I’m pushing a 2014 200 and she’s been great to me. Been looking to purchase a 300s for a while now. Beautiful car. Dated or not I love em. They look great.
Hey joe i drove the 300s for two weeks and i had a blast driving it for two weeks kick in the sport mode and it had the v6 and it moved I enjoy drive it of course it was all black with a black leather interior interior a real mafia car!! Keep up the videos stay safe joe👍👍😎!!
I have owned two 300s. A 2010 S V6, the first year for the S model, which I sold after racking up 200,000 miles. Sold it to a neighbor and it's still going. I recently bought a 2017 S V6 AWD. The car feels smaller, like a mid size car. Interior evolution is fantastic (except for the seat comfort). The car is quick and fast. I would highly recommend this car. Still, one of the most popular and modified cars on the road. Sadly, there is talk they will be discontinued after 2020.
Just so anyone that's looking for one, so far as of rn the 2018 model is the most reliable, the 20 and 21 haven't been out long enough to tell if they are better, they are close tho.
@@RaitisRides no problem just recently got one myself and from research I came across it, I'm sure the 2020 is gonna be more reliable in a year or 2 tho

I just rented a 2020 300 it was a great car had the big roof in it. What scares me about them is reliable. Chrysler definitely needs to make a hellcat version to save it

@@Josue-xd5ru I have a 2012 Chrysler 300 V6 and it's been fine for the 2 years that I've had it. I think it has like 160,000 miles, never had to spend any real money fixing anything. It's a little big and bulky for me (was my dads originally) so I'll be trading it in soon but it's been reliable.
@Rico William Doesn't seem like it. My mom has an '11 Charger V6 and I've only seen her take it to the shop once and it was something minor because she drove the car there, it's never broken down or been towed, it has less miles than my 300 though. My brothers best freind has a similar Charger to my moms and he dogs it out everytime I see him, it still seems to run good though lol. I think some Chryslers are not reliable but 300's and Chargers seem pretty underrated.
What is this guy talking about? the chrysler 300 is dated and that they aren't seen often? Where I live here in Dallas TX I swear I can't drive down 1 street without seeing a 300
The look on the 300 is not just dated, it's carbon-dated, with a design that's influenced by the 1920's-'40's Art Deco asthetic. But that sort of thing appeals to me. It looks and feels large and solid, like the Ford-Lincoln-Mercury sedans of the '70's and 80's, the cars of my youth, without being an aerodynamic brick like most modern SUV's. I would definitely get a 300 with a V8. It's conservative but stylish, which would be great in the 🐀 race parking lot, while still standing out among the bricks with wheels. Plus,my grandma owned a Plymouth Valiant,so if Chrysler was good enough for her,etc.
Beautiful car! Although it’s probably sadly unlikely, I really hope Chrysler redesigns the 300 instead of putting it out to pasture, I’m sure there is still a good handful of people out there who’d appreciate this car’s value, large size and uniqueness.
I have always loved that overall muscular look of the Chrysler 300, it's like the guy lifting weights at muscle beach, but also with a great touch of class.
Only thing chrysler needs to do is bring back the srt8 version to the USA and also have the hellcat version it's real simple. Like who would have expected them to put it in a jeep before added it back to the 300
Joe realtall ever since the first time I heard you say that and point it out I've never looked at an engine cover without thinking of my trashcan lid! 😂😂😂😂🚗💨💨💨
Joe. I purchased a new black demo 2018 Chrysler 300C with a 5.7 Hemi which only had 6000 miles. I saved $20,000 off the $44,500 window sticker. I found that production of the 300 is just getting into the 2020 models, and they appear to be very limited. By the way they look identical. I also discovered the 300C was nearly impossible to find at Chrysler dealerships. My C has heated and cooled front moca Napa leather. Heated moca Napa leather rear. Heated and cooled cup holders. The wood trim is real wood, with very little plastic. No decals. Plus lots of technology. My headlights self adjust up, down, right and left. The front valance replaces the little grills, adding Fog lights. The Unconnect with navigation works Fantastic. The platinum 20" rim design looks great. You mentioned the 300 was a midsize car. It's actually considered a full size car. Now. Why did I purchase the 300C. I wanted a large dependable luxury/performance sedan that wasn't a cookie cutter design that didn't break the bank. The fit and finish is very good and the interior and passenger room beat the other sedans in this class due to the big and wide doors and a roofline that didn't decapitate your rear seat passengers when entering and exiting. The 300 had excellent ratings from comfort to reliability.by several reputable organizations. This is my second Chrysler with the first being a story for another time. I was ready to purchase a new Ford Taurus SHO until test driving my 300C. The SHOs rear seating area was tight. Performance was good, but was missing the exhaust rumble. Another issue at the time was Ford's decision to maintain pricing. Small rebates and smaller discounts. The SHO was over $6000 more than the car I purchased. Once I remote started the Hemi and hearing it's Rumble. I got into the drivers seat and realized this was the car I wanted. After a couple burn outs. Enjoying the performance settings and how well the car handled. I set the memory settings for the seat, mirrors and steering wheel were set. The automatic climate settings were set, and the Hemi was the perfect fit for the luxury Chrysler provided. I was sold. I should add my test drive started Friday evening and ended Monday morning. The car has a special Bentley style look with the added great stance with the large tires and rims. The car often catches other drivers attention who give compliments. Yes the styling hasn't changed for years, but in my eyes. It's a luxury hotrod that has a great look. I now have 13,000 miles and I still can't wait to hear the Hemi rumble to life and have fun driving my Chrysler 300C. I really love this car. Thanks Joe for your article. I wish you had the opportunity to drive a Hemi 300C version where the engine cover is the same for all the 5.7 Hemi powered cars. FYI. Before the shutdown. I made five passes at a local tracks test and tune. My times ranged from 13.2 with a best of 12.9. Not bad for a mid 4000 lb luxury sedan. The base 300 is just that. To much base. A lot of car for the price, but didn't come close to what I was looking for. Stay safe.
I live within the shadows of FCA North American Headquarters and usually see all kid of test mules/ camouflaged test mules running around. But I've yet to see a full size car. Most of what I see are future SUVs, CUVs, or Trucks..
I bet they will just keep producing this alongside the Charger for many years to come. No need to update it yet. It sells well, and the Charger sells even better.
I love my Chrysler 300. The major plus is how composed and confident it feels out on the road, even on crappy pavement. The only thing I would zonk are the blind spots.
I have to admit, I always found this car kind of appealing as a nice luxury car. It started with e black one in Breaking Bad! It has a kind of gangster shape.
Unfortunately a lot of people don't see it as a luxurious car neither do they like it's look. I think the reason is because of the bad marketing by the company itself.
Freedom Toys Driving Sports TV is good too. And I can’t remember but there’s another channel with a British guy and Canadian that are good. They Actually do some track stuff which is amazing.
Love my 2008 Chrysler 300!!! I thought about getting a 2020 when I heard they were going to discontinue it. I would like to see a redesigned 300, I just hope they don’t mess it up!!!
I really think Chrysler as a brand or FCA should be respected they've gone through so much hell especially during the DiamlerChrysler merger. I can understand that they are taking awhile to redesign their products but I honestly wished that they kept the last generation 200 it's a good car especially with the V6 and Awd.
@@dawson.strachan03 The early 2015's were mostly because of the transmission but the later versions had gotten better. My mother's 2017 200S Awd hasn't had issues.
I have a 2013 300S with 185,000 miles on it. I drove here from RI and I must say that I love it other than basic maintenance she runs great and would probably buy another when the time comes It’s classy comfortable and has plenty of get up and go lol would love to take the hemi out for a spin
I have the 2018 300s and love my car! Alot of room for tall people, and it is pretty fast. I like that it isn't rounded out in shape like every other sedan. Very comfortable for trips as well. I have the leather seats in mine.
I remember when I first started seeing these cars around. It was around 2005 and I wanted to check them out so badly that I tried convincing my boss (we made a lot of road trips for work) to pretend that we were doctors just so we would have an excuse to go test drive them lmao. I have no idea why I even came up with such a pretense but whatever, I was young and extremely naive lol
There won't be a redesign for the fantastic and unappreciated Chrysler 300 now that Stellantis has cancelled the 300 at the end of this year. I need to point out the bottom plastic area you zonked had fog lamps in the 300C with a standard 5.7 hemi which was disconnected. The 300C had active headlights that moved with turns along with auto leveling. Another neat feature was the heated and cooled cup holders and real soft mocha leather that are heated / Cooled front including a heated steering wheel and heated rear seats. I respectfully disagree with your reliability statement. Mine has been fantastic, receiving many positive comments regarding the looks, exhaust sound, beautiful 20" chrome rims and the unique styling that doesn't look like the other sedans that appear to use the same designer. A big disappointment seeing the Chrysler 300 come to its end
I purchased my 300 in 2006 and I still drive it, hasn't given me any problems. It's so reliable that I'm having a problem wanting to get rid of it. It has 148,000 miles on it. I love it, its black and it looks great!
Not bad but I always felt like Chrysler interiors were cheap and poor quality. The biggest problem is they need to up their game and have better reliability. I mean don't get me wrong the hellcat is awesome but the interior always looks cheaped.
I’ll say this, that car is very clean looking. It honestly takes me back to being a kid and seeing the stormtroopers from star wars for the first time and thinking the same thing; they’re so shiny and new looking and clean lol
If you purchase the 300C. You get real Napa diamond sewn leather seats that are extremely comfortable with heated/cooled front seats. Heated/cooled front cup holders. Heated rear seats and of course heated electronic adjustable steering wheel. No cloth or make-believe leather. Even the wood trim used in the interior is stained to match the mocha interior. If you purchase a base. You get the basic interior. I found the base was to base for what I was looking for.
There’s no refresh coming! Family member is in fca engineering, they aren’t planning on refreshing shit except for the grand Cherokee and debuting the Grand Wagoneer soon.
Not into this car at all, but regardless of what you're reviewing, your videos bring me great joy. Thank you for making these scary times so much more bearable
I have a 2018 300C... it's a beast of a car... V8, leather, etc... Yes, there are alternatives, but I wanted a large American sedan. When it's in a parking lot, I know exactly where it is b/c it doesn't look like anything else!! Classic...
@Rico William You're forgetting about the astonishingly low MSRP for what the 300 is. The only reason why Chrysler can get away with that is that tooling cost has been reduced to a minimum. I personally love it and it's one of the few modern cars I actually care about.
@@jaylove954 I saw the Chrysler 300 sx and that b was clean!!! With sunroof and leather seats with a bit of cloth but I wanted a black on black and thats what I ended up with.
@@cindyadame-rivera4858 wow that’s a great choice, black on black is 🔥 I’m tired for 2 doors lol I need more space, my passengers need to be comfortable lol
Looks like a very comfortable car to go floating down the freeway in. If you're stuck in traffic, atleast you're comfy. A refresh will do it well and I'd take this over a Camry or Accord any day.
@@briangarrow4271 My bad the s is 300. but the regular one like in this video has 292. I have a c with the v6 and it says in the manual 292 horsepower. The 5.7 hemi is 363.

This is a very nice car. Rented one for two weeks and loved it. Solid riding and quiet. You can get these at great prices. Love them even in this outdated model. Badass car all it needs is a 392
Chrysler and FIAT just need to die and be left as a forgotten footnote in the automotive industry. Let Dodge/RAM and Jeep be independent to do their own things.
BRUH IT LOOKS LIKE A 200 CHRYSLER BEACUSE THE LOGO'S AND THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR BRUH THE COMPANY OF CHRYSLER'S THEY FUCK UP THE CAR REALLY BAD BRUH PLEASE TAKE OF THE 300 LOGO IN THIS CHRYSLER "200".
As for me, the first thing I noticed were NO manufacturing/factory calibration 'dots' on the front or read bumpers...Nice. But the retro analog clock? maximum Zonk.
IS GOOD CAR BUT IF THE COMPANY OF CHRYSLER TAKE OUT THE 300 LOGO AND PUT 200 LOGO BEACUSE CHECK OUT THE LOGOS FRONT AND THE BACK THE COMPANY FUCK UP ON THE LOGOS IN THE OUTSIDE AND THE INSIDE.
I have a 2022 Chrysler 300 and my car was like 32 thousand but 26 thousand walking out the door. I couldn’t pass that up I don’t need a lot just big space power full of enough for me 🤷🏾♂️
Miko_Pure they aren’t physically the same car but they’re the same specs. Chrysler hasn’t changed anything on the car since 2016. So why spend $35,000 on a 2020 when you can have the same features and design for $12,000 on 2016? Imagine paying 35k on a car that breaks down or needs a major repair in less than a year? If you buy one for 12k and it breaks down you still have $23,000 to go buy another car, or in other words LESS OF A RISK.
Miko_Pure Miko_Pure lol I’m a witness that an ES350 is definitely not a suited up Camry. They stop building it on the Camry platform in 2013. It’s based on an Avalon but if you drive an Avalon and an ES350 back to back it’s like night and day. Genesis is good too they getting better with their quality.
Miko_Pure The GS is RWD and has 306 hp and the I’m trading my ES for a 2017 GS but there are plenty of those 2015 and under for well under 24k. But if you want a Charger go for it.
I love how he points out the reliability issue near the end. I had a Chrysler before and I swear that thing literally wanted me to die. It would decide to break down without warning in the most unpleasant situations, in the worst weather, and when you were out in the middle of no where. They suck money so bad as far as repairs go.

@@Josue-xd5ru I have a 2012 Chrysler 300 V6 and it's been fine for the 2 years that I've had it. I think it has like 160,000 miles, never had to spend any real money fixing anything. It's a little big and bulky for me (was my dads originally) so I'll be trading it in soon but it's been reliable.
@Rico William Doesn't seem like it. My mom has an '11 Charger V6 and I've only seen her take it to the shop once and it was something minor because she drove the car there, it's never broken down or been towed, it has less miles than my 300 though. My brothers best freind has a similar Charger to my moms and he dogs it out everytime I see him, it still seems to run good though lol. I think some Chryslers are not reliable but 300's and Chargers seem pretty underrated.
"That's a major zonk looks like the lid off a trash can" lol🤣
What is this guy talking about? the chrysler 300 is dated and that they aren't seen often? Where I live here in Dallas TX I swear I can't drive down 1 street without seeing a 300
Yea it depends on the area u live especially blacks like myself and Mexicans and especially in the south ppl love 300
The look on the 300 is not just dated, it's carbon-dated, with a design that's influenced by the 1920's-'40's Art Deco asthetic.
But that sort of thing appeals to me. It looks and feels large and solid, like the
Ford-Lincoln-Mercury sedans of the '70's and 80's, the cars of my youth, without being an aerodynamic brick like most modern SUV's.
I would definitely get a 300 with a V8. It's conservative but stylish, which would be great in the 🐀 race parking lot, while still standing out among the bricks with wheels. Plus,my grandma owned a Plymouth Valiant,so if Chrysler was good enough for her,etc.
It's a rolling relic! ;-)
Beautiful car! Although it’s probably sadly unlikely, I really hope Chrysler redesigns the 300 instead of putting it out to pasture, I’m sure there is still a good handful of people out there who’d appreciate this car’s value, large size and uniqueness.
I have always loved that overall muscular look of the Chrysler 300, it's like the guy lifting weights at muscle beach, but also with a great touch of class.
I’m faster than these bots
The_Solution you are awesome!
Wait for a redesign? More likely buy one now and put it away as a collector's item. I suspect we've seen the last of this vehicle.
It will be intersting to see what happens!
Collectors item would be the MY 2012-2014
300 SRT.
@@HOTPLATEGAMING LOL. I've got a '13 SRT8. I like the fact it doesn't look like every other boring thing on thy road.
Only thing chrysler needs to do is bring back the srt8 version to the USA and also have the hellcat version it's real simple. Like who would have expected them to put it in a jeep before added it back to the 300
@ I doubt it. It's the next best thing to a grand marquis to the older generation
Chrysler still has a place in my ❤️.
Definitely a classic.
AGREED!
Engine cover looks like lid from trash can lolllllllll
Thanks for letting me share some laughs with you!
Joe realtall ever since the first time I heard you say that and point it out I've never looked at an engine cover without thinking of my trashcan lid! 😂😂😂😂🚗💨💨💨

Joe. I purchased a new black demo 2018 Chrysler 300C with a 5.7 Hemi which only had 6000 miles. I saved $20,000 off the $44,500 window sticker. I found that production of the 300 is just getting into the 2020 models, and they appear to be very limited. By the way they look identical. I also discovered the 300C was nearly impossible to find at Chrysler dealerships. My C has heated and cooled front moca Napa leather. Heated moca Napa leather rear. Heated and cooled cup holders. The wood trim is real wood, with very little plastic. No decals. Plus lots of technology. My headlights self adjust up, down, right and left. The front valance replaces the little grills, adding Fog lights. The Unconnect with navigation works Fantastic. The platinum 20" rim design looks great. You mentioned the 300 was a midsize car. It's actually considered a full size car. Now. Why did I purchase the 300C. I wanted a large dependable luxury/performance sedan that wasn't a cookie cutter design that didn't break the bank. The fit and finish is very good and the interior and passenger room beat the other sedans in this class due to the big and wide doors and a roofline that didn't decapitate your rear seat passengers when entering and exiting. The 300 had excellent ratings from comfort to reliability.by several reputable organizations. This is my second Chrysler with the first being a story for another time. I was ready to purchase a new Ford Taurus SHO until test driving my 300C. The SHOs rear seating area was tight. Performance was good, but was missing the exhaust rumble. Another issue at the time was Ford's decision to maintain pricing. Small rebates and smaller discounts. The SHO was over $6000 more than the car I purchased. Once I remote started the Hemi and hearing it's Rumble. I got into the drivers seat and realized this was the car I wanted. After a couple burn outs. Enjoying the performance settings and how well the car handled. I set the memory settings for the seat, mirrors and steering wheel were set. The automatic climate settings were set, and the Hemi was the perfect fit for the luxury Chrysler provided. I was sold. I should add my test drive started Friday evening and ended Monday morning. The car has a special Bentley style look with the added great stance with the large tires and rims. The car often catches other drivers attention who give compliments. Yes the styling hasn't changed for years, but in my eyes. It's a luxury hotrod that has a great look. I now have 13,000 miles and I still can't wait to hear the Hemi rumble to life and have fun driving my Chrysler 300C. I really love this car. Thanks Joe for your article. I wish you had the opportunity to drive a Hemi 300C version where the engine cover is the same for all the 5.7 Hemi powered cars. FYI. Before the shutdown. I made five passes at a local tracks test and tune. My times ranged from 13.2 with a best of 12.9. Not bad for a mid 4000 lb luxury sedan. The base 300 is just that. To much base. A lot of car for the price, but didn't come close to what I was looking for. Stay safe.
@@hemi300c4 you just sold me on this car Bro!!😁💪🇺🇸
9:55 Joe this is what we love ❤. When Joe says something Tom always starts laughing & then their goes Joe 🤣🤣🤣.
Thanks Jay! I couldn't hold it in anymore!
I live within the shadows of FCA North American Headquarters and usually see all kid of test mules/ camouflaged test mules running around. But I've yet to see a full size car. Most of what I see are future SUVs, CUVs, or Trucks..
I bet they will just keep producing this alongside the Charger for many years to come. No need to update it yet. It sells well, and the Charger sells even better.
I love my Chrysler 300. The major plus is how composed and confident it feels out on the road, even on crappy pavement. The only thing I would zonk are the blind spots.
You should try to get your hands a fully loaded, or nearly loaded 300, it can get quite luxurious.
I agree! Stay tuned!
I have a 2014C and it's loaded. Sticker on mine was about $20,000 more than this 1 and it's loaded and like you said quite luxurious.
I have to admit, I always found this car kind of appealing as a nice luxury car. It started with e black one in Breaking Bad! It has a kind of gangster shape.
The black one in breaking bad is sooo dope
Unfortunately a lot of people don't see it as a luxurious car neither do they like it's look.
I think the reason is because of the bad marketing by the company itself.
The 300 is based on the "Gangster" concept down to the coin holders inside. Read the wiki
2010 Chrysler was my first and ima buy a new one soon 🦧

@Freedom Toys I agree!
Another good old school series to watch is Victory by Design.
Love my 2008 Chrysler 300!!! I thought about getting a 2020 when I heard they were going to discontinue it. I would like to see a redesigned 300, I just hope they don’t mess it up!!!
I was thinking they should make it look like it’s distant cousin the Maserati
I really think Chrysler as a brand or FCA should be respected they've gone through so much hell especially during the DiamlerChrysler merger. I can understand that they are taking awhile to redesign their products but I honestly wished that they kept the last generation 200 it's a good car especially with the V6 and Awd.
Weren’t the Chrysler 200 rly unreliable?
My grandpa had a 2016 200S AWD. Got totaled in an accident 😭
@@dawson.strachan03 The early 2015's were mostly because of the transmission but the later versions had gotten better. My mother's 2017 200S Awd hasn't had issues.
@@zachmassy5215 Darn that really sucks I hope your uncle is okay.

I feel sorry for anyone who plans to keep this car long term.
You may be right!
Killing me with the Doritos commentary 😂. Anyone else would have edited that out lol
I’ve heard more than a few rumbles that ‘20 is it for the 300. Given the panic the world is currently experiencing, I doubt this model will survive.
I think you may be right!
That's what I've heard. Big sedans are a dying market anyway. Chrysler is switching to making luxury crossovers.
Isaac Fox A new iteration of the Aspen?
@@DS-wo8wr Yup
It's had a decent run.
I have a 2013 300S with 185,000 miles on it. I drove here from RI and I must say that I love it other than basic maintenance she runs great and would probably buy another when the time comes
It’s classy comfortable and has plenty of get up and go lol would love to take the hemi out for a spin
Thanks for sharing your input and your experience!
I have the 2018 300s and love my car! Alot of room for tall people, and it is pretty fast. I like that it isn't rounded out in shape like every other sedan. Very comfortable for trips as well. I have the leather seats in mine.
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective!
I remember when I first started seeing these cars around. It was around 2005 and I wanted to check them out so badly that I tried convincing my boss (we made a lot of road trips for work) to pretend that we were doctors just so we would have an excuse to go test drive them lmao. I have no idea why I even came up with such a pretense but whatever, I was young and extremely naive lol
That's My BABY" I Have The Exact Same One! Black Special Edition, and I have to admit! I Love it...
ZONK ZONK ZONK. just no. Still looks like a 2013
I was thinking 2010.
@@RaitisRides true joe. I shouldnt have even given the extra 3 years!
There won't be a redesign for the fantastic and unappreciated Chrysler 300 now that Stellantis has cancelled the 300 at the end of this year. I need to point out the bottom plastic area you zonked had fog lamps in the 300C with a standard 5.7 hemi which was disconnected. The 300C had active headlights that moved with turns along with auto leveling. Another neat feature was the heated and cooled cup holders and real soft mocha leather that are heated / Cooled front including a heated steering wheel and heated rear seats. I respectfully disagree with your reliability statement. Mine has been fantastic, receiving many positive comments regarding the looks, exhaust sound, beautiful 20" chrome rims and the unique styling that doesn't look like the other sedans that appear to use the same designer. A big disappointment seeing the Chrysler 300 come to its end
I purchased my 300 in 2006 and I still drive it, hasn't given me any problems. It's so reliable that I'm having a problem wanting to get rid of it. It has 148,000 miles on it. I love it, its black and it looks great!
Not bad but I always felt like Chrysler interiors were cheap and poor quality. The biggest problem is they need to up their game and have better reliability. I mean don't get me wrong the hellcat is awesome but the interior always looks cheaped.
I’ll say this, that car is very clean looking. It honestly takes me back to being a kid and seeing the stormtroopers from star wars for the first time and thinking the same thing; they’re so shiny and new looking and clean lol
I actually prefer cloth over that crap synthetic leather any day of the week
It's always nice to have options.
If you purchase the 300C. You get real Napa diamond sewn leather seats that are extremely comfortable with heated/cooled front seats. Heated/cooled front cup holders. Heated rear seats and of course heated electronic adjustable steering wheel. No cloth or make-believe leather. Even the wood trim used in the interior is stained to match the mocha interior. If you purchase a base. You get the basic interior. I found the base was to base for what I was looking for.
0-60 in 6.3 sec ?? 🤔
There’s no refresh coming! Family member is in fca engineering, they aren’t planning on refreshing shit except for the grand Cherokee and debuting the Grand Wagoneer soon.
Damn for real??? smh

Not into this car at all, but regardless of what you're reviewing, your videos bring me great joy. Thank you for making these scary times so much more bearable
That really means the world my friend!
"Dont touch anything cause it is gonna get cheesy" I also started to laugh out loud.😂😂😂
So they had 15 years to work out all the kinks & it's still unreliable.

Great review I looked at a 2019 "300S" last week the cost was $24,000. It really had me thinking ....but, a 2020 for $27,000 sounds like a deal.
Was that 300s used? If new, that's a awesome price. There's very little difference between the 2019 and 2020.
I’ve seen a 2019 300s used for 19k and 21k
@Rico William You're forgetting about the astonishingly low MSRP for what the 300 is. The only reason why Chrysler can get away with that is that tooling cost has been reduced to a minimum. I personally love it and it's one of the few modern cars I actually care about.

Chrysler and FIAT just need to die and be left as a forgotten footnote in the automotive industry. Let Dodge/RAM and Jeep be independent to do their own things.

Eh, buy a 2016 it’s the exact same car literally nothing changed. It’ll be a third of the cost and a third of the risk.
Miko_Pure did you watch the video? Chrysler has a bad history with reliability as he mentioned in the video.
Miko_Pure they aren’t physically the same car but they’re the same specs. Chrysler hasn’t changed anything on the car since 2016. So why spend $35,000 on a 2020 when you can have the same features and design for $12,000 on 2016? Imagine paying 35k on a car that breaks down or needs a major repair in less than a year? If you buy one for 12k and it breaks down you still have $23,000 to go buy another car, or in other words LESS OF A RISK.
Miko_Pure I’d look at a 2016 Avalon or a 2016 Lexus ES350. If you don’t like Japanese you should find plenty of chargers and 300’s around 20k tho.
Miko_Pure Miko_Pure lol I’m a witness that an ES350 is definitely not a suited up Camry. They stop building it on the Camry platform in 2013. It’s based on an Avalon but if you drive an Avalon and an ES350 back to back it’s like night and day. Genesis is good too they getting better with their quality.
Miko_Pure The GS is RWD and has 306 hp and the I’m trading my ES for a 2017 GS but there are plenty of those 2015 and under for well under 24k. But if you want a Charger go for it.
I guess this guy is trying appeal to fat ppl, candy storage, twinkie places. Get in weighting 200 get out weighting 275.lol
I love how he points out the reliability issue near the end. I had a Chrysler before and I swear that thing literally wanted me to die. It would decide to break down without warning in the most unpleasant situations, in the worst weather, and when you were out in the middle of no where. They suck money so bad as far as repairs go.
