They'll either be able to do it, or they won't - credit scores don't tell the whole story, but if you have the income, job history, and credit history to back up the score, you should be able to get a good rate. Unfortunately, at least in my area, DCX isn't offering a special APR on this vehicle.

And yes, I would apply for a loan at EITHER my bank OR online - no need to do both, really. Then apply at the dealer to see if they meet or beat the offer you've already got.

We got the remainder of the 3/36k B-to-B and 7/70k PwrTrn warranty. We are considering the extended warranty for B-to-B for 8/100k (i.e., would have 7 years left). I think the price quoted was $2250 for the Max. Protection plan... I know such can be had for less, but most similar coverages seem to be still in the $2k ballpark. What say any of you?
Here's a pic...

1. Went to the Chrysler.com website. Put in the zipcode(s) I was willing to drive to to buy one.
2. Searched the inventory for the 300C equipped the way I wanted. (The VIN and window sticker can be viewed online.) I looked at all dealers within 100 miles of home--all you need is the zipcodes for the towns of those dealers
3. There was a link to email the dealer. I sent a message to them.
4. The reply came back that they would sell for invoice + 1% if I was ready to deal on that specific 300C.
5. I set up the appointment.
6. Set up financing through my credit union
7. Drove to the dealership at the appointed time.
8. Met the internet salesman who gave me a complete demonstration of the car, let me drive it. (Loved it, of course.) It was exactly the car on the website--you can get the VIN and see the window sticker on the computer)We sent inside and went through the numbers one by one.
9. Bought the C for the invoice +1% (actually for less than invoice given the $500 rebate).
10. Figured I saved nearly $2000 from what I had been able to do just walking cold into a dealership (believe me, I tried that)
10. Drove it home.
11. Answered all the questions from people stopping me on the street. I never got comments about a car like I did when driving this one.
12. I think I can tell you the dealership is in Myrtle Beach, SC
13. Enjoying the ride, 6000 miles and 4 months later. :shades:
I have been looking at the 300C and Limited and am about to start negotiating with local dealers. Before I start the process, I'd like to know what the likelihood is of better incentives in January as opposed to making a deal in December.
Thanks.
Is that a good deal?

I forgot to mention that I would be getting the $1000 rebate from Chrysler in addition to the final negotiated price, putting me $900 below invoice. I guess I should go ahead with the deal.
Appreciate your feedback.

Would appreciate any replies by day's end. Thanks
This is the bottom line, I have only $30k cash and I want the Signature Series out the door including tax and all for $30,000. I talked to a salesmen and he said that he would give it to me for invoice plus the additional $1000 cash allowance but I dont know if that would be without financing through the dealer. Can someone please help me out?
Thanks.
When I purchased my 300C AWD, I had checked the invoice through Edmunds and Kelly Blue Book. Their listed invoice prices were about $600 lower than the dealer's invoice which I did see. The $600 extra had to do with 2 market adjustments in the Chicago area. I'm sure this is probably true in other parts of the country as well. Bottom line, take your printed copies of Edmunds invoice and make sure the dealer shows you their actual invoice to make sure you are negotiating a fair deal. I paid invoice and also got the $1k Chrysler Finance cash, so was actually $1k under. Not a bad deal on a car of this caliber.
You might be better off ordering some aftermarket 20" rims as there are several choices that are much more attractive than the Chrysler rims, and sometimes cheaper too.
We're just trying to decide whether to drive over (about 3 hours to pick it up) or have them deliver it here - $120.
The internet sales people have been great - very good communication. I'm leaning to the delivery for a few reasons- not paying gas in our Denali XL to get there and back, the drive time, and not having to deal with the finance person! If it's delivered, we handle everything via Fed Ex!
Is this an '05 or '06?

I'm so damn happy with the car, I could do a backflip! After years of buying cars with limitation (money, kid's needs, hauling, functionality), it is a pleasure to drive a nice sedan with a responsive engine and steering wheel!
Good stuff in these forums. Looking forward to learning a bunch of tips, tricks, and general ideas!

-Employee Pricing about 10% below MSRP-is this national?
-Cash Discount-$1,000 is this additive? I have seen it combined with Employee Pricing
-Who funds Employee Pricing? Does Chrysler..or the Dealer?
Thanks to those who might be in the know!
Ok I've vented to you all. But they're still killing me.

Thanks to all who respond.
I am the owner of the dealership that you bought the 300 from and tough i am happy that you are happy with the car i am upset that you feel that we misled you in any way i assure you that your vehicle comes with the 8yr80k powertrain warranty ... the only thing i can think off is that chrysler does not have the current information for your car sometimes it takes a little time for it all to be processed if you would like you can contact me at the dealerhip and i would be glad to straigten this out for you.

I don't know how many H.E.'s were produced, and I would like to know the verifiable source of your info. However, I do know that your 45 day production run information may not be accurate. Why? Because I have been collecting owner's Mfg date and last six VIN numbers, color, etc., in this thread:
Make our own Build Sequence for Heritage Editions
over at 300Cforums.com since last April. I would love to have you post up the info on your H.E.'s to see where they "fit" in the growing list of recognized owners!
The earliest build date registered in my list, is 12/14/05, and the latest build date is 5/31/06... so that makes the overal production run at least 167 days, although the actual number of days on which one or more H.E.'s were produced still could be 45 I suppose, but I think it unlikely.
I hope you (and any H.E. owner) will add to the info in my list... the more the better for these great cars.
