Replying to: KarenS (Apr 23, 2004 12:26 pm) 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. Replies to this message: pezlar (May 12, 2004 7:15 pm)

Replying to: cash1 (May 10, 2004 3:29 pm) 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.

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. Thanks! Jeannine Fallon PR Director Edmunds.com
#53 of 488 Trade in for Chrysler 300 by dap May 18, 2004 (4:03 am)
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.

Nice post, from the dealer's perspective; but I have one comment about your comparison of the pricing/value, etc. versus the 300M. I bought my 99 300M on July 27, 1998. At that time it was the hot new car, and went on to be M/T Car of the Year. I'm 62 and it was my first Chrysler. My car came with every feature, except PHP, smokers group, and a moonroof, none of which I wanted anyway. It stickered for $30,075 and with a little dickering [and I had a trade-in that they jobbed me a little on] I got it for $26,959. Now, outfitting a current 300C on the DC web site with a lot of the available bells and whistles, but less the roof, and Sirius, which I wouldn't want, put me at roughly $38K for the vehicle. When I look at this new car, albeit 6 years almost having passed, and compare it with the aging M, I think that the few additional whiz bang things [like adjustable peddles, 19" wheels?] and the Hemi don't make it a "great value" compared to the M. In fact, despite the M being around for 6 years, if DC kept the M exterior design, made it rear wheel drive and dropped that Hemi into it, I'd probably have one on order now, unless they jacked the price up to the stratosphere like they are doing for the supercharged Crossfire SRT-6. Is it worth 11K more than my M? That's the same question I asked myself when I looked at the under-powered Crossfire. The answer is I am still driving the M and wishing they built the Chronos, 300 Hemi C, or the sketch vehicle on page 21 of the R & T supplement on the new 300. But having said that, many like the design, but I would only get it with the Hemi, as the 3.5 just has to work too hard for such a heavy vehicle. This car is likely to rise and fall on the quality of the parts in the build and the dealer support. Neither were great in many respects for a lot of M owners, myself not included.

Replying to: bigmike5 (May 18, 2004 12:54 pm) Sorry I didn't go into great depth on the "value" story of the 300C. If you take a 300C with the base brice of $32,995 and compare it to the 300M this year that is priced (MSRP wise) at about the same price the value is readily apparent.   We also sell Lincolns and a BASE V6 Lincoln LS with nowhere near the equipment (or in my opinion the great looks and style) of the 300C is a little over $33,000 MSRP. Thank god theres huge rebates on the LS...... Replies to this message: ngrotjahn (May 20, 2004 3:37 pm) jeep (May 20, 2004 4:31 pm)

scottmlcj-- sounds fair enough. All I'm trying to do is find a 300c that is at MSRP like you say. All I can find is horrendous dealer greed markups varying from $3000 to as much as $11000 over MSRP. I try and negotiate to MSRP only to be laughed off the dealer lot. Kind of funny how every dealership I have visited just sold one "last night". I'm happy these cars are "flying off the lots" like every salesperson is telling me. However, I won't be plopping down thousands on top of MSRP for this or any other vehicle. That, my friend, is a pure ripoff no matter how you look at it. Replies to this message: scottlmcj (May 18, 2004 3:43 pm)
