It isn't a real good idea to put your e-mail address in your post.. You can make your e-mail public in your profile, by clicking on the "preferences" button on the left side of the page.. Then, other members can see your e-mail by clicking on your user name. That will keep it away from the spammers, as well..
 
Not only that.. we like to have the information exchanged here... so, everyone can benefit from it.

Bought Chry-Cert Preowned 2005 300C, 14.4k miles by goofytiml

We purchased a Chrysler-Certified pre-owned 300C RWD from our local dealer about two weeks ago. We had purchased our T&C Van there 11 years ago. The 300C was purchased in Aug. 2004 originally and driven locally. The owner traded in for some kind of SUV for greater security during WV/OH winters. It was in mint condition as far as I could tell. CarFax and Maintenance/Service history were available. Price was as seen first on AutoTrader.com: $29,999. Dealer website had it listed for $33k+, but the drive-by revealed the $30k value on the window. We traded a '97 Subaru Outback Legacy with 130k for which they allowed $3k.
 
We got the remainder of the 3/36k B-to-B and 7/70k PwrTrn warranty. We are considering the extended warranty for B-to-B for 8/100k (i.e., would have 7 years left). I think the price quoted was $2250 for the Max. Protection plan... I know such can be had for less, but most similar coverages seem to be still in the $2k ballpark. What say any of you?

SRT 8 by bigmike5

Had my M into the dealer for a service yesterday, and saw that he had a Black SRT-8 on the showroom floor. It had 1,500 miles on the odometer, so it must have been an exec car. It looked pretty sweet inside and the 6.1 had my heart pumping hard. Then I looked at the wheels and saw that it was shod with Badyear RS-A tires. You have got to be kidding me. DC just never learns. They should have made Michelins standard. Oh, well, anyone interested in an SRT-8, the dealer in Elizabethtown, KY has one, with the Bentley style grill too.

In my newspaper today, a local 5 star dealer advertised base 300 (2006, not 2005) at $19,991. How is this possible??

Are you sure? Did you read the fine print? A lot of times these offers will have teeny print at the bottom indicating something like "assuming $6,000 trade allowance," and "after all rebates & incentives." I haven't seen one advertised anything like that low, so the catch is likely in there somewhere.

How to purchase on Internet by tjbennett

Can anyone tell me how you go about getting a 300 online? You all talk about invoice + 1% pricing and other things. I went to the local dealers websites and asked for qoutes and all I got back were emails telling me to stop by the dealership and we could talk. How do you purchase on the Internet?

Here is what I did to buy our C:
 
1. Went to the Chrysler.com website. Put in the zipcode(s) I was willing to drive to to buy one.
 
2. Searched the inventory for the 300C equipped the way I wanted. (The VIN and window sticker can be viewed online.) I looked at all dealers within 100 miles of home--all you need is the zipcodes for the towns of those dealers
 
3. There was a link to email the dealer. I sent a message to them.
 
4. The reply came back that they would sell for invoice + 1% if I was ready to deal on that specific 300C.
 
5. I set up the appointment.
 
6. Set up financing through my credit union
 
7. Drove to the dealership at the appointed time.
 
8. Met the internet salesman who gave me a complete demonstration of the car, let me drive it. (Loved it, of course.) It was exactly the car on the website--you can get the VIN and see the window sticker on the computer)We sent inside and went through the numbers one by one.
 
9. Bought the C for the invoice +1% (actually for less than invoice given the $500 rebate).
 
10. Figured I saved nearly $2000 from what I had been able to do just walking cold into a dealership (believe me, I tried that)
 
10. Drove it home.
 
11. Answered all the questions from people stopping me on the street. I never got comments about a car like I did when driving this one.
 
12. I think I can tell you the dealership is in Myrtle Beach, SC
 
13. Enjoying the ride, 6000 miles and 4 months later.

Hi Car_Man;
  
I have been looking at the 300C and Limited and am about to start negotiating with local dealers. Before I start the process, I'd like to know what the likelihood is of better incentives in January as opposed to making a deal in December.
  
Thanks.
