500–$24,000. Over 100k miles: $16,000–$20,500. R/T trims command $2,000–$4,000 more than base SXT models. Region matters: Southern and Southwestern listings run 8–12% higher because lower salt exposure means less rust on undercarriage and suspension components.

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.
