Second 300, this one is a Hemi. The salesman told me it was driven by an old lady, of course it was! Truth is I met her and it was all true. Her husband died and she had to get rid of it. It has 11,965 miles !! Every option and it is very fast and very comfortable. I just back from a trip to Vegas, averaging 75 MPH. At 110 degrees out with the A/C on I still averaged 22 MPG. I only use Regular gas and it runs fine. This is a keeper for a long time. Buy one, they are out there for good prices. You won't regret it!

I fell in love with these cars about 8 years ago when I had one as a rental. When it was time to buy another "new" used car I shopped specifically for this. I had quite a time because I wanted the C model in black with lower miles. I ended up driving 630 miles to & 630 miles back to get it & I love it so far. The C is loaded & has a Hemi...I recommend the Hemi for the power. It only gets 2 mpg less than the 6 cyl 3.5 & I average over 25 mpg on freeway. The interior is very comfortable, it brakes very well & handles well. The sound system is awesome but because the car is 11 years old the navigation system is outdated & has no touch screen or back up camera. For the price of the disc required to update I can buy an after market unit that has all of these features & it will fit right into the dash w/o modifications. There are outstanding airbag recalls that I will have to take care of & the worst thing is that when you fill up the car all the way it stalls. This is a known problem with this & several Chrysler cars & fortunately about 2 years ago they finally agreed to extend a lifetime warranty to the gas tank which will need to be replaced. I have arranged to take it in to dealership & this work will be free of charge. Overall for as nice as this car is, with only 75,000 miles & for the price I paid...$8750 I believe its a bargain. They are out there to be found but some dealers think they are worth $10-12k...Don't pay that. Find one & stick to your guns. Many of the dealers who initially laughed at my offer are now calling me ready to sell after sitting on there cars for a couple months...but of course they are too late.

May, 2024 UPDATE: She is still driving well and I so appreciate having the powerful Hemi which has gotten me out of a few dicey situations. I also enjoy the respect my 300C gets on the road. A lot less people tailgating me as opposed to when I had a 2000 RAV 4. I drove her this past winter with winter tires. Let’s just say she is capable to but being a RWD does not enjoy the ice and snow. UPDATE: I am starting to have some front end issues which I will have to address and my parking brake does not work but as for the motor and transmission? So far...smooth sailing. I have also noticed that there is respect from other drivers when I am on the road. People no longer tailgate and give me space which was not the case when I was driving my older Toyota RAV4. have always wanted a Mopar but could never afford a classic Cuda or Challenger. So I thought how about a modern Hemi with Daimler Chrysler engineering? I have not been disappointed. The 340 hp V8 power is something I have longed for most of my adult life. I have only ever owned 4 or 6 cylinder vehicles. Not only is the power appreciated but so is the nicely appointed leather interior, wood grain finishes and chrome rims. It is quite the luxurious ride. Cons: These big beasts are notorious for poor gas mileage (400 kms to a tank) along with front end issues and I can tell my ball joints are loose and will need replacing soon. Also, if you are tall like me (6’3) with a long upper torso you will have to crouch or duck a little to see the stop lights at an intersection. The seat positioning is too high. Overall, however, I am enjoying “Hemi” as I motor through my midlife crisis.

I have 121,000 miles on my 300C and still love the car. In general, it has been reasonably reliable and is certainly fun to drive. I would buy one again.
Lord blessed me with a great find
