| New member, took delivery of a 300C LAST WEEK, added chrome pillars, splash guards and bently grille, looks awesome and drives unreal. Traded in my audi a4 for this, I can finally stretch my legs.... | |
| My wife bought a 300 ( I'm 61 and wanted her to get the "C") you guys who have the "C" wow what a car, this base 300 is a very fine car, I can only dream of a "C". If any of you "C" owners ever had a 60's "vette" how does it compare? | |

Hello All, New member to your forum here but wanted to drop a few lines about our 300 limited we just purchased from the dealership.....................My first big pricey car, had alot of the family boxes before we shipped the kids to husbands and are on our own now.............LOVIN IT! I have to say i couldnt get enough of this car when i heard they were coming out with it .....chewed the proverbial bit till it finally showed up.....................waited while everyone else bought them up...............told i had to wait in line to get one.............wanted to wait longer to find out the problems everyone had first before buying one.................well you know the game.........cautious and willing....thats me! said the hell with it went and bought it anyway..........COULDNT STAND WAITING! LOVE IT! My wife has taken possesion of the car.....wont let me even breathe in its direction..........ha ha. like the comercial on tv.....have to wake up before her to steal it!.Really I do love this car....it just says elegant as it drives down the road, real headturner! Its cool vanilla white with everything imaginable no nav or hands free.....thats fine hate cellphones anyway! my father has always been a chrysler guy as i was myself on first car ever owned.....mopar 68 roadrunner..........OH YEA those were the days! dad has owned everything from a 300 to a newport.........yup always loved the boats! As far as problems go with the cars ie: pulling to the right and such and other problems with the electronics and such...........always been a problem with chryslers. every time i drove dads boats it always pulled to the right a little thought it was the size of the car actually making it do it........ha ha (electronics)......chrysler always had the top of the line as far as inventions and the first of its kind on the market.......new toys new problems...............folks. I have to say take it back have it sorted out and grin and bear it ........all cars have thier quirks. Especially chryslers..........its a car you have to massage and learn to enjoy.........in the end you will come to love the car you will never get rid of..............it becomes a part of your life....really it does........matter of fact thinking about getting another for myself and tell the wife she needs to move hers from the driveway and make room for daddys!................LOVE IT! Enjoyed sharing my words of wit with you.......glad to meet you all very much and thanks for reliving my memories chrysler............you only go around once in life might as well enjoy it right? v/r George |

Replying to: KarenS (May 13, 2004 5:34 am) I started calling around around and found that they were somewhat hard to come by. In fact I couldn't get one at all. The best I could do was to find a dealer who said If I wanted to come in and buy one, before they even came in he could get it to me when it did come in, and at what ever they decided to charge. I pretty much resigned myself to the fact that I wasn't getting one. So I was gonna do the next best thing and get the hemi C. I wanted one in black so I started calling around. I found a dealer who said he had three. I noticed in the ad that they said they had SRT's. I thought they put that in to get people to call but I asked anyway. He checked and came back. He said they had two but sold one. He said that he didn't expect it to last but a few hours. I told him I was on my way. ( I just wanted to test drive to compare to the 5.7 hemi). I got there and saw it and wanted it. Took the test drive and loved it. I told my wife I wanted her to drive it. She said she didn't want to, but I got her to. The guy told her to take it on the freeway. All she said was, "Oh my God"! I think we were doing about 100 by then. We got back to the dealership and went into the office. Another couple walked up and asked if we were looking at the car. Yep. Both the manager, my wife and me knew that the manager had me by the shorthairs. I probably paid way too much but I'm not thinking about that, I'd rather drive. The other couple just left. |

| We placed the order on 2/18/05. It arrived at the dealership on 5/19/05. The build date was 5/2/05. Have only put 600 miles on it. It is one spectacular automobile. Drives and rides like a dream. Sorry to read about some of the issues that folks are having ! I guess maybe it was worth the wait to order an '06. | |
| I JUST BOUGHT A 2006 300 LIMITED, GREAT CAR. I LOOKED AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT CARS SINCE THE 1ST. OF THE YEAR. TRADED IN A NEWER SUBURBAN( FAMILY OF 5 DOWN TO 4- 18 YR. DAUGHTER MOVED OUT.) THIS 300 WAS THE BEST LOOKING OF ANY BIG 4DR SEDANS AVAILABLE. PRICED SO MUCH BETTER THAN LEXUS, INFINITI, MERCEDES ETC. I DIDN'T BUY THE HEMI- I'VE HAD FAST CARS BEFORE- NOW LOOKING FOR BETTER MPG. GREAT PRICE $226 OVER INVOICE!!!!! LOVE TO DRIVE IT- PUT ON A FRONT END BRA- YOU REALLY NEED TO PROTECT THAT FRONT END! MAKES THE CAR LOOK EVEN BETTER. | |
