That sounds good, hope it's true. Would you mind telling us her name, so we can use it. I'm also sending Chrysler an E/Mail requesting information on the "sold order protection program," I'll let you know what they tell me.

"I have two C's, one manufactured on February with a base price of $26,740 and the other on June with a base of $32,370. Is a whopping increase of $5,630 in just 4 months." The 300C was never offered  $26,740 MSRP. This must have been a 300 touring.

I test drove a 300 limited and enjoyed it but couldn't afford a C version... or so I thought. My wife really liked the Caddy CTS which were selling at invoice with 1.9% interest. Gorgeous cars but the radio was awful and required a Bose upgrade. The Bose stereo came with the loaded cars and thus a much higher price tag. Furthermore, they low balled my 2 trades. I visited my local Chrysler dealer who had all the 300C's in the front. Each one was $39000. I wanted a 300C after reading all the posts here and listening to everyone brag about the Hemi. I went to another dealer who had one in Vanilla-my favorite color but jerked me around by offering me payments prices and refused to breakdown the numbers so I could see how much my trades were worth, interest rate, etc... I took my niece back to my local dealer who had a 300c in the back which had only a sunroof option for $34000 and change. Having been pricing Caddys I knew this was in my price range. I looked through the window and saw the heated seats switches (I had to have heated seats and a great stereo) and took it for a test drive. Two hours later it was mine. They gave me a good trade in amount and I purchased a 7/70,000 zero deductible warranty. Upon receiving my new car I noticed 2 paint chips in the hood and the salesman said he would take care of them on Monday and detail the care-this was Saturday evening. I return on Monday and they took my car to send to a body shop for the paint repair. I was worried they were going to just use touch-up paint so I am happy. Over the weekend, I realized they gave me the second tier warranty plan when I thought I'd purchased the Maxi care plan which covers almost everything. I explain this to the manager who after a brief discussion gave me the maxi care plan for no charge-another plus from the dealer. I can't wait to get my car back but I have lots of patience cause I want them to do it right! They offered me a rental but I refused because I can do fine with one car for now. Well lets talk about the car.... simply awesome! It rides like a Lincoln (I've owned a couple), handles excellent and has great acceleration. It's the coolest car I have ever owned. The stereo is fantastic and the cabin is quiet. The base Hemi comes loaded! The only thing I found is that I keep trying to use the cruise control lever as the turn signal stalk and the speed odometer is a little difficult to read. I have no sqeaks or rattles. I also have a Regal GSE with a supercharged V6 so the hemi engine doesn't quite knock my socks off since I'm used to driving a car with very strong acceleration. However, I think having a fast car is advantageous cause it allows you to take charge of your driving scenario. If your stuck in a pack of cars on the highway, you just simply leave by pressing the gas pedal. Have to pass a slow driver...not a problem. There's no second guessing your car-it will move!! I wish I could have some of the available options like side curtains and the navigation system but I'm really pushing my pocketbook. I had to finance for six years and the dealer charged me 7.8% interest from Chrysler financial. As soon as I receive my payment book I'm going to refinance my loan for 5.25%. There is no prepayment penalty and I took the $1000 rebate which forced me to finance through Chrysler. I wonder how much the dealer bumped up the interest rate to take their share? Finally, my experience with Brunswick Automart was excellent and if my car comes back with the chip repair looking flawless, I will fire off a glowing letter to the prez of Chrysler for the wonderful buying experience and customer service I received. I hope my positive relationship with Chrysler continues and I hope this first year model is a winner in terms of quality. |

Hi, am debating weather to lease/balloon for finance the C i ordered. I got quoted a 5 year 3.99% apr from a local credit union in NY. I also got quoted a 4.49% for 6 years. I ordered the C for 36 months with the balloon. My question is, would you guys do straight financing for 5/6 years or would you do the 3 year balloon? the payments are about $20 a month cheaper when i spread out the payments for 6 years. Thanks |
