According to their web site, you can order a new 300C for invoice less $319 in Bartlesville, OK at the Chrysler dealer there. You keep the $1,000 loyalty money too.

I did not get u-connect or the DVD player. I got the pedals, HID, sunroof, Navigation, wood trim, sound 2, protection 2, Sirius,...uhm...I can't recall if the back-up sensor was optional, but it's there.
 
The loyalty discount I had to fight for, and I'm still ticked about that. They claimed no such rebate existed, and I had to literally make them call Chrysler THREE TIMES before they finally relented and took the $1000 off...which got us to 34,500 thereabouts.
 
The funny part is, I went to this dealership around the end of January, and they offered me the car right around invoice right then and there, for a pre-ordered allocation. No haggling involved at all! I was stunned. I had downloaded Edmunds invoice price and went in there intent on getting it, and they were so close with their opening offer, I never checked to see if it was exact or not. I imagine they made something, or else the manufacturer's kickback on these was enough.
 
Dealerships are funny that way when they're hurting on sales. I remember walking into a Jeep dealership with an Edmunds fax invoice (back before Edmunds was on the internet) and pushed it across to the sales guy and exclaimed "According to this you paid $23750 to get this Jeep and that's all that what I will pay". The salesman smiled, giggled, then explained "You realize the price I handed you when you came in here is less than this figure, right?"
 
Oh man, was that ever embarrassing.

I've been lurking here for the past several days. I've been interested in the 300C and have been visiting numerous dealers. Well. today I found what I want. It has a few more options than I needed, however with the brouhaha with the infamous sunroofs, I decided to go for it. I didn't want to wait.
 
I am getting the Cool Vanilla, all options except the cell phone u-connect, winter pack and smokers pack. You guys are right. These dealers are tough. The best I could do was $500 below sticker along with an accurate price on my trade. I even went to walk out the door and they were letting me go. I just couldn't do it. I had to get that car.
 
I generally buy a new car every year or so and adamantly refuse to pay above invoice. This time I failed. I feel like a loser. Oh well, I pick it up at 5pm.
 
By the way you guys that ordered yours are getting the shaft if they haven't been delivered yet. I was at a dealer on Saturday that ordered one in November,it was built in February, and he still hasn't gotten it yet. Now in shopping the internet for dealers in my area, the one I chose showed the Serius radio on the sticker for $195 with one year free service as opposed to the previous $325. charge. I figured that this must be a recently built one. I looked at the build date on the drivers door. It was 5/04. Hell, this is only the 10th. Something is definitely wrong in their distribution train.
 
One other thing. I was under the impression that there was a $1000. owner loyalty discount along with the $1000. Chrysler finance discount. Not so. Contrary to everything I read, the finance discount takes place of the loyalty discount. I had the dealer call the regional rep. while I stood there, and I also called Chrysler myself when I got home.

Just picked up a 300C loaded on Saturday in Gainesville Ga. I live in the Atlanta area and had been looking for a Magnesium 300C with protection group/sound/... everything but navigation. (which no one has anyway) It took a week and searching dealerships all over north georgia but I found it. Paid sticker... no premium. I expected to pay sticker, this car is hot. Am very happy... fantastic car to drive and is turning heads everywhere. I would advise getting the hemi. The v/6 just doesn't cut it.

I'd like everyone to know there are deals to be had on 300c's if you are willing to look around. I live in New Jersey and I couldnt find a dealer in my area that would budge on the sticker price. Using the internet I located a fully loaded midnight blue 300c at Reedmans, Langhorne, Pa. The wife and I took the 1 hour ride out there yesterday. The sticker was $38,630. After negotiating with the sales mgr for almost an hour the dealership discounted the car by $1530 and an additional $1000 because our 300m was financed thru chrysler financial. Total cost out the door was $36,100, though I will have to pay sales tax when I register it in NJ. The car is gorgeous, the hemi is powerful, and the navigation/boston acoustics stereo is awesome. I highly recommend this car to anyone in the market for a new set of wheels. The best part of this deal is my wife says she is fine using the 300m as her personal car and I get to drive the 300c!

I ordered a 300C fully loaded on 27 April, got the VIN today and it is at D1 (scheduled to build). I paid significantly below MSRP and I have a dealer who is willing to place orders for at least $1K below MSRP. Dealer is in the Bay area, I don't want to post name online because of all the screaming the other dealers do about someone having the nerve to place sub MSRP orders. Dennis, or anyone else who want to order (your not going to get a deal on a in-stock) get me an Email address and I'll hook you up.

See my post #50. If your going to order, I have a good Bay Area source. Disclaimer: I don't work for anybody, let alone a dealer.

A magazine reporter is hoping to interview buyers of the new Chrysler 300 and Dodge Magnum who hadn't previously owned Chrysler products, or who moved from an SUV into one of these vehicles.
Please respond to jfallonedmunds.com by Wednesday, May 19, 2004 with your recent automotive history and daytime phone number.

Trade in for Chrysler 300 by dap

I was talking to 2 dealers about a 05 300. One offered me $19k and the other $20k for my loaded 01 Chev Tahoe LT. This Tahoe has every option available. I was not very happy with the trade in price since I work for a financial institution and finance vehicles everyday and know what they will probably sell the Tahoe for. My husband called me from work yesterday and said that he heard that we could get 1% below invoice through a Chrysler program available with his company. I called the dealer and told them what I had just found out and they told me that they could do that but they would have to lower the price on my trade in. This program will not change the amount that they sell my Tahoe for. Sounds like no benefit to having this program. The dealer wants me to pay the same amount out the door. I'm thinking about contacting Chrysler Corp. I'm open for any thoughts or suggestions.
