The 300C I looked at was a special customized one for the Minnesota State Fair. Aligator-ized leather seats, two sets of gills in the hood, no chrome on the grille except the wing, I think (pretty much one piece), faux-marble plastic instead of fake wood, 20 inch wheels. LCD monitors in the headrests. Nicest 300 I've ever seen. Around $50K.
However, sice I already have a 300M, if I were to drop $50K on something, it would be a supercharged Crossfire Roadster. Mmmmmmmm.
As with many new cars, there is no key hole in the 300 trunk lid.
When did the 2006 300 start selling?
If Chrysler Corp. asked me for suggestions; I would like to give a few.
1st, I would suggest a special paint color only offered in each model.
Plus, add more solid colors.
I would like seeing a solid black color offered.
Maybe a deep red solid color added.
I would also like power lumbar as an option.
Maybe a slightly richer feeling interior would be good for the C’s
The 2005/2006 Chrysler 300's sure are great.
My Silver 300 C is awesome.
The power is very good.
When my wife drives, she likes to punch it every once in a while to feel the power of the Hemi.
I like how the more basic 300's can have just a few things added, and then look like a million dollars.
The Chrysler 300 is very good if coolness is important.
The Chrysler 300 is also very good if safety is important.
What would you like to see added to the 2007?
What do you like about your 300?
We have had 3 instances of the car experiences what we think are transmission problems. The car once placed into gear does not excerlate or can only go a certain speed and the car will begin to jerk. 3 main computer pieces have been replaced. Our transmission had to be cleaned because the fluid gelled and burnt up. Is anyone else having the same problems? What is going on? We love the car but it is spending more time with the dealer than me! New Jersey :mad:
If you only need to locomote two people at the most (driver included), then why the 300C? If you want near BMW handling, then why again for the 300C? If you want a true sedan with attitude then why the IS?
I've been known to cross shop some strange combinations, but this one I simply don't understand.

Yeah the one that I was able to negotiate to really low price was the 300C with every option but rear video, for 32-33k (DONT FULLY REMEMBER) The 2006 TL I went under invoice with 5 spd Auto/Nav for 30K, but the the IS "wow" just went down only $1000! But I know one thing for sure that all these cars have in common, is that there entry-level luxury cars! But im still going to wait to see any news on any of these cars.
Anyhoo: If it were my car I would say thanks, I'd appreciate a receipt with your diagnosis and then I would go ahead and run it. In spite of the complaints you read from some who say the warranty for DC is .... I have run Chryslers for thirty five years and I never knew a serious problem to be ignored. I am also a pilot--you get over a big body of water and the engine goes into "automatic rough" damn thing misses all the way to the shore line. A new car will do that-- all that money and what if?? I think you have a little heavier car than the 300m the engine and whole drive line is new and tight--they don't really loosen up for about 10m miles--not sure the gas we get is as good as it used to be-- you probably wont get the same mileage. If it is a curable fault they will fix it for the next what--35000 miles?! DRive and enjoy those engines are one tough hunk all best shep
If so has there been an increase in HP, MPH? What degree of difficulty is it to remove the stock unit and replace the after market version.. Thanks in advance.
Please research this a little further on the internet before you do it. :shades:

for a 2004 Deville in July 2004. Local Chrysler dealership
has treated me better than the local Cadillac dealer. I like the style and power of the 300C. Reading a story like yours gives me pause. so far all my cars have been relatively trouble free. If there are any former Cadillac owners that read this post would be interested in your experiences with your Cadillac versus the 300C. Please be sure to post your complete experience with this particular problem and thanks very much for sharing your problem to this point.
2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
I paid cash for my car so trading it in now i would lose big but just waiting a year then good buy with it I sure hope i don't have the problems you have as i need to car to transport my wife to philly at least once a month.
The dealer calls it a mild shutter mine has been back four times and they are slick about it to avoid the lemon law.
Good luck as we all need to stick together maybe they will tell the tyruth and get it fixed :lemon: :mad:
Had alittle of a trani leak that was fixed by the dealer right away. Purchased my car from a small dealer here in town and have received excellent support. Dealership makes the difference guys. I have brough many new cars and this one have to be amoung the best. So for have had no problems with mine and we have over 16000 miles already. Good luck to you all and happy motoring.
what is your in put for car care in salt conditions?
Last but not least, anyone figure out the lite system yet on the 2006 300, some times my head lite stay on but I cannot figure out how I keep doing it I think it great but how???
For the person who wants to find their odometer reading--need to know if you have the steering wheel full of buttons or just the little push button on the R quadrant of the instrument panel--if the latter just keep cycling (pushing) that button (kind of a post). shep
Also, my transmission started slipping last week and this week when I turned the car on and pulled out of the driveway, the transmission failed to engage in forward OR reverse. I shut off the engine and turned it on again nd it was OK for now. I'm heading to the dealer tomorrow AM for the 'run-around' Have there been any TSB's on this issue? Help! Thanks for all the great info on the web site...
I will keep the car a year then good bye unless they find a fix if it lasts that long, I do love the car but not the problem with the trans.
the first time I brought it back they said it was normal until I printed all the people on this form haveing the same problem now they say they are trieing to find a fix. As before i was told it was normal, normal my [non-permissible content removed] !!!!!!!!!!
On a separate subject, that of transmission slipping, has anyone with the problem checked under the car for transmission leakage? Maybe the cause is low fluid?? There's no dipstick for the transmission so you can't check the level yourself. My transmission wasn't acting strange but I did start to notice a red fluid under the car. Took it to the dealer who confirmed seal leakage (apparently a common problem) and repaired it under warranty. No problems at 16K.
