The old mechanics and car resale guys swear by these. Not only is the reliability fairly good, they are cheap to repair.
Is that true I hear the opposite of
Probably wanted you to buy one so they could take all your money repairing it
Same platform as the charger. So yes. Very simple and strong car. @@jedidiasobedgarciamedina4344
Parts for chystler are unnecessarily expensive
This guy is lying to you. There’s a reason they have the worst reputation in the US. Buy one but expect issues early on, especially water pump failure which is the first issue to appear most of the time. Also, stay away from pre-2015 models.
With that said, I’ll be picking my 2020 300s soon after my 300c blew up.
I’m a big fan of Scotty , but i have a 2006 300 AWD that I bought in 2018 with 96,000 miles and it still looks great and runs like a champ
Yes, Scott is knowledgeable mechanic wise, but very bias and close minded. His absolute way of thinking, tends to paint other brands with a broad brush.
Im not a big fan of scotty. He’s like baby first car reviewer. thinks he clever and everybody is an idiot for not driving a toyota econobox
my buddy who is better than any of these youtube mechanics by miles, hates all cars, when you put in 60-70 hours a week working on them, that will happen.
All these yt supposed experts sound like the writers I used to work with, talk you into spending every penny you ever had in a shit box but couldn't fix a damn thing themselves less than shop time rates so they put them in the front.
Those that can do those that cannot teach
Mines is a 2015 awd 300c with 337k miles it’s been holding up pretty good. I had to replace the water pump 4x oil filter module 2x and drive shaft 2 x and transmission seal 1x and headlight 3x , belt and tensioner 5x since I brought it with 27k it’s been holding up pretty good all original parts. I change all fluids every 4K to 45k miles. All original parts
Not everyone knows how to drive and take care of these cars... or cars in general. Team Chrysler300 here 🙏🏻🙌🏻💪🏼
damn, that’s awesome man makes me feel better about the one i picked up with 200k miles. got a really good deal on it, and have been changing fluids out every weekend lol.
@@iansmith9201 would you recommend a 2014 Chrysler 300 for 16k? (84k miles )
@@senorbonbon if it seems to be in good shape and has v8 i would say it’s worth it, just make sure you keep on top of fluid changes and it should be a good vehicle! one thing to watch out for is camshaft and lifter failure on the v8’s (watch videos on this if you haven’t already)
@@iansmith9201 2017 Chrysler 300 c 110k mikes for $19,000 what you think I just graduate high school and wnat a Chrysler
My 2015 Chrysler 200 3.6 has 157,000 miles. Love it.
i heard the 200s are awful
@@llretro686yeah I’ve heard those lies as well😂
167,000 miles now.
I just bought a 2014 300 c with 87k on it. Has all the bells and whistles on it. I haven't got to drive it too much but so far I love the thing! It doesnt get the best gas mileage compared to my previous vehicles though (however, I am 20, and may or may not have a lead foot!). It is a very comfortable car for taller people (I am 6'1"). It has plenty of power when it needs to but it is by no means uncontrollable. The steering is smooth as all get out in the AWD version. Although the ride is mostly smooth, as the video said, it does have some issues with suspension, and is starting to show through. The Uconnect and the navigation system have yet to give me trouble (knock on wood). The only issue I have run into when it comes to electronics is the aux and USB the center console of the car. The randomly come and go in terms of working. Online forums have indicated to me that these issues are fairly common. Hopefully not too hard and/or expensive of a fix. All in all, I really enjoy the car thus far, and if the reliability ratings on this cars are true, then I would recommend buying one ! :)
How is it going with your car here in 2022? I am about to purchase a 2014 300 S with 84k
@@coryharner5306 mines still doing really well! Doing regular maintenance on it probably hasn’t hurt it at all, buts it’s treated me well so far and I love mine. It’s got around 106k on it now, so a bit of driving has been done. Which engine does the one you’re looking at have in it?
@@wyattswafford1829 it's got the 3.6L. We just picked it up 3 days ago. It's super smooth, sleek and makes me want to listen to light Jazz when I'm driving. We live in Colorado and it's a RWD but we also have a 4x4 so I'm thinking it will treat us very well. It's a sharp looking car. Black with chrome trim but the chrome isn't gawdy. I'm looking forward to putting some miles on it. If it turns into a great and reliable car we might be a Chrysler family from now on. Thank you for responding. I truly appreciate the interaction. I hope you have a very merry Christmas and a wonderful new year!
@@wyattswafford1829 thinkin of getting one with a 140k is it worth it..?!? Drives so smooth
@@coryharner5306 hey ! You still like your car? Sorry I didn’t see this sooner, hope you had a great holiday season :)
The UConect issues are to my understanding a 2015+ issue. In 2015 they "upgraded" to a more app based UConnect, generally the UAQ radio. This sucker is one large expensive unit and prone to issues. 11-14 have a simpler more robust system where the screen is just a screen and the unit is separate. While they have a few less features they're far more robust and the few failures that do happen with the screen are easily fixed.
In the market for a new car a lot of my days have been search deals on dodge chargers and challengers and 300s. I’ve been a fan of the 300 since 2004 it’s such so stylish and comfy and big guy friendly.
I defiantly seen a few 300s sub100k miles for under $12k.
Definitely go with the 300, as the Chargers and Challengers are too thug & hoodlum associated.
Great review! I just bought a beautiful 2014 today got out of a 2006 Lincoln town car so I needed something just as big and this was it!
Thank you! Enjoy the new car!
damn girl u gangsta
Im about to purchase a 2014 300s with 119k miles for $12,488 USD looks very clean with clean title what you think. It’s the Best price I could find in my area for a clean title 300s
Thanks you for the review bro ! I just got one and I love it looks classy, elegant and good for the family
bought a 2017 300 Limited brand new. It now has 29000 miles and has been out of warranty for about a year. A/C compressor began leaking oil and had to have it replaced for $1700. The driver's side strut is already making noise so I'll have to get both front struts replaced at around $600 to $800. These two issues should never have come up at the low mileage it has. Otherwise I really like the car. V-6 Pentastar motor is awesome!!!
I have a 2016 300S and it’s never needed anything replaced. Air conditioner is a bit weak so there’s probably a leak somewhere but other than that it’s been a fantastic car and she’s put up with a lot of abuse (being driven on nothing but the rim with a blown out tire TWICE). only 71K and that’s pretty much barely broken in for a Pentastar. love the car.
260,000? Wow, that is a lot of miles! I have a 07 Charger R/T with just over 118,000 on it and this has been my daily driver for the last 12 years since buying it nearly new with 11,000 on it.
And like the 05 Chrysler 300 with the 5.7 hemi that you demo'd in your other video; yes, I can relate to the leaky valve cover gasket (though mine is on the driver's side). Overall a great car that has needed very little. In fact, the only thing that is not original to the car (besides the tires and front ball joints) is the battery that I just replaced at the 10 year mark. Even the radiator, alternator, and headlights are original.
Lastly, I have had to replace the AC blower motor twice! Yes, the original lasted about 9 years, and the replacement one from A-1 Auto lasted just under 2 years.
Didn't have any issue with the "tick" or the fuel tank recall.
Also, my power trunk release feature quit working about 2 years ago. Haven't made an effort to fix it, however, it most likely can be attributed to a broken wire where the harness comes out of the trunk lid. There is a video somewhere on UA-cam showing how to fix it. Maybe I'll give it a go this summer.
Just got a 2014 with 155k a few months ago, and love it. Gets good Gas, rides smooth and the little things that's wrong are easy fixes. Except that damn AC thing you mentioned where it gets Hot on one side and cool on the other. Camera situation I have to figure out as well.
leave your car on the run position and you should here a noise of a motor inside your dash. that’s the actuator moving
That 3.6 is the best V-6 ever built by Chrysler
I agree. Thanks for watching!
3.8 best gm v6
John C. Agree
Is that the same motor they putting in the new v6 chargers?
Sike Chrysler engines are so unreliable. They built the engine with a serious imperfection the rod will definitely start knockingat around 150k. If you don’t believe me google it. Chrysler has gone to beyond shit ever since fiat bought them.
just bought a 2012 with 115k miles I feel like I came up lol thabks for the video buddy
Hope it helped you out!
I just found a 2012 listed with 290k kilometers. It is safetied but im kinda worried about the high mileage...
142k miles right now 2012 Chrysler 300 3.6L
Love the 300 🦾💪🏻🦍👹🇨🇺
Still have it@@alejandrovelazquez2378
Same exact one I have! Been my favorite car since Middle School, I'm 28 now and I bought mine in 2021 for $4.5k and still needs new parts didn't replace all the parts when I should've but I am willing to keep her and fix her up make her brand new, then take her to car shows when I'm done hooking her up!! Haven't seen and drove my baby for 2 years cuz I need to re-register and get new parts, so she just sitting at my older sisters house, until I get it fixed and re-registered, miss my baby so much! I am so excited to fix her up and drive her again!! 😫💗💯🙏🏻🤍🙌🏻
Not surprised suspension is worn as those cars weigh around 4000 pounds. I just got a 2014 300-S AWD and like it.
How is the car
I'd that an S??? I did not see the S emblem or the beats radio. I'm looking into a 2014 s with 168000 miles. The car fax states no real damage or maintenance issues. Should I purchase it or not? The asking price is 12,000 and I know I can get it down down because 12000 for 168000 miles is fucking ridiculous!!! So should I buy or not?? Help me out guys.
I think your right the 2014 S I've seen usually has black bezels around the taillights/headlights, Beats audio, no chrome, and 18 inch chrome rims. This one looks like it has the base original 17 inch rims and the BIG thing is no backup camera?????
That came standard on all the Limited, S, and C model trims on 2011-2014.
I don't think this guy even knew what he was reviewing
U are right I don't drive the 2014 that much but me actuator went out on the passenger side 2 weeks ago and I'm try in to get it fixed I bout mine in 2015 it was 6 months old..great car I really like it
That is in surprisingly good shape for that many miles!
No tripod? The camera was held well, but just curious if that was a creative decision.
Yeah it really has held up well! And I use a tripod sometimes but it's a little easier to have someone else hold the camera and frame up the shots.
I'm debating on buying a 2016 300s w 92k miles, single owner. It's currently 2024.
HEYYYYYYYYY I didnt know that Phil Kessel reviews cars on the side during I guess his downtime from his NHL games!
Btw nice review Phil LOL!!
I can add a very common issue. This car doesn't have it but the 11-14 cars with leather dash all fail. The leather pulls apart at the seem close to the windshield. Not a huge issue, but ugly, kinda pricey to fix and Chrysler hasn't done anything about it. The Jeeps Cherokees of the same years do it as well, but Jeep extended the warranty to cover it.
I haven't fixed mine yet, I'm told best to find wait till something happens to the windshield then find a glass and upholstery place to remove the windshield and fix the dash. If you have one with a leather dash and it hasn't pulled up yet get or thank a windshield sunshade. FWIW weathertech makes custom fit sunshades that work quite well.
Toplineracer, are you still there? Thank you for this video information. I have my 2014 Chrysler 300 @ 83,500 miles. Love it still. You mentioned something I have a question about?
For 260k miles. This looks pretty good
im planning on buying a 2015 300c with 35k mile. its my first car and i wanted to know more about it. and your video was very supportive

How much better is the interior in these 300s than a charger/challenger in similar price range, if any? Fell in love with 300s after having one for a rental, even though by no means I'm a Mopar fan
What would you recommend on a 2014 Chrysler 300 with 183,000 miles ? I mean I want I just don’t want to regret it
I like the 300C and SRT models
Blown head gasket ? I'm looking at the radiator reservoir
Currently looking to buy a 2013 300 rwd v6 with 61k for $14k out the door
Update?
Pretty impressive mileage for this car.
My 2000 Chrysler 300 had 220,k and was running well before I wreck it
Can see your camera guy in the reflection of your shades 🤪
13 with 120000 miles easily my favorite car haven't had any exotic cars but I'I've had plenty that were supposed to be better.
Is this car still running
That’s not a 300s
Front fender apron are always coming loose on these and your heater doors stick causing a thumping.
Excellent review. Thank You!
Thanks for watching! Lots more to come!
I owned a 2012 chrysler 300 limited for 26 months, traded it in 1 month ago. I want to chime in to add some problems i saw on my car. Mileage is a killer with these cars, especially for fleet vehicles. I had to replace the transmission, engine heads (pentastar tick) , ball joints, tie rods, control arms, brakes, tail lights, alternator, brakes, tires, air bag sensors under seat, cruise control button, headlight switch, passenger side mirror, and the exhaust, most repairs being under an extended warranty I purchased my car at 108105 miles and sold it with 126058 miles after 26 months. When i sold my car, the transmission was failing again, the blend door actuators both were in need of replacing, the airbag light was on, and the bluetooth had stopped working completely. My only advice to perspective buyers of the chrysler 300 is get one with a warranty, you will need it.
Sounds like you had a lemon. Most of these cars have good reliability.
Great content these are good cars to own
Thanks!
PERSONALLY, I would MUCH RATHER PARTY WITH A CHRYSLER "300" THAT COULD ONLY COAST ALONG BUS LINES THAN THE "best" Toyota EVER MADE!
😆
@@sewj8046 IF you believe in Toyota TRASH,; more "power" to ya!
I always say, mopar or no car 😍
Hey man what do you think about getting a Chrysler as a first car? I’m thinking of getting 2017 and up. People say they’re bad cars but man they look so sick I would also daily it so I don’t know man!
How long cars are suppose to last cause I honestly assume every car is 3 years if u don’t wreck lol
Suspension problems are due to the fact that they are Mercedes C. My 2013 was replaced during warranty.
Does anyone recommend buying a 2014 with 115k miles on it?
If the price is right I'd go for it. They are solid cars.
TopLineRacer what would you say a good price for a car like that?
2006 to 2010 used an 3.5HO
Thanks for the review ‼️
Great video, thanks so much!
So in general is it relible or not ??
Yes! These cars are very reliable.
Well done
Bad boy car
Any car that had 260,000 miles on it, in that condition,is an excellent 🚨
I have a 2014 300 base and the front end has an engine/front end rattle. No shake , just metal rattling. Also, the whining in the steering wheel.
Most probably the water pump or some pulley
Theres a 2014 Chrysler 300 uptown edition with 269k on it and it says highway miles and the interior and everything is a bit better than this car I'm wondering if I should buy it? Its 5900$
Nah, that's too high.
Ok, Thank you for responding.
Was it the 8 speed transmission?
More than likely no, wasn’t standard until 2015, but was an option.
@@dmoney6633 Wrong. It was standard in the 3.6L variants from 2011+. It became standard for the 5.7L in 2015.
@@KylePetersonDmaster223 that is not true at all. It was optional until 2015, when it became standard. Do your research bud. You could pick the 5 speed or 8 speed from 2011-14 on the v6 on any lx car.
@@KylePetersonDmaster223 2012+. 2011 had the 5 speed only

How many miles do u have on this car??
Found a 2012 300s with 290k km. It is currently safetied but the high mileage has me skeptical. They're asking 6900obo(Cad).
Buy or pass?..(please don't be a dick about it)
I wouldn't be too concerned with the mileage. I am not familiar with pricing in your area so I can't really comment on if it's a good deal. As long as it's been maintained it should be reliable for a while yet.
2012 approaching 300K miles.
How’s it hold up? I seen a 2014 with 160k but iffy on it before I try to check it out
thanks for the review - how many hours are on the engine? 52k miles a year is a lot, assuming it was mostly highway miles.
I'm honestly not sure (the car is torn apart now, it was used as parts for a rebuild). It was used as a limo since new so that the reason for the high miles.

I have a 2016 300 s AWD, owned 3 years now, still love it, may have a driveshaft issue, but it’s still a keeper, no other issues since I’ve owned it, has the the beat sound system , which is sounds awesome with Sirius xm radio. Smooth ride, comfortable, leather stitched interior, rear fold down seat, good gas mileage, plent of power, goes great at high speeds, remote start, with auto shut off after 10 minutes if you don’t drive away, blind spot monitoring, can’t lock the keys in the car by mistake, dial controls instead of all touch screen, heated seats, you can’t go wrong if you buy this car, even if something goes wrong it’s still a great ride.

Everyone says chrysler arent reliable and all that if you just maintain the car in correct way it wont break down so easily
I don't think that's a "300S" Lol, just a Touring or Limited
pretty sure its a C because it has wood grain and chrome trim
