2002 Special
Excellent value
Way Too Fun To Drive
Looked at all the sporty 4 door full size cars. The 300M Special is the best & most fun to drive. Great handling & perfect braking.

For the Money
For the money... This is a good car to buy used you can buy this exact car for 12900, w/60k miles 10/18/06. You get near luxury options wrapped up with a decent body/engine. I would be upset if I had paid 30k. 12k was better. Reliabilty has been ok, had tranny problems. way below avg sound system (nothing premium about it) horrible road noise. some problems with interior parts. decent performance/handling, great exhaust note!
nice car for the money
I got it 1 year ago. First of all, when I hear about road noise I will say check you tires, I got new set form tire rack, avon tires, those are grat both in noise, handling and price, half of what you have to pay for Michelins. Overall I will say that the car is fun to drive, I like it. Exchanging brake pads from standard metal to ceramic (cost the same) would get rid off the brake dust, great.
loved 1 bought 2
I've loved the car since day 1 first I bought a 2004 300m special in 05. Loved so much went looking for another now I own a Grey 2002 special I've had no Major problems w the 2004 had the tranny replaced on the 2002 under warranty from dealer when u buy used always a? about previous owner I love the cars and they look good
Love It!
I bought it new and still have it. I have never kept a car this long, but can't find one I like better. Very comfortable, loaded with luxury features. Aside from standard maintenance and new tires, the only repair was to replace a tire pressure sensor. I wish the 300C didn't look so much like a gangster car. I would have traded for another 300 several years ago.
300M Special
I got tired of shopping (Cad, BMW, Volvo,etc)and bought a silver one. My first Mopar. Kind of disappointed because it doesn't stack up well to my previous SLS Seville (except in price). Getting used to it but wouldn't recommend it for a traveler. 300M Special tires are only good for 20-30K, so it's going to be $1000/yr for tires. The milage on the Seville was better and it was a V8 w/275 HP
**BUMP** goes the OBD
I just purchased this car and took it out on a rather bumpy road. Hit a bump and the orangy OBD (On Board Diagnostics) light came on [not to be confused with 'check engine'] Thankfully it was just a sensor, and it was reset, but the car is built like an airplane, with a zillion sensors that monitor everything except what you are listening to. It adjusts temperature and seats, and this and that and wow is all I can say.
Special Kind of Car
This is my first new car since 1978 and my first Chrysler Product. I am extremely satisfied with the Chrysler product and craftsmanshipp. I have received many compliments from friends and relatives. I have not had any problems considering this harsh winter. I have not taken the car back to dealer for any repairs, noises or any little annoyances. Overall I rate the car a 9.
Not to Shabby
Besides the poor service from the dealer.The dealer prep was a joke also.Their Dealer rating paperwork took a hike with their service.(I never received it)But the car saved my loyalty.I gave the reliabilty a 9 because if it snows your not going anywere with those tires and rims.I have a slight hill in front of my house and i couldnt move.The 8 on fuel is more than likley my big foot.Super Car.I cant wait to drive the Crossfire.
