Used 1999 Chrysler 300M Consumer Reviews
Chrysler's Baaaack!!!
I evaluated 6 other autos before catching wind of Motor Trend's '99 Car of the Year- I'll own the 300M series until they stop making them once again!
Great Car
Bought it new when it first appeared, and I never buy a new model, but fell in love with the looks and performance. Like the drive and the features, especially the heated seats in these North Dakota winters. Did have to replace a couple of sensors under warrenty, but no other problems and the gas mileage is great.

Great car but quirky
My 99' 300M has been pretty good so far. I've had my door window motor replaced and there's a distinct creaking in the front end, which goes away after the dealer lubes it but it returns within weeks. I've had a lot of problems with front end shaking while braking from highway speeds and have had the brakes and rotors done with no change in the problem. I strongely suggest a nose bra for you highway drivers like me. I love the power and the upgraded stereo was worth the extra money. The gas mileage has been better than expected for a large car and I've been averaging around 23mpg. I only run 93 octane as the engine knocks at 89 and 87.
Fun to drive and noisy
This car combines several qualities. No rust or sign of it after 6 years exposed to road salt in the Montreal winters. Still solid and no rattles. The reliability after the first 6 months of ajustments, is at par with other well renowned cars.
I got one of the few good ones
I got lucky. I have had only one tow bill for this car and it was for a tank of bad gas. The car is really picky about the quality of gas you put in it. I drive about 120 miles a day and get around 27 MPG. Yes the windows stick in the summer. (use baby powder between the rubber seal and the glass and it stops this) Plenty of room for the wife and kids. Bought it with 63,000 miles on it for $7,600 and now have 183,000 miles showing. Only have to change out the filters and the oil and it just keeps on going. Like I said I must have gotten one of the few good ones.
