Used 2013 Dodge Charger Sedan Consumer Reviews
Never thought I would drive a police car.
I never thought I would own a police car. Now it drives like a brand new car handles like a dream performed like a race car. Oh no door handles on the rear and windows can only be controlled from driver seat. Found it a auction. Was a dectives car. So not driven by to many people. Price very good 60% lower than going prices for same auto. Beware there are costs you must factor in to buying one of these super fast heavy duty autos. Some auction services charge a buyers premium. 5 to 20% not all but many. Do inspect it before buying. Some are trashed. Mine was in super shape. But still required quite a bit but still a savings. Here is the list. 1. Dashboard needed covers for center where cop stuff was. Charge port panels. Ebay. Center console also ebay item. 2.Spare tire and jack. Ebay as well. 3. Tires do not buy the cop tires they are 400.00 bucks each. Brake pads all the way around. 4. Control arms 4 in front. 5. Shocks in rear. 6.Struts in front pair. 7.Tune up be warned spark plugs 16 in total at 17.50 each. 8. Transmission service fluid filter. Ok that is everything 2013 charger police pursuit = Dodge str8 at dealer was selling for 15 thousand. I paid 6500. 6500. Bought 600. Four tires 450. Control arms installed moog. 250 struts installed 220 shocks installed. 150 brake pads installed 89. Spare tire and jack ebay. 300. Dash and center console parts I installed these myself. Plug and play screws not hard. 400 plugs transmission service installed. 82950. Tax plates not included. But still less than buying anywhere else. And it is 100% correct. Bullet proof doors stab proof seats faster than most cars out there. A blast to drive as many people think you are a cop. Slow down get out of your way. Give you food drinks Yada Yada. Once a cop did not even pull out running radar. Waved I waved back almost had a heart attack as I was speeding would have been in jail. That was the last time I ever went that fast as I figured my luck had been used up with that break.
1st Car Purchase
When I turned 16 and got the extra truck my parents had, I knew I wanted something else. Living in Michigan, I needed something that could handle the winter and turn heads on the road. After months of searching, I landed on the only AWD muscle car. I made sure to get the 5.7 V8 that purrs like a classic muscle and drives with good pickup. I love my charger, my friends love it, and I think if Dodge adds AWD to their new V8 chargers, I’d have to end up getting one of those too!

Eye Catcher.
It is an SXT Plus. A tier above the SXT. Edmunds didn't have a choice to check for the 'Plus' version. Black. We love the overall appearance and, it received compliments. Not a look-a-like vehicle. Very smooth and quiet ride.

Great in the snow!
We just had 16 inches of snow and the AWD SXT 8 speed handles it better than my Mazda Tribute SUV. Braking and cornering is a dream. I can't even tell when the vehicle is shifting gears... smooth as butter with great exceleration when you need it. All in a V6! We are averaging 24 mpg (mostly highway). Better than the soccer-mom-van we traded in for our "midlife crisis" car. JK. Actually, we plan on giving this vehicle to our daughter after she learns to drive. I feel happy she will be getting a "hand me down" this safe.
Lost Chrysler Customer
I will never purchase another vehicle manufactured by Fiat Chrysler. My car was in the shop for more than 70 days within a 8 month timeframe. I was left on the side of the road four different times within those 8 months. Work was completed under warranty by three different certified dealerships. I had more than 10 different case managers at Chrysler Customer Care with varying levels of competence. One actually suggested I call my insurance company. Another wanted me to wait on the side of the road until the next morning. This all started with a recall issue which I then had to have re-repaired over and over to fix additional damages that were caused by poor workmanship. A Dodge dealership is now offering me only $16,000 for a car I paid $42,000 for. I had to pay to replace my battery when they left my lights on waiting for repair. They didn't properly reimburse the rental car company either, which resulted in me being put on a "Do Not Rent" list until I covered the charges. Horrible, horrible experience.
