Chrysler 300M question
 
My mom has a 2001 Chrysler 300M, and wanted me to look something up for her, but I can't find it anywhere. I'm trying to find the base price on the car when it was new, and if possible, an options and price breakdown.

Retailing for $29,640, the 300M comes with a 3.5-liter V6 and AutoStick transmission. One model is available.
An optional performance handling package ($560) includes a high-performance suspension, steering, brakes and tires. Otherwise, options are limited to a few items: power moonroof ($895), chrome wheels ($750), premium stereo system ($515).

I know, what I was trying to get at was that the quality of the 300 base is SOO much better than the 300m, and so much nicer looking

:roll: Petey, did you even read it. or are you winging it.

I know the 300 replaced the 300m, that's what I'm trying to say, is that it's really a step up from its predecessor

ga93sle 10-10-2006 08:56 PM

Wow, I didn't realize our only option on that car was the stereo.

Jim W 10-10-2006 10:05 PM

300M > 300C

Its to bad the 300M body style didnt kick around, and if it had the 5.7 V8...wow, then that would be my ultimate car.

ga93sle 10-10-2006 10:09 PM

I dunno about the others, but our 300M sucks. The inside is shoddy, the headlights have gunk in them, the paint is cracking already.

wjcollier07 10-10-2006 10:15 PM

hah, DC crap strikes again! Yeah seems like domestic cars are takin a real crap in recent years, and it seems that chrysler is leading the pack, with ford not too far behind! And GM isint exactly some perfect image either :roll:

But umm, since no one mentioned it, this is another place that tells yah the price...hah...i know im a little late but...eh :lol:

Every 300M Special I have driven has been in great condition.

Interiors get shoddy, headlights accumlate gunk and paint cracks, especially when not maintained. Don't even try to sell me on the fact that the car fell to crap all on its own, I bet it has 1000x to do with lack of proper maintainance.

Chrysler makes a decent product and the Daimler merger has only helped.

Then again I'm partial to the M Special and its not unlikely I'll have one soon.

GonneVille 10-11-2006 12:22 AM

BTW, the 300M wasn't a DC product. It was designed entirely before the merger took place.
The headlight issue is pretty much universal among Chrysler products. You can get a polishing kit from Auto-Zone that will help with that.

It's just too much of a jelly bean car for me to like it, it does have some nice designs, but the performance would let me down everytime i drove it compared to what It should do. Then again i like the bad-ass of the C more then the semi luxo of the M.

Jim W 10-11-2006 09:02 AM

Jay...I just cant get past the "wanna-be-attempt-at-Bentley" styling of the new 300.

The M Special with HIDs, body kit, dual exhaust, Michelin Pilots on 18" rims to me, is far nicer to the eye then the current offering.
