#81 of 4893 Pricing on 300C by rusty104 Nov 11, 2003 (5:33 am)
The Buick Ultra with a 3.8 6 240hp lists for $42k, yet you can get it for $34k after the rebate. The actual price for a 300 with a comparable engine will have to be competitive with whatever that Buick is selling for at that time. Except for perhaps a short time after it is first introduced, the 300's will not be selling anywhere near list (unless DC does what I think would be smart and sticker the car closer to what they can really get for it). So in today's market I would think the 300C would actually sell for starting in the high 30's even though the sticker would be in the 40's.

Also, the V6 powered 300's will be much cheaper, probably $25,000 to $30,000.

The low end 300 models will be targeted at V6 Accords and Camrys, so there's no way they'll be anywhere near $40K with the 2.7L V6. I expect only the most heavily optioned 300 to barely break $40K, much like the Pacifica or Town & Country.   - Mark
#84 of 4893 low 40s? by ruski Nov 11, 2003 (10:21 am)
I think Chrysler just had a lesson in pricing based on their Pacifica introduction. Or are they totally out of touch with what's going on?
#85 of 4893 300C Touring by rcf8000 Nov 11, 2003 (11:57 am)
Too bad the 300C Touring won't be sold in the US. Its front end looks a lot better than the Magnums, imo. Also, I tend to think of Chrysler dealers as somewhat more upscale than Dodge dealers.
#86 of 4893 Pricing cont'd by rusty104 Nov 11, 2003 (3:27 pm)
I agree with you svevar, but I don't think there will be a lot of options to check on the "C". I may be wrong, but it seems from what I have read that DC wants to upgrade their top end Chrysler. Moving up to a 5.7l HEMI from the 3.5l would merit maybe an $850-$950 price increase. I think they want a lot more than that from their top dog and accordingly will add a lot of standard equipment to it vs. the 3.5l. I also think much of that equipment will not be available even as optional on the rental car 2.7 version. By the way, as much respect as I have for Harman, based on my experience with Boston Acoustics, I wouldn't be surprised if they give M-L in the Lexus a run for its money in the "C's" audio department.

V6 to V8 will probably be at least $2,000.
#88 of 4893 rusty104 by svevar Nov 11, 2003 (6:04 pm)
Yes, I agree that the 300C, like the current 300M, will likely have very few options, instead coming fully loaded out of the box. I'd bet that only the base and Touring models will have extensive options lists. Perhaps All Wheel Drive will be among the 300C's options?   http://autoweek.com/cat_content.mv?port_code=autoweek&cat_cod- e=carnews&loc_code=index&content_code=04160646

What you say makes sense to me and thanks for the link.

just saw the concept 300C Hemi at the Miami Auto Show. Not bad. Definitely doesn't even smell like 300M.
