Waiting/hoping to expect something good from America
Hello all, I purchased a 1998 Dodge Ram Van, new, and vowed that it would be the last Chrysler product that I would ever own. The Van didn't last 10 years until it was in the junk yard. Recently I purchased a 2001 Chrysler 300M. The car looks really sharp and is fun to drive. I purchased it from a dealer who gave me a great price. I know of the previous single owner and they took great care of the car as all the records show. Second day with the car it began to shake at 50-70 mph. There were LOTS of new parts. Turns out the torque converter and timing belt need replacing. Another $3k. So much for a good deal. I want to buy American...quit making JUNK and I will.
Chrysler 300m
really nice car with alot of options at a cheap price of about 35 grand new. yet it is still sporty and quick on the road.

I bought my first 300M in 1999 and liked it so much that I bought a new one in August, 2001 and kept the older one for my college age son to drive to college. I am a fairly big guy and find it to be one of the most comfortable cars that I have ever ridden or driven. I entertain a lot and the back seat can accomodate another couple very comfortably, with plenty of leg room for even tall folks. The 2001 300M also has a sunroof that is wonderful and still provides me with plenty of headroom. Great car - keep building them, I am sure I will buy another in a few years.
Why did they quit making these?
Chrysler worked for years to perfect this car and once they did it they dump it and go to the 300C. Go figure. I keep thinking it's time for a new car; I'm that way; but when I take this car for a drive, I lose the urge to look for something new. I will be getting another car soon but I'll be keeping my 300M.
what a car!
I've put 41,500 miles on this car. And what a beauty. The best car I've ever had, and I've bought plenty of them. It never fails to turn heads. All of my friends and co-workers marvel at the beauty of the car. Excellent acceleration, tight steering, and smooth braking. This car packages many of the performance a sports-car enthusiast loves with the classy looks and comfort of a great luxury car. My only slight annoyances are that it can be a little rough and it picks up a little road noise. No other problems at all with the car-Zero.
The best, funnest, most luxurious car
The best, funnest, most luxurious car for the money. Putting premium gasoline will pay off. Would beat anybody off the light. Ultimate luxury, excellent seating, very stable. HVAC system is the best I've ever experienced. Most comfortable auto-stick. (i've tried lexus's and acura's)
300M: Agreat value
I have had my 2001 300M for two years now and have enjoyed every minute of driving it. The handling, acceleration and overall ride has been better than I could have imagined of a sedan at this price level. Other than a loose electrical connection that I fixed myself, I have had absolutely no problems with this car. The 11 speaker Infinity 4 disc changer is great and the inside styling always gets comments when I drive. If there is a better value for less than $30,000 someone needs to show it to me.

A great car so far!
I bought this one with about 14K on it and have 38K total miles to date - It has been superb! The radio had to be replaced, but that's the only problem we've had. It has the performance handling group and is an excellent high speed and long distance cruiser. Great styling, lots of room, and it can carry a load of cargo.
A Beautiful reliable car
I bought my car new in 2001 had it until 2012 put a hundred eighty thousand miles on it replace the engine twice because I loved it so much... I was in three car accidents and I never got hurt! Trusted it so much I gave it to my child.

Still Love it a Year Later
I've owned the car a year now since I bought it new and haven't had a single problem with it. I still love to get in it each time I drive it...it's beautiful and it handles like a dream and runs smoothly. Love this car!
2001 300M
The 300M has been a welcome surprise for me. It has all of the great features like heated seats and a powerful engine with a resonable price.
Dependable long lasting car
I brought a 2001 chrysler 300m silver with all leather and wood grain steering wheel and trim loved it i got it in 2005 with less than 20,000 miles on it and it's been a great car still own it and it's just reaching 100,000 miles now since I let my daughter drive it all the time ,never the less it's a beautiful car and I love it every min that I drove it ,only has one problem with it about 4 months after buying the transmission went out but I had extended warranty on it so it only cost me 100.00 dollars to get it fix but other then that nothing has gone wrong with it love this car and looking to buy another for myself
what a POS!!! Transmission Timing belt!
i bought this car with only 68,000 for what i thought was a deal, a week after buying it the acceleration was off & would jut after 20mph, the allignment was so bad it balded the left front tire & the gas mileage...good lord i had a aztek before this car and my aztek suv got better gas mileage. so i take it to a mechanic to see why it would shake and jut after accelerating past 20 mph and it turns out a cost of $2000 min would fix the transmission, and a min of $1000 to fix the timing belt. 3 grand in just a week after having it? the mechanic told me to get away from it as soon as possible cuz chryslers are known for transmission issues, so thats what i did. She was a beauty on the outside
Best Car I've owned
After 37,000 miles my problems with this car have been ZERO !!! For a large car the comfort is great with one very minor gripe. Leg room in front right seat is a bit skimpy. I consistently get 27 m.p.g. on the road and about 18 in the city. Road noise could be improved. Why Chrysler can't fix this is beyond me. They should see how Chevrolet does this in their Impala line.
A classic in the driving
After owning this car for 20 years, I feel it was ahead of it's time stylistically and mechanically. The interior heating and cooling systems have been refurbished. I recently repainted the car at MAACO and had name plates (Chrysler and 300M) replaced as well, since the originals were dull and stripping of their chrome. I would still buy this car again hands down.
