Bought used and completely original

It is a welcome change to buy a used car that doesn't start doing odd things or need more immediate attention mechanically. I bought my 2002 300m Special with 237,000km's on it , while the brakes , battery and exhaust were all original. I only needed to replace the brake pads. This speaks volumes to me in terms of value and reliability , not really seen on other used cars. While the transmission shifts ultra smooth and works as new , just like the previous owner claimed (as he said that the tranny never had any problems , just a fluid and filter change). The battery is a shock , being an Interstate Mega TronII , just like other ones at scrap yard that also had original batteries in.

I would recommend this car , and I would also buy another one. Off the top , the car has been a welcome change - where "I" don't have to adjust to the car - "it" adjusts to me. I like that the most. Engine performance is very good , and fair on fuel , with it's 3.5L / 255hp (dual exhaust) application. In my opinion , there is nothing more "boring" than a car (it's engine performance) , where you are repeatedly confined by it's lack of power. I don't like driving vehicles that practically drive themselves. "Boring". If I want that , I'll ride in the passenger seat. The overall design is very good , while it's overall functions , are not limited to "driving". These are valueable.
Back to buying American

Pound for Pound, this car stacks up very well with the foreign cars that compete in its class - Infiniti I35, BMW 325, Lexus ES300, etc. Engine is powerful enough to get the car moving, autostick is a plus when you need all of the 255 horses at once, handling is great with the 18 inch wheels, and the interior is engineered with comfort in mind. I was nervous about buying an American car again, but I am very happy that I did. After crunching all the numbers and driving the competing cars, I believe this is one of the best values for around $30K You get a lot of car for the dollar.
When it starts to break run away!

I got the car with 45,000 km paid probably more than it should have, I traded my sebring for the 300M. First year no major problems, than it started. The front suspension started braking. I had to replace many times over the front end such as: Stabilizer bars, link-bars (upper-lower) bars, brakes etc. Parts were expensive like Mercedes or some foreign car (no wonder they are going-under). Too many electrical issues lights flashing, engine light. The sad part is, I actually liked the car and did regular maintenance. Stay away when it starts showing problems Sell fast! I had too many problems (spent over $10000.00 in repairs since 2005).

I had a 2000 300M, and loved it - but it got totalled. I just purchased a new 2002 Special, and love it even more. It's zippy despite the fact that I can fit 4 large adults in it and go out to dinner.
