2012 Dodge Charger value
By the DealScan team · Updated 2026-07-11
Quick answer
A 2012 Dodge Charger in good condition with average mileage (about 175,000 miles) is worth roughly $7,500 in a private-party sale — a fair range of $6,900 to $8,100, or about $8,650 at a dealer. Note: 2012 is a flagged year for this model (2011–2014 (unverified TIPM)) — The power module's fuel-relay failures cause no-starts and stranded owners. Ask for the fix history; aftermarket solutions exist and work. Expect to pay at the lower end and budget for that risk.

See all Dodge Charger years to avoidWhat to check before you pay
- 2011–2014: TIPM (integrated power module) failures causing fuel-pump relay and no-start problems; documented fixes exist, so ask
- 5.7L Hemi: lifter and camshaft wear (the Hemi tick); audible ticking warm is a four-figure job waiting
- 2011–2014 5-speed is dated but tough; the 2015+ ZF 8-speed is the better gearbox in every way
