#450 of 488 Re: Chrysler 300 Octane [95maxima] by yeayea628 Jan 21, 2007 (7:17 pm)
Replying to: 95maxima (Oct 06, 2006 11:04 am) I purchased a 300C Touring last weekend-pale linen gold-two tone leather-sunroof-upgraded stereo. I asked specifically about the gas grade required and was told regular unleaded is fine. I was reading in the sales brochure that mid grade is recommended for the touring. Mine runs fine on regular. My mechanic grandson said to stick with regular and to keep doing what I usually do (I run a tank of super every three months.) I also own a 96 Maxima -purchased in 2000 for my daughter. That car has made the rounds through my daughter,daughter in law, & sometimes I drove it. Now my stepson is driving it. While it's unarguably a terrific car there is no comparison to the 300! The 300 is so much more car in all ways! (I did look at new Maxima's, Camry's, & Acura's b/f purchasing this 300) Take the plunge-you'll love it!

There's a $2500-$3000 dealer cash incentive til 1.31.07. I just bought a new '06 bright silver Touring ed. with sunroof, protection package, and Sirius radio for 26k even ($2500 below invoice). On top of that I negotiated $500 above KBB dealer trade-in value for my Cirrus. So I drove away paying $3k below invoice. Love the car - best buy on the market.

Replying to: goofytiml (Jan 11, 2007 8:16 pm) My VIN numbers are: 2C3LA63H16H421068 AND 2C3LA63HX6H418024. Both are Inferno Red and loaded. The only difference between them is my wife's has the DVD entertainment system and mine does not. What are you trying to do? Also, do you have any idea why there is nothing identifying these cars as HERITAGE EDITION besides the red, white and blue door badges and the seat emblems? I think there should have been a block lettered chrome badge on the left corner of the trunk that set these beauties apart from the rest. I just say fake Heritage Edition door badges and trim for sale on a website that sells grilles. It was only a matter of time.

Replying to: coolrunning (Jan 29, 2007 10:15 pm) Thanks, but I only needed the last 6 numbers of the VIN. I will begin to post your info line, BUT... I also would like to know the MDH code from each of the drivers doors (that tells the date and time off the mfg line), and the date you brought each of them home.   If you check click the link for the thread at 3CF, you can read what I am trying to do... just establish when the cars were made, and when people brought them home.   Here's the link... again.   Make Our Own Build Sequence for Heritage Editions   BTW... ours has the rear VES also... and our grandkids are oging to love it. Wife already does as a great passtime when on long trip vacations (like last summer).

Replying to: coolrunning (Jan 29, 2007 10:15 pm) Here's what another 300Cforum member put on their CV H.E.     Eventually I think I will do the same.
#455 of 488 There will be a 2007 Heritage Edition run... BUMMER! by goofytiml Jan 30, 2007 (5:24 pm)
Just got an email from Chrysler "Chrysler Update-Chrysler's Future Inspired" in which the cover text concerns the Nassau concept. But at the bottom is a little blurb about:   "Showcasing Our Rich Heritage … Edition   The 2007 Chrysler 300C Heritage Edition unveiled at the NAIAS features:       * Powerful 5.7-liter 340 horsepower HEMI® V8 engine     * SRT-style performance seats     * All chrome grille     * Supplemental signal mirrors with puddle lamps     * Berber floor mats     * Special tribute badging   Doesn't sound any different than the '06 version... just somewhat disappointed to find out that the original run WASN'T the only run! Wonder how many they're going to make this time... and not number them... again. No info on available colors.

Replying to: 300seeker (Feb 13, 2007 4:17 pm) You can contact any DCX employee and get a number to use their discount. I hear each employee has the opportunity to give one person of their choice "less than invoice" pricing. The 300C is a great cat. Had our RWD 06 model since Nov 05. Still looks/drives great. Never thought about the AWD version, but we don't get much snow here in AL.
#459 of 488 think twice about Chrysler by cm3 Mar 26, 2007 (3:54 pm)
I owned a 05 Chrysler 300 Touring since 2 years ago. But it's now 27k miles into its life and I've been driving it carefully ever since I got it. Everything seem s fine except they had to fix the alignment a few times ( a common issue among all 300's)when it was less than 1000 miles and they also replaced the rear left power window module and flushed the software. Dealers got those issues taken care. But I was told the camber bolt has to be replaced in order to adjust the alignment again. And it is not covered under warranty. I was a mechanic in the service too so I understand how things work. In this case, it's either the mechanic at their dealership was trying rip me off by charging $460 to replace it, or Chrysler had a defect bolt on this one. How can it be damaged when this bolt sits at the center of the wheel? So I contacted one of the warranty Rep to discuss it, but this lady seemed know nothing about mechanical problems and she called up the service Dept. A few minutes later she returned to me saying that Chrysler 300's has different alignment design and it's costly to fix the alignment issue. Then she kept on saying the $460 job of replacing this Camber Bolt is considered "Normal Wear and Tear". What a joke!!!    I like this car and I expected to see big panel gaps and some issues as people stated on forums. But now I believe why people also said "Chrysler doesn't stand behind their products".    To those people who consider Chrysler products as their daily drivers, be prepared to deal with quality issues during life expectancy of their products. If you want reliability and service, go somewhere else.    And to Mercedes Benz, they made a big mistake to associate with Chrysler. This kind of experience truly damage the image of a world class car manufacturer. Mercedes should sell Chrysler, NOW!!! They don't deserve it.
