A reporter hopes to interview a Chrysler 300 owner whose previous vehicle (immediately previous) was an import or foreign-based brand. Please respond to jfallonedmunds.com by Friday, July 29, 2005, and provide your daytime contact information and vehicle history.

Here's my suggestion on what to do with your warranty if you feel you've overpaid. I'd suggest you go back to the dealership and cancel it. You'll get your refund from Chrysler (even it it's slightly prorated) but then you can purchase the 7/70 Maximum Care Plan for $1320 with/$0 deductible; MSRP for this plan is $1620 (go to http://www.extended-warranty-pro.com/770.html for more details, link you to Siemans Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep). This is a 5-star Chrysler dealership and you are buying an actual Chrysler extended warranty, not some 3rd party warranty. You can even finance it with zero interest for 12 months through Chrysler. The dealership will charge you $110 to start but the remaining $1210 balance will be paid over the next 11 months (my guess is the $1210 is what Chrysler charges for the warranty and anything above that is what the dealer keeps, in this case $110.). Best of all you can wait to purchase the extended warranty for up to 12 months for the in-service date of you car without any added surcharge.
 
I ordered my new warranty in early August for my 300 that I bought in September '04 and got my warranty paperwork from Chrysler 3 weeks later. The service people at the dealership were very helpful and professional.
 
For those looking for a new Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep vehicle I would suggest you use the information from Siemans's website to get your dealership of choice to give you a better deal on the extended warranty. If they refuse and you still want the warranty simply buy it from the guys at Siemans.

Hello everyone I was wondering if anyone knew what the invoice price is on a 2006 300c? I see that some people are paying invoice +1% that sounds like a great deal to me… Is California car buyers paying more for there cars?
 
I purchased a Land Rover LR3 for the full sticker price… I’m not making that mistake again!
 
Thanks for all your help!

Finally bought 300 by minus200

After waiting from May 27th till mid Sept for a dealer to get my 300 with no results I found one in stock at a local dealer. I had given a $500 deposit to order a car and they would not tell me when they could get my car and now they refuse to return my money here at the end of Sept and they still have no car. The car I ended up buying has the Cirrus Radio and the handling package that I did not order. I bought this car with extra equipment and the power pedals for less than the other dealer although that is NOT the reason I bought this one. I paid $25,606 with taxes, doc fee and everything else. Silver steel 300 base. So far I have been very pleased although the rear drivers side exterior door handle was a different color (magnesium i think) Very pleasant buying experience with Chuck Steven Chrysler and all the purchasing was done over the phone and payment when I picked up the car. So far it seems like a very solid automobile. I am having a hard time finding aftermarket 17" wheels to replace the UGLY ones that came on the car. I have ordered a wood grain dash kit that should be installed early next week. I will probably add a stainless trim around the wheel fenders and chrome door handles. I suppose I will spend near $1500 on the extras of which the chrome wheels will be the largest part

CONGRADULATIONS, I am glad to see that you are finally happy. I am very interested as well in the base model but I am not so sure about the 2.7L opposed to the 3.5L but I can get the Base silver steel for $500 below invoice which would be 22,788 (not including tax). How were you able to get the car for that price with tax and with the cirrus radio/handling package, ect. Also what interest rate did you get it financed for? I want to finance through the dealer but I am scared that they are going to give me a rate higher than what I really qualify for. This deal is only good til this friday Sept. 30 What should I do? My credit score is 830.

Whoa! You should be able to get an excellent rate with that credit score. The best thing to do is to apply for financing through your bank or credit union (TODAY!!) or use an online service like eloan.com where you get offers back very quickly. Then you will have at least ONE number that you know you can get. Take it with you to the dealership, but don't show it to them until you've applied for financing through DCX Financial. If their rate comes back higher than what you were able to get on the open market, pull out your quote from the other lending institution and tell them that you need them to beat that rate in order to finance through DCX.
 
They'll either be able to do it, or they won't - credit scores don't tell the whole story, but if you have the income, job history, and credit history to back up the score, you should be able to get a good rate. Unfortunately, at least in my area, DCX isn't offering a special APR on this vehicle.

So are you saying that I should apply for a loan at my bank, onilne, and at the dealer? Yes, I am aware that DCX isnt offering a special ARR on this vehicle. Do you know if they will be offering any type of deal in the near future. I know the current promotion ends Oct. 3rd which really isnt anything ($500 rebate). So do you have any inside info or projected info on this matter as to when they will offer a special APR on this vehicle? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

No, no inside info - DCX doesn't even release upcoming promotions to dealerships til the time they're offered, and it's difficult to predict future incentives. However, on a hot-seller, I'd say it's not likely.
 
And yes, I would apply for a loan at EITHER my bank OR online - no need to do both, really. Then apply at the dealer to see if they meet or beat the offer you've already got.
