The 5spd Autos in the CL-S and TL-S have a extremly HIGH failure rate. Stay away from those. I owned a CL-S and it went through two trannys in 20k of miles.

 

Dayum seems like it holds abuse pretty well so I shouldn't be worried as a DD as long as I run a compression before hand.

 

Thanks for the heads up. I test drove one last night but something just wasn't "right" about it so I passed. I'm currently sticking with the IS platform since it has everything I want/need right now with the price range I'm looking to pay.

 

E46 Bmw's are dropping in price into your range.

www.e46fanatics.com I think.

 

My only issue is maintenance. I've been lurking on e46fanatics but kinda got scared away by all the horror stories on edmonds and other places. I do love them and would love to pick one up but it's just not reliable enough for me.

 

I'm having a hard time finding a clean Is for the price range and want to keep my options open. Anyone have positive/negative feedback on the Chrysler 300's? Big, Roomy, decent mileage, in my price range, and love the looks.

 

aisde from the fact that it's a Chrysler? None I actually love the look.

 

I know Does it still count if I debadge it?

 

I heard a lot of bad things about them (chrysler 300) will talk to my boss more about it tomorrow since he used to run a chrysler/jeep/dodge store.

 

Thanks I'd appreciate that.

 

The first thing you MUST do to that car is throw some Bentley badges on it. I've actually seen a 300, not even a 300C mind you so it was a 6 banger with full bentley badges.
