What the numbers say

A 2021 Dodge Charger still asks 43% of what a 2026 one does — that's how much value it holds after 5 years. Among 37 sedans we price, that ranks #35, below the 58% class median. The steepest single-year drop comes at year 1 (−31.9%), after which losses ease to about 15% a year. Mileage costs it 59%: the same car reads 100k–150k instead of Under 40k miles. Calculated from 534 listings.
