A 2021 Charger lists for around AED 90,000 on CarSwitch \u2014 that&#8217;s roughly 63% less than new. The Mustang holds its value a bit better, which means you pay more secondhand for a similar thrill. Here&#8217;s exactly how they compare.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"background:#F4F5FA;border-inline-start:4px solid #141652;border-radius:6px;padding:18px 22px;margin:28px 0;\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-weight:700;font-size:1.05em;color:#141652;\">The short version<\/p><ul style=\"margin:0;padding-inline-start:22px;line-height:1.7;\">\n<li>A 2021 <a href=\"https:\/\/carswitch.com\/uae\/used-cars\/dodge\/charger\">Dodge Charger<\/a> saves you around AED 151,000 versus buying new \u2014 about 63% off.<\/li>\n<li>A 2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/carswitch.com\/uae\/used-cars\/ford\/mustang\">Ford Mustang<\/a> of similar age saves about 70% versus new, but costs close to AED 85,000 \u2014 not as far below the Charger as you&#8217;d think.<\/li>\n<li>V8 models command roughly a 7% premium over four-cylinder cars on the used market. Worth it if you plan to keep the car.<\/li>\n<li>Cars with a minor accident on record sell for about 9% less \u2014 so check the history and use it as leverage.<\/li>\n<li>Summer months (July\u2013October) tend to run a few percent cheaper across the board.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\n<h2>Dodge Charger price in UAE \u2014 what five years of age actually costs<\/h2>\n\n<p>A brand-new Charger starts at around AED 241,000. A 2021 model? Most are listed around AED 90,000 (CarSwitch listings data, July 2026). That&#8217;s a saving of about AED 151,000 \u2014 more than the used car itself costs.<\/p>\n\n<p>Go a year newer to the 2022 and you&#8217;re looking at around AED 130,000. Still a big saving, but the 2021 is where the value really opens up.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote style=\"background:#F4F5FA;border:0;border-inline-start:4px solid #141652;border-radius:6px;margin:28px 0;padding:20px 24px;font-size:1.08em;line-height:1.65;font-style:normal;\"><p>&#8220;The 2021 Charger is the sweet spot right now.

New, that&#8217;s an AED 281,000 car, so you&#8217;re saving about 70%.<\/p>\n\n<p>That sounds like a bigger discount, but the Mustang is two years older and has covered more road \u2014 around 83,000 km versus about 53,000 km on the 2021 Charger. Age-for-age, the Charger gets you into the muscle car game for less money and fewer kilometres.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Dodge Charger vs Ford Mustang \u2014 the numbers side by side<\/h2>\n\n<table style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:24px 0;font-size:0.95em;\">\n<caption style=\"caption-side:bottom;text-align:start;padding:8px 0 0;font-size:0.85em;color:#6B7280;\">CarSwitch listings data, July 2026.

For a car listed around AED 90,000, that&#8217;s about AED 6,300 extra.<\/p>\n\n<p>V6 models, on the other hand, barely cost more than a four-cylinder \u2014 the difference is less than 1%. So if you&#8217;re choosing between a V6 Charger and a V8, the jump in price is real but not huge. And the V8 tends to hold that premium when you resell, so you&#8217;re not throwing money away.<\/p>\n\n<p>For the Mustang, the same logic applies. The EcoBoost four-cylinder is the entry point. The GT&#8217;s V8 will cost you that 7% extra, but it&#8217;s also what most buyers are actually looking for when they search for a Mustang.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Running costs and insurance<\/h2>\n\n<p>Both cars run on premium petrol, and neither is gentle on fuel. The Charger&#8217;s a bigger, heavier sedan \u2014 figure around 14\u201316 litres per 100 km for the V8. The Mustang GT drinks roughly the same, though it&#8217;s lighter so highway cruising is slightly kinder.<\/p>\n\n<p>Insurance in the UAE typically runs 2.5%\u20133.5% of the car&#8217;s value for a muscle car. On a Charger at AED 90,000, that&#8217;s roughly AED 2,300\u20133,200 a year. On a Mustang at AED 85,000, it&#8217;s in the same range. No meaningful difference.<\/p>\n\n<p>Where it matters: Dodge parts are widely available across Dubai through the Stellantis network. Ford parts are similarly well-stocked. Neither car will leave you waiting weeks for a service part.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Accident history matters more than you think<\/h2>\n\n<p>Cars with a minor accident on record sell for about 9% less than clean-history cars. On a Charger listed at AED 90,000, that&#8217;s a gap of about AED 8,000. Every car on CarSwitch is inspection-verified, so you&#8217;ll know exactly what you&#8217;re looking at \u2014 no surprises after the handshake.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"background:#FFFFFF;border:1px solid #E1E4F0;border-inline-start:4px solid #FF5450;border-radius:6px;padding:16px 20px;margin:28px 0;line-height:1.7;\"><strong style=\"color:#141652;font-weight:700;\">From CarSwitch data<\/strong><br>\n2021 Dodge Charger: AED 89,998 \u2014 saves AED 150,952 vs new (63% off)<br>\n2019 Ford Mustang: AED 84,450 \u2014 saves AED 196,845 vs new (70% off)<br>\nV8 premium on the used market: 7% over four-cylinder models<\/div>\n\n<h2>When to buy<\/h2>\n\n<p>Prices across the UAE used market dip from July through October \u2014 about 2\u20133% below the yearly level.

If you can wait for summer, your money goes a little further.<\/p>\n\n<h2>So which one should you buy?<\/h2>\n\n<p>If you want four doors, a proper boot, and the lowest entry price for a V8, the Charger wins. The 2021 model is five years old, has low mileage, and saves you over AED 150,000 versus new.<\/p>\n\n<p>If you want a coupe, rear-wheel-drive thrills, and you don&#8217;t mind a slightly older car, the Mustang is the one. It&#8217;s held its value well, but that means you pay more per year of age.<\/p>\n\n<p>Both are solid muscle cars. Both are straightforward to maintain in the UAE. The Charger is the smarter financial move. The Mustang is the more emotional one.
