After 19 months of problems I traded my Performance for a 300c. I got 25,500 for my trade.

 

Good luck. Give us an update from warranty hell (Chrysler) from time to time.

 

What was the sticker on the 300C Hemi? Are the dealers marking them up any or coming down any?

 

I got to admit I like Chyslers designs, but it's still a Chrysler and they don't have the best record for reliablity and longevity. But anyways bad azz looking car and good luck.

 

They will not come down on price... They can't keep the Hemi's on the lots. Soon as they get one it sells. You cannot even order the 300c. They have had too many orders. Price was $36,740 with a $1000.00 rebate when you finance with Chrysler. (will re-finance with credit union after first payment.

Also OP Z, what are you talking about????? The reason I traded my Z was as you call it "warrenty hell". I am much more pleased with my 300C.

 

Keep us posted. I am seriously interested in this car, but it has to have the Hemi.

How is the gas mileage? Does it really go down in cylinders when cruising at hwy speeds?

Please pics of the inside and outside, thanks.

I really like that cream color.

Does the Hemi have every option or does it come in diff. packages?

 

I agree Chrsler designs some of the best looking cars in the US. My one and only Chrysler was an LHS when it was their new hot product. It stalled in traffic the first week I owned it. Idler arm assembly needed to be replaced. Transmission was rebuilt at 30k by Chrysler. Replacement at 30k was not even considered. Elctronic dashboard was flashing after a car wash by 40k. Sold shortly thereafter for ~40% of what I paid for the car. Thjats always the final kick in the a$$ with Chrysler products... trade in value.
My inlaws had a Chrysler minivan the same time we had ours and they had to have their tranny replaced too. Never again...no matter how sweet the engine.

 

When I got the Magnum, they said I had to make 3 payments before refinancing with my bank. You might want to check on that.

2200 miles and no problems at all!
www.dodgemagnum.net seems to be the best forum out there for 300C/Magnums.

 

Good luck with it. Its a nice car. What color did you get?

 

I think I read somewhere that the HEMI has a better quarter mile and 0-60 than the Z . I think it's a good looking car with the low profile windows and Bentley grill. If I wanted a sedan I would probably pick one of those up and put some 20 inch spinners on it. =) Chrysler is really revamping themselves after Mercedes came around. I like there Crossfire as well. Good luck!

 

2003Z, if you re-finance before 3 payments the dealership will lose money from chrysler. It is called "backend money" nothing but profit. I am in car sales.....

My 300c is black pearl....best color imo.

 

HAHAHA, that had me rollin! Why the hell would he care? Dealers are evil and most of the time they don't care about the customer but rather how they can rape you for every penny you have.

 

Pics, please post pics exterior/interior, I wanna see that Hemi

 

It only took me buying one vehicle (against the advice of many) and the experiences of those many to decide to never buy another Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep again for the rest of my life!

Good luck to you and your ghetto-fabolous 300, you'll need it!

 

Jus curious, why is it Ghetto Fabulous? Because it appeals to a certain Ethnic group?



I think it looks hot. Yeah, your right about the Chrysler name, but that car looks really nice.

I can tell you this much, I bet the 300 does not have near the problems as our Z's.

 

i went to the chicago dub magazine show yesterday and seemed like all the rapper's cars were all 300c and magnum. must of been at least 25+. put some 24" spinners and your set!

 

Good lookin' car & "Hemi" rings the power bell. Hope all goes well with it. I'm anti-American made cars due to reliability issues.
But I'd sure like the American makers to catch up. I grew up, litterly, in the shadow of the Ford smoke stacks & would like a reason to get back to buying American.

 

Enjoy cruising down the road in your American-made crate. Ok, it's got lots of HP. But the rest of it is an ugly piece of crap that handles like a Sherman Tank. What on earth were you thinking???

 

Its on E430 suspesion so its not that bad

 

I don`t want to rain on his parade, but I totally agree with you.
I had a 1997 Limited Grand Cherokee before my Z, and it was a piece of junk. Not only were things constantly going wrong with it, the two dealerships in my area were completely clueless when it came to diagnosing or fixing the many problems.

Z FOREVER, CHRYSLER/DODGE/JEEP NEVER!
