Who are you buying it from? Maybe I already have your dealer enrolled in our member discount program; can save you 10% on all your parts and service. Anyway, check us out at http://www.300mclub.org. We're having a Club rendezvous in Monterey CA August 17th thru 19th, love to have you come. We can caravan down.
Zaino is the stuff to get. Seems expensive but a little bit goes a LONG way. http://www.zainobros.com. Start with the Z1, Z2, Z5, and Z6. The leather care and tire dressing are excellent too. It's ALL good.

Tires & Rims
We are quite the way from Whitehorse, the closest i came to there was when my wife and I did the cruise from Vancouver to Alaska and saw the buses with Whitehorse on them at Skagway.
It would be nice if something could be arranged for Washington or British Columbia sometime. I think that is the reason I have not signed up for the 300 Club, as there is no one around here.
regarding tire pressure? Doesn't the manual state 30psi?
I just checked mine at 32psi and figured I would leave it
there. So why so high? Advice!
Zaino is THAT good! You will NOT be disappointed. One word of advice- tell your dealer NOT to touch the car- NO WASH, NO WAX, NO NOTHING! That's where ALL the initial scratches come from. I know you want to pick up the car all shiny and clean, but it's NOT worth it in the long run. I didn't do that when I got my 300M in 99 because I never heard of Zaino until about a month later. I DID do this with the new Acura this past March. NO scratches/swirls. I didn't even let them take the white plastic off! I did that myself because I had to drive the car from RI to CT and thought that maybe the white plastic might melt on the hood if driven a long distance. Although, it was so cold, I don't think it would have melted.
Click on my name above and you'll find the links to see what a Zaino shine looks like on the 300M and the Acura CL-S.

Thanks

You lucky Michelin tire guys probably have a different take on the situation. Pay attention to your tire edge wear, ride, handling, and mpg and see what's the best psi range for you.
After 69,000 happy miles in a '99 300M, I got an '01 in January.
So far, 13,500 miles, I'm still smiling.
Go for it!
Now is a good time to buy with good rebates and low rate financing options in place. Check out the Chrysler 300M Enthusiasts Club web site at http://www.300mclub.org, click on "Other 300M Sites" and check out some of the reviews under "300M Reviews and Awards" The 300M has very impressive credentials.
I love the M and would buy again---I had several small problems--nothing major and most have been corrected by dealer--a couple other probs are in process of being corrected--the only thing I find somewhat unsatisfactory is the road noise--much louder than my Lincoln Mark VIII-- I have the Y2K with 20K on the dial--I will get the Michelins when by Badyears wear out. The M is the best value especially with all the incentives out there now.
It's worth the wait.
bought one of the first produced 300M's in 1998 (made May 1998) then traded it in for a 2001 in March 2001.
Not because of reliability problems, but I just wanted the accourtements I couldn't get or which came out between the years...

PS already wore all 3 shirts and got lots of compliments on them. Hope we can get some caps before the summer is over. Low profile black would be nice with badge emblem.

someone asking about opinions on the M? Best car I've owned yet, the only car that even came close was the 2001 chrysler concord lxi.. if ya know whats good for ya, you'd buy it. where else can u get the luxury/performance/scarcity(at least here)/safety/appearence (list goes on..) for this price?

"The new Zaino product will be an accelerative additive that can be mixed
with Z-2, Z-3 or Z-5....
Below are just a few of the improvements....
1. When mixed as per directions, you will not need to apply Z-1...
2. It will reduce the drying time, thus making the polish more user
friendly
in damp environments...
3. It will increase the gloss factor and extend the durability level..
4. It will have an instant cure time, so you can immediately apply
multiple
coats.. No more waiting between coats...
5. And more........
So stay tuned and please be patient for the release date...

Thank You,

Great looking wheels! What do you use to get that shine?
I noticed your tire had a yellow "X" on the side. What is that from? I got my M a month ago & it has that yellow X on the tires too. I assume that the mark is from balancing the tires, but it won't seem to wash off with soap. I do not want to try claener which might damage the tire.
I have been using Meguire's Endurance tire treatment for a year now. Nice low gloss with 1 coat, higher gloss & longer lasting with 2 coats. One coat lasts about 2-3 mo.
I use 30-32 psi in my Michelins Pilots (stock with PHP). Handles great while keeping a decent ride. Too soon to make any assessments of tire wear.
Has anyone used Zaino's Z-7 Show Car Wash? If so, any comments? Currently using Maguirs. Any recommendations?
Next is probably the Borla exhaust but have some concerns with the increased noise. Comments?
