What to check before buying a used Dodge Challenger

Many performance coupes are modified — ask about tunes, exhaust and suspension changes.
Check clutch engagement point and slipping under acceleration.
Inspect rear tires and differential for signs of hard launches.
Run a history report: sports cars have higher accident rates.
Run a VIN history report and compare the mileage with the odometer and the condition of the pedals, steering wheel and seats.
Make sure the title is in the seller's name, is not salvage/rebuilt (unless priced accordingly), and has no lien.

Dodge reliability: what owners should know

The 5.7L HEMI can develop lifter and camshaft wear ("HEMI tick"). Check Grand Caravan transmissions and power sliding doors. Many Chargers are ex-police cars with high idle hours. Older Ram 1500s are prone to rear wheel-arch and cab-corner rust.

How to get a good price on a used Challenger
