I saw some questions about extended warranties. Read the fine print but, http://www.warrantydirect.com/warrantydirect/california.asp offers some great deals for $800 ish for the same extended warranties offered by dealers?

Also, using the "Search Forums" tool to your left, enter "warranty direct" and you will find archived discussions where members talk about their experiences with this company. |

Have had our 2006 Satin Jade "C" for about 6 weeks--2600 miles. We shopped for six months. The only thing that ever held us back was the moderate sized trunk space, compared to our Intrepid. After we drove the 300, trunk space was immaterial! Enjoy

My name is Rob and I live in Springfield, VA. I have 17K miles on my Magnesium 300 Limited, bought in Aug 2004. I'm not happy about the tire wear on the front (Continental ContiSeals) and had to replace them last week. Also think the Cruise Control knob is a bit flimsy. I bought from a dealer near Baltimore, MD since the local VA dealers didn't have much inventory at the time and one that did didn't return phone calls. I contacted the dealer via internet and had an immediate response. They gave me $ 2K off-but low-balled my trade-in. I bought it anyway but won't deal with them again. OK--end of complaints. This is a great road car--trips to Ohio, Maine, and North Carolina. The car came pretty well loaded--Sirius is great, as is the Navigation system. I haven't had the pulling problem, but wonder why the front tires wore out so quickly. I'm using a local Chrysler dealer for maintenance and any repairs--the dealer where I bought my wife's Sebring Convertible- and they're happy to work with me. This is my fifth Chrysler product mixed in with a Volvo, a Lincoln, a Nissan and a Chevy van and I couldn't be more pleased.

Replying to: varob (Sep 06, 2005 6:46 am) Tire inflation pressure needs to be checked on a regular basis (weekly). Always go with recommended pressure. We traveled 10 days in South Dakota, Wyoming and Montana during the month of July. Our 2006 300C has the tire pressure monitoring system and with the tires at the recommended 30 PSI, I saw the pressure in each tire increase by as much as 4 PSI during the day as we traveled around. Now we have had a couple of cool nights(finally) and in the morning the monitor system shows 29 PSI but within a couple of blocks down the street they come up to 30 PSI. You don't have near the problem with underinflation during the winter months in Virginia like we do in Wisconsin. Rotating the tires every 6000 miles is a must. I work at a DC dealership and you would be surprised at the number of folks who think that the service writers are simply trying to make money off them by strongly suggesting that they rotate every 6000 miles. It seems that original equipment tires have always been a sore point to some extent. Glad to hear that you love the car. |

Hello everyone. We had planned on ordering a 2006 300 or 300C in the spring, but I kept watching the model-year-end sales within reach of our home, here in WV. Well, our local dealer had a 2005 midnight blue pearl coat 300C, one year old, local first owner, in mint condition, available for the right price. We had rented a loaded 300 Touring for a long trip this summer to determine if it was a great a traveling car as we suspected. It was! We've had the 300C for two weeks now, and are very impressed with the Hemi, etc. The only options on this vehicle was walnut interior trim and memory pedal position. So I am interested in recommendations regarding dealership addition of parking assistance (first biggie), and whether anyone uses the "protection" bra. I don't particularly like those, but have been advised that they go on, and come off easily and are good for use on long trips, etc. What do you all say?" Here's a pic (I hope). At least it "previewed" before I posted.

I live in arizona. my silver '05 300c awd has 5000 miles on it. I did not want awd since its not needed here but it was the only car with the color and options I wanted. I figure it will help on resale, or if I do travel up to the mountains. I have noticed no diffference in driving awd vs rwd. the car has been great so far. minor problems include the front seat will not go back automatically the 2 inches or so, stopped working a few weeks ago. recently I ran over a nail, the self sealing did not work and the tire had to be repaired. I hear a pop in the morning under the dash, I know its been reported on other posts. sounds like a large marble hitting something. I am a little disappointed in the gas mileage. the a/c has been running 100% of time and the computer shows 14-15 mpg city. I am hoping without the a/c I will get the 17. today I am attending the chrysler inspired drives event and am scheduled to drive the srt 8 and crossfire srt 6 on a race course. will report back. |
