I Want To Buy Dodge Charger And Here Is My Fear by BALLOSKI: 5:09pm On Aug 12, 2023
I'm in love with dodge charger or challenger, but I have serious fear about their maintenance. I'm not even worried about their fuel consumption cos their MPG is good for their power.

Which year of the dodge series is better?

My fear is getting parts, the right "mechanic", cost of maintenance, etc, in Nigeria.

Those who know more about it, or those who own it and experienced auto Nlers, I need your honest input and guidance.

There's nothing to be afraid of, coz maintenance of Dodge vehicles are relatively cheap and the parts are available. Secondly, any mechanic that specializes in America cars such as "Chrysler, Ford, Jaguar, GMC, Buick, Chevrolet, Cherokee", can comfortably fix Dodge Challenger/Charger as well.
You want to know which model is better between Dodge Challenger & Charger, right?
I will recommend 2013 Dodge Challenger 3.6-liter V6 or 2009 Dodge Charger HEMI-V8. But you're free to go for the newer model like 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon.

Well since fuel economy isn't your major issue you can buy. Charger is like a normal car, nothing spectacular about it, the camry of the dodge family.

Well the challenger is a 2 door coupe muscle car. Nah the V8 upwards go give you better orgasm.

The parts may be a bit pricey, those vehicles are solid sha the major constraints is technical know how, just ensure to buy scanner and utilize b4 work is done on the vehicle. If in lagos radautos got all the parts you need. Also they are both related to the Benz E and S class of same year and the Chrysler 300 so parts may be interchangeable

I've been thinking about the scanner too. It'd be good I have one before hand.

how to effectively manage and maintain here in Nigeria. If it's good for the Nigerian road. The ease of sourcing parts and a good mechanic to handle it, etc.

i'd definitely have to reach out to you off here.

This is informative! I'm relieved by this information.

Yes, bro!

For further info:
any specific reasons you prefer these 2, bro? I kind of like challenger 2013 and charger 2016, but the expert opinion like yours is what i'm relying on.

Those cars have huge aftermarket support for parts and also OEM aren't too difficult to come by, but not as common as Japanese.
It's a good car, they're not too bad, people who had owned them have enjoyed them. I know 3 people who owned them in the past. I don't know about other mechanic, but I can fix them.

wow...

How's the consumption compared to other models that came after?

windvane:
the sound alone when I turn on the car leaves people staring at the machine.
cool cool

Na wetin de burst my brain be this.

Did it come like that with the sound? Possibly an "exhaust addict" who owned it first did the muffler delete or straight pipe exhaust work on it.

There's a 2007 model we took to a wedding in 2011, it sounded like a power bike. When we arrived, we snatched the groom from his men. Big masquerade has landed. Who no like better thing? grin

windvane:
Some one up there talked about scanning,do not buy a scanner,every dodge charger comes with an inbuilt scanner.
oh! Never knew. It tells what's wrong with it straight up. Good feature.

windvane:
Some one said ,dodge is like every other car,I am sure that person has never bought one to use.the handling is on another level(well maybe the sport edition I drive)
That is why I'm looking for someone with a firsthand experience. But some people are experienced in terms of general autos, hence, the need to consult widely.

windvane:
if you are in Lagos,I can let you test drive mine.
Mehn!!! I for no mind ooh. I fell in love with dodge over 10 years ago. If I test-drive your own to relaunch my dodge return, it'd be nice. I no dey Lagos like this. Chaii.

windvane:
i live in an area with bad road,reason I went for a dodge and I have no reason to regret.i was using Acura before but na every month I dey change stabilizer bushing.its a never ride I would say
The leg rugged like that? Good news.

How far with the cost of maintenance? Abi na only fuel de gulp your money?

My eyes dey charger or challenger SRT 401Hp.

you know that deep power sound consumes fuel,it comes with all sport edition SXT.
The leg is rugged and it's part sef no too cost.
I use a 22" rim so it makes movement in flooded area smooth.
apart from fuel,no other serious thing to spend fund on,maybe shocks!!
