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.

This is the best Chrysler that I have owned. The car is solid and feels great at high speeds. Fuel consumption is very good for a car of its size. As a live an learn lesson, the newest Chrysler Corporation may want to look back at its front wheel drive platforms and manufacture cars that are both fun to drive and easier on gas.
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.

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).
Enjoying since 2007

When I was looking for a car in 2007, a chrysler 300M was not even on my shopping list. I was looking at a couple of Pontiac Grand Prix's when my eyes caught this beauty. This car stood out in a room filled with more than 50 cars at a local dealer in Toronto. After road testing it with a couple of friends in the back seat, who by the way found the back seat to be ultra comfortable with support for the back of your knee, I instantly fell in love with this car. The performance from the engine was surprising awesome for a 3.5 lt V6 in a full sized sedan and so was the handling. Every time I take this thing out for a spin, I am very confident while taking turns that it wont under or oversteer.

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.
Not too shabby

I purchased this car used with high miles so my expectations weren't the greatest. The first few problems i ran into would have been minor had I owned any other domestic car. I don't understand why parts are so much and mechanics cringed at the thought of working on it. The tranny went out and drained my bank account but I have the previous owner to thank for that. I seem to continue to have issues with the power mirrors going haywire but otherwise no electrical problems. All told, I like the looks and feel of the car and if the new tranny takes it over 200,000 miles I'll be satisfied with my investment. Provided nothing else major goes wrong.

Purchased the car used,w/57000 miles on the clock. Why did they stop making this model. Its a great road car. Hard to keep the speed down. Handles great on curves and runs like a race car. Love the dashboard display. The tach is a welcome site. Never had the rpms over 3000. Covers a lot of ground with comfort. Only car I have ever owned that is still fun to drive after 2yrs. If you haven't tried Continental tires,they are silent. Chrysler did a good job with this vehicle. It's a shame they stopped production. Would like to see a 5spd manual transmission. Check engine light came on and shop replaced a oxygen sensor. It still comes on, but goes off after a day or so. No major problems as yet.
