The 2006 H.E. Numbers are known! by goofytiml

This is second hand, but an H.E. owner over at 300Cforums.com just queried DCX Customer Assist about the production number of Heritage Editions... and got and ANSWER! The number... 4615 in the U.S. I've heard there were H.E.'s in Canada also, but at least we have a bonafide number for the U.S.
 
So if you have one of these outstanding cars enjoying, and it keep! Also please post to my Heritage Edition Build Sequence thread over at 3CF.
 
Sorry cm3, but I think your troubles were more from having a VERY early build 300 - probably pre-June 2004 build date?)... I had no trouble with my June-2004 built 2005 pre-owned 300C, and no problem with my new 2006 H.E. (15k miles in 12 mo) and now no problems (in the first two months of ownership) of my 2007 Magnum SRT8. I traded the '04 build 300C for it because I got the trade price I wanted ($22k) and a purchase price $10k under the MSRT8 sticker!

Transmission Problems by renzo07

I am so disappointed with my 06' 300C I bought it brand new from the dealer and now I'm having Transmission problems it only has 3000 miles on it! I had noticed a leak from under the car in my garage and its like a pinkish color and really oily so I checked and nothing so I took it to the dealer and they said the gaskets had to be replaces. And within the same day its ready to go I don't know if I can trust them because they are lazy and it just makes me mad to pay $43000 and for it to be giving problems and it hasn't even reached 5000 miles! Well if anyone else has had this same problem please let me know what I should do, because at this point I want to trade it in..............

I've had the same issue my 2006 300C Heritage at approximately the same mileage. My local dealer said that the fittings needed to be tightend. I had the same experience on a 1999 300M. I haven't had any problem since. Both cars were manufactured at the same place in Canada. Maybe they just need to fire the wrench-robot...

"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."
 
That is a nice car and you did very well. However, not to be nit picky (okay this is nit picky ): There is no car that is a "300C Touring". There is a 300 Touring and a 300C (the latter has a 5.7 liter Hemi, the former a V6). There is a 300CSRT with a 6.2 liter Hemi.

Read your owner's manual! Octane requirements are clearly listed and there is even some warnings about using other than recommended octane fuels (misfueling. One service writer at the dealership told me that they have to reset the "check engine" lights on some cars that come in becaue they are tuned for only regular unleaded, and the owners think they are going to get more power with premium fuel. Instead, the engine has trouble burning the fuel at the air/fuel mixture settings for lower octane fuel. It needs more air to burn higher octane fuel. You can actually end up getting worse mileage!

Your right about if your car uses regular,it not a good idea to put in premium.I do recommend going up one grade.If your car calls for mid-grade,I wouldn't go down one grade to save less then 2 bucks.Don't go below what it calls for,you will have less performance,more carbon buildup
lower MPGs.I run premium in my 06 Charger SXT,3.5,and just got 20.4 in city with no A/C.My wife's Mazda Tribute 3.0V6
just got just over 20 mpg with A/C.Its rated 19 city.I worked on cars that were suppose to have premium,but regular was used.There was tons of carbon buildup.

Help, how much should I spend? by m4d_cow

Guys can you tell me how much over invoice should I spend on a 300C? I heard the Chrysler sold to Cerberus news really shake buyers confidence...
How about its maintenance costs?
 
Btw I've been told buying a brand new one isnt worth it since it loses almost $10k the 1st year, is it true?
 
If it is, then how much should I look forward to spend on an 06 or 07 300C?
 
I spotted a silver on beige 06 300c, 19k miles, almost fully loaded w/ protection group, sound group, wood trim, sunroof and xenon.
 
This is my 1st time for a Chrysler, so any infos are very appreciated.

If you're buying a car worried about depreciation, then don't bother buying a car. They are drop as soon as you taken them off the lot. Buy the car because it appeals to you... is fun and comfortable to drive... NOT as any kind of investment.
 
As far as I'm concerned for a 300C (or even and SRT8) you shouldn't pay anything over invoice. It should be invoice or under, somtimes well under, depending on incentives. But, depending on the size of the dealer and your local market you "may" get the story of $500 over invoice. That's the typical story given by my local dealers in our small market town.
 
If you can get that '06 300C with 19k miles for around $24k I'd consider that a very good deal. Dealer auction price is more like $22-23k. More likely the lot is asking something like $27k or more and they will never get that.
