Got It! Five Days and Loving The 300C! by hickory

We were planning to order our 2006 300C AWD, and searched on the Chrysler website so we could find one (any AWD C version) in the 2006 year to test drive - I know there haven't been many changes, but I wanted to see it for myself.
 
A dealer about 30 miles away had one that sounded like a good fit for a test drive.
 
We went there Saturday morning and took it for a spin. Walked around and kicked the tires, chatted briefly with the salesperson and left. (Sales guy: What was your purpose in visiting us today? Us (honestly): We just wanted to actually SEE a 2006 and drive it, so we can make a decision about ordering.)
 
Went to lunch (back near our house). Talked and talked. Car (on lot) had everything we wanted, except had 2nd level Sound/Nav package instead of 1st level (7 speakers, bigger amp) - in addition to Nav/sound, we got UConnect, Sirius, Protection Group, moonroof, etc., almost everything offered. Car also did NOT have the stuff we didn't want (DVD system in rear seat, smokers' group, engine block heater). Brilliant Black, our first-choice color.
 
Although we've bought our past 2 Chryslers from a closer dealer, and had spoken with them about getting a 300C, we had received NO follow-up calls, etc., despite our request to keep us informed when a 2006 showed up. So, decided we didn't owe loyalty to that dealer.
 
Went back to test-drive dealer and sat down to "talk turkey." MSRP/selling price: $40,845. Lease term: 39 months. Mileage/yr during lease: 18k. Initial price immediately came down to high $38k (I don't remember exact number) and lease info worked out. We drove the car home about 2 hours after we walked back in the door.
 
Absolutely love the car - and so does everyone else who's seen it. (The owners of the company I work for tell me it "looks good in our parking lot.")
 
The dealer we used: Contemporary Chrysler Dodge, Milford NH.
 
Like someone above, I'm interested in the "Bentley"-style grill. Any recommendations for which one actually fits best and is highest quality? (I found a plethora of them on ebay.)

Hi I am looking into buying a chrysler 300 and most likely used because i want to spend around the 27k neighborhood. I am really interrested in the 300c but i dont know if i could afford one unless there is a way to get one around the price i am looking for. I know I should be looking at the 05's instead of the 06's to also lower the price as much as possible. Leather is a must and any other additions that it can afford would be nice.
 
ANYONE who can give ANY advice on what i can get with around $27,000 plz do so ...willing to take a bit of miles on it if it can get me the 300c

I began the searches from Edmunds search and Chrysler's search.
First I used my zip code, then zip codes close to me in Central and Northern California.
I was able to check out very many dealerships' inventory. I then asked for a quote on the ones that I liked.
I found the best deal, and then bought the car.
I bought a 2005 Silver Chrysler 300C with everything except for the wood package.
 I could have got a better deal on a 2006.
I wanted the 2005 for the 7year and 70000 mile power train warranty.
I paid $1250.00 below MSRP.
I feel that could have done better if I tried a little harder.
I am happy!

Through my work, I can get any model Chrysler for 1% under invoice. Should I be happy with this deal? Thinking I will pck up a 300 touring as soon as I find one. Anyone done better than this on their own?

Hickory,
 
I am recent new owner of a 2006 300C down in south Florida. It's brilliant black with all of the options except U-conn and the new rear DVD. It came from the dealership with the "Bentley" style grill and a spoiler. All I can say is what a difference in the look the new grill makes over the factory. I saw them all over e-Bay for about $250. That is the best pricing I found on them so far. I highly recommend doing it, it gives the car a whole new look. The first day I drove it to work it turned every head in the parking lot and I had several people stop by my office to compliment on it.
 
Congrats on your new car!
Jeff

On Balance--Deal was OK by varob

I bought my 05 300 Limited in mid-August '04 from Antwerpen Motors in Baltimore after checking all local dealer's inventories via the Chrysler web site in the Baltimore/Washington area. I tried to buy from Cowles in Woodbridge, VA, closer to home, but I couldn't get them to call me back. They were totally non-responsive. The salesman who finally called me said he located what I wanted in the area and could have it the next day. I already knew that since I had scoured the web site. I got a thousand off the sticker, plus a thousand rebate, but they low-balled me on my '99 Concorde LXi trade-in. I wanted the 300 so I closed the deal. Had to laugh a bit since the salesman had a "What Would Jesus Do?" sign by his desk. Well, I guess Jesus would low-ball the trade-in. In fairness, the 99 had 160K miles on it.
 
I love this car. One recall re: the radiator support brackets was fixed and I lost a rocker panel to road debris, but it runs great, has none of the defects mentioned by many others, and gets reasonably gas mileage-19/26.

I was offered a 2006 300C today for $35789. It is equipped with Protection Group II, Power Sunroof, and High Intensity headlights as only options. Silver in color.
 
MSRP is 36,585 and invoice is 33, 884. Is this a reasonable deal? Thanks, ES
