2016 DODGE CHARGER

If you've been searching for a 2016 Dodge Charger SE Sedan for sale in the Portland metro area, this rear-wheel-drive muscle sedan at Superstar Motorz in Milwaukie, Oregon deserves a serious look. With its bold stance, V6 power, and smooth 8-speed automatic transmission, this Charger delivers the kind of driving experience that keeps enthusiasts coming back — and at a price point that makes it accessible to everyday buyers across Clackamas County.

About This 2016 Dodge Charger SE Sedan

This 2016 Charger SE comes in as a high-mileage example with 154,404 miles on the odometer — and that number deserves context. The 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 paired with Dodge's 8-speed automatic is one of the more durable powertrains in the American sedan segment. Many Charger owners routinely push past 150,000 miles with regular oil changes and basic maintenance, and the platform holds up well structurally. If you're a buyer who does your homework, keeps up with fluids, and wants a full-size American sedan without overpaying, this is exactly the kind of vehicle worth considering.

As the entry-level SE trim, this Charger gives you the full Charger experience — the wide-body silhouette, the aggressive nose, the rear-wheel-drive layout — without the premium price tag of an R/T or Scat Pack. It's the smart buy for someone who wants the look and the platform, not necessarily the bragging rights of a bigger engine.

2016 Dodge Charger Performance and Engine

Under the hood sits Dodge's 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, one of the most widely praised naturally aspirated V6 engines in the domestic auto industry. This engine produces a solid output that's more than adequate for daily commuting, highway cruising, and the occasional spirited on-ramp merge. It's mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission with AutoStick, which allows the driver to manually select gears for a more engaged driving experience when you want it.

The rear-wheel-drive layout is what separates the Charger from most of its full-size sedan competitors. RWD gives you a more balanced, driver-focused feel — especially noticeable when cornering or accelerating from a stop. For buyers in the Milwaukie and greater Clackamas County area who want something that actually feels like a performance car to drive, the Charger's RWD setup delivers in ways that front-wheel-drive alternatives simply can't match.

Dodge Charger SE Features and Interior

The 2016 Charger SE comes well-equipped for its trim level. Inside, you'll find a spacious cabin that genuinely seats five adults — a rarity in the age of shrinking sedans. The rear seat legroom in a Charger is class-leading, making it a practical choice for families who don't want to sacrifice performance for space.

The SE trim typically includes Dodge's Uconnect infotainment system, which was well-regarded in this generation for its intuitive interface and responsive touchscreen. Bluetooth connectivity, steering wheel-mounted controls, and a multi-function display in the instrument cluster are standard expectations at this trim. The interior layout is driver-centric, with a wide center console and clear gauges that keep the focus where it belongs — on the road.

Dodge Charger Reliability and Ownership

The Pentastar 3.6-liter V6 has earned a strong reputation across multiple Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep platforms — it's the same engine used in the Grand Cherokee, the Challenger, and dozens of other vehicles, which means parts availability is excellent and independent mechanics are very familiar with it. Common maintenance items to stay on top of include spark plugs, the valve cover gaskets (a known interval item on higher-mileage Pentastars), and transmission fluid changes.

At over 150,000 miles, a pre-purchase inspection from a trusted independent mechanic is always a smart move. That said, Charger owners who've maintained their cars consistently report strong longevity from this generation. The body structure is solid, rust tends to be manageable in Oregon compared to salt-belt states, and suspension components are straightforward to service. This is a car you can keep running reliably with reasonable investment.

It's practical, roomy, and genuinely fun to drive in a way that most sedans in its class aren't.
 

How many miles is too many on a 2016 Dodge Charger?

The Pentastar V6 is known for longevity when properly maintained. Many examples run reliably well past 200,000 miles. At 154,404 miles, this Charger has life left — the key is knowing the maintenance history and having it inspected before purchase. Miles alone don't tell the whole story; condition and care matter more.
 

What does the Charger SE trim include?

The SE is the base Charger trim, but it's not stripped down. It includes Dodge's Uconnect infotainment system, Bluetooth, cruise control, air conditioning, power windows and locks, and the full Charger exterior design. It's everything you need for daily driving without the cost of higher trims.
 

Is rear-wheel drive a problem in Oregon winters?

RWD does require more attentiveness in wet or snowy conditions, but most of the Portland metro area — including Milwaukie and Clackamas County — sees rain far more than snow.
