Replying to: salc1 (Dec 16, 2005 8:58 pm) I think that is a fair deal for you and the dealer. Take it and enjoy the C.
#396 of 487 December pricing by salc1 Dec 22, 2005 (10:10 am)
I'll be with my local dealer tomorrow looking to finalize a deal on the 300C AWD. Just wanted to check with the forum on latest price quotes. I'm pretty close to invoice right now with the dealer, but would like to know if anyone has found pricing at or below invoice yet.   Would appreciate any replies by day's end. Thanks
#397 of 487 Do u still get the $1000 cash allowance if you pay cash by digitalgravel Dec 22, 2005 (1:56 pm)
i thought that i read somewhere if you get the financing through Chrysler then you can get the 1000 cash allowance but what if i pay cash? Can I still get the cash allowance? This is the bottom line, I have only $30k cash and I want the Signature Series out the door including tax and all for $30,000. I talked to a salesmen and he said that he would give it to me for invoice plus the additional $1000 cash allowance but I dont know if that would be without financing through the dealer. Can someone please help me out? Replies to this message: lenny (Jan 02, 2006 1:51 pm) davew68 (Feb 11, 2006 2:40 pm)
#398 of 487 300C Invoice Price by 300cman Dec 27, 2005 (1:49 pm)
Have been negotiating with my dealer re a 300C AWD. We have agreed to invoice plus $50. However, he lists the invoice of a base price 300C as $32505, while Edmunds lists the price as $32205. Have there been any price increases that have not been captured on the Edmunds.com site. Any replies would be appreciated so that I can deal correctly with my salesman. I will be meeting him again tomorrow to conclude the deal.   Thanks.

Replying to: digitalgravel (Dec 22, 2005 1:56 pm) When I bought my 300c and wanted to pay cash I could not get the $1000 unless I financed. I ended up financing $4000 and you can not pay off for 3 months. The extra $1000 off cost me about $39 in finance charges. Was the way to go as I still saved another $961! (I received the "friends Discount" which was 1% UNDER dealer invoice plus a $25 dollar handling fee) Replies to this message: davew68 (Feb 11, 2006 2:40 pm)

Replying to: lenny (Jan 02, 2006 1:51 pm) Lenny, that 3 month period your dealer was talking about was a recapture period. Basically, if you pay the loan off prior to the 3 months, then the dealer has to pay back a portion of the incentive cash that Chrysler Financial paid them directly. In my case, the dealer charged me 8.99% rate for 60 months when I qualified for 5.5% anywhere else. The dealer was making a huge premium upselling the rate that high, but I had no problems refinancing to the 5.5% rate as soon as I received my account number from Chrysler Financial (about 2 weeks after purchasing). There are no penalties for paying off the loan before 3 months. In my case, it was worth getting the free $1k from Chrysler to pay a higher rate since I knew I would refinance it right away and only pay around a $50 interest premium to do so. As long as you don't have a personal problem with your dealer having to pay some of their back door profit back, then refi that loan asap to a lower rate.   When I purchased my 300C AWD, I had checked the invoice through Edmunds and Kelly Blue Book. Their listed invoice prices were about $600 lower than the dealer's invoice which I did see. The $600 extra had to do with 2 market adjustments in the Chicago area. I'm sure this is probably true in other parts of the country as well. Bottom line, take your printed copies of Edmunds invoice and make sure the dealer shows you their actual invoice to make sure you are negotiating a fair deal. I paid invoice and also got the $1k Chrysler Finance cash, so was actually $1k under. Not a bad deal on a car of this caliber.

does anyone know if you can get a 300c with 20" wheels from a dealer?How much extra would they charge Replies to this message: davew68 (Feb 18, 2006 12:07 pm) prodigous (Feb 18, 2006 1:33 pm) davew68 (Feb 22, 2006 10:51 pm)

Replying to: prodigous (Feb 13, 2006 10:27 pm) If you're not opting for the 300C SRT8, then your car would come with 18" chromes with Continental tires. If you get the 300C AWD, then your car would come with less attractive non-chromed 18" rims. You could have your dealer order you the 20" SRT8 rims, but you'd be looking at roughly $325/rim + approx $275/tire mounted and balanced for the Goodyear F-1's. So figure at least $2500 to upgrade to that package. You'd also want to check to make sure the offset of that rim will work on the 300C. Your dealer should be able to answer that question for you.   You might be better off ordering some aftermarket 20" rims as there are several choices that are much more attractive than the Chrysler rims, and sometimes cheaper too.

Replying to: davew68 (Feb 18, 2006 12:07 pm) Dave,thanks for your comprehensive answer.I was thinking that if the dealer were to charge $2500 for 20" wheels they should give me a credit for the 18" that the car comes with-no?Also from what I read on the forum 20" should be no problem but the 22" are a problem.Do you have any recommendation as to what type wheel to buy?Thanks again.
