  A must - 2001 Chrysler 300M
  By donald45 - November 10 - 4:18 pm

  10years old and has 171k and it is amazing. The car is fast, safe, and has plenty of room im a big guy and I fit anywere in car with plenty of room. one of my speakers rattles, a crack in the passenger side dashbord and a few blemishes of the exterior from rocks and a bad hailstorm is the only things this car shows for its age. ive lost maby 2mpg and thats not to bad had to replace a cracked water pump and a belt but this car is going to last me for quite some time and i will be buying another 300m.

  I am going to Miss This Car! - 1999 Chrysler 300M
  By nursediesel - August 23 - 12:24 pm

  Had this car since it was a 2002 and had to give it up after 8 years of ownership. Nice styling, power and a comfortable ride. Changed the oil ever 3K and pampered it. Only problems were 1: Power Window Regulators (replaced 3 of them) 2: Chrome wheels began flaking and wouldnt hold tire pressure - had 4 wheels resurfaced $500. 3: Had to update the radio finally after CD stopped working This car would have probably gone to 250K miles, but it began to nickel and dime me. Latest quote was $2,000 for new struts and tranny was slipping a bit between 2nd and 3rd so it was time to move or have a possible money-pit starting.

  Worst car ever made and worst ever owned - 2003 Chrysler 300M
  By nhevinw007 - July 26 - 5:37 pm

  There is only one brand that where there are actual websites dedicated to the hate of these vehicles and all things the terrible company makes. The exterior of this vehicle is fairly nice, and the interior is roomy and comfortable. That is the good. It chews up rotors and pads. The paint started coming off at 90,000 miles. I have replaced 7 crank shaft sensors, 5 cam shaft sensors, 1 A/C compressor, at least 9 windshield wipers, and the oil has leaked since the week we bought it. It stalls all the time, and now the tranny is starting to go out. All I do is feel sorry for anyone who buys a car made by this company. [violative content deleted]

  Bought used and completely original - 2002 Chrysler 300M
  By pitmanoeuvre - May 25 - 8:46 pm

  It is a welcome change to buy a used car that doesnt start doing odd things or need more immediate attention mechanically. I bought my 2002 300m Special with 237,000kms on it , while the brakes , battery and exhaust were all original. I only needed to replace the brake pads. This speaks volumes to me in terms of value and reliability , not really seen on other used cars. While the transmission shifts ultra smooth and works as new , just like the previous owner claimed (as he said that the tranny never had any problems , just a fluid and filter change). The battery is a shock , being an Interstate Mega TronII , just like other ones at scrap yard that also had original batteries in.

  I found a 300m Special GEM - 2004 Chrysler 300M
  By pitmanoeuvre - May 21 - 1:57 am

  I just recently bought a 2002 300m Special/dark sapphire blue/black interior , and it passed emissions testing (as like new readings) , with only having replaced the sparkplugs. The car has 237,000kms on it and is in completely original condition. Being the second owner , the original owner obviously had it in a garage since new and took good care of it , without needing anything at all. Judging by the short time I have had it , it is the best used car I have yet to see. The car was starting and running fine (no ticking sounds or noises) , even while the sparkplugs were still the originals. Even the air conditioning outclasses most others I have seen. It has not needed any service.

  what a POS!!! Transmission Timing belt! - 2001 Chrysler 300M
  By ambiegirl - March 3 - 5:39 pm

  i bought this car with only 68,000 for what i thought was a deal, a week after buying it the acceleration was off & would jut after 20mph, the allignment was so bad it balded the left front tire & the gas mileage...good lord i had a aztek before this car and my aztek suv got better gas mileage. so i take it to a mechanic to see why it would shake and jut after accelerating past 20 mph and it turns out a cost of $2000 min would fix the transmission, and a min of $1000 to fix the timing belt. 3 grand in just a week after having it? the mechanic told me to get away from it as soon as possible cuz chryslers are known for transmission issues, so thats what i did. She was a beauty on the outside

  Its been great for me - 2002 Chrysler 300M
  By PaulR - November 5 - 2:00 am

  Bought new and currently have 65K trouble-free miles. Ive done regular maintenance and had to replace the battery at the 5 year mark. Tires & brakes are original and in good shape. The car is quiet and performs fine. Ive driven it from NY to Fla, SC, MO without any issues. Its everything I could ask for and hope to have it around fro a long time to come.

  Lous 300M - 2001 Chrysler 300M
  By Lous 300M - November 4 - 2:00 am

  I love this car reminds me of some of the old time luxury cars. Had to replace two front door speakers $180.00 for the pair. At 30,000 all dash board functions went to key off position and would not return $800.00. I now have rust on the tip of the hood. To replace with OEM will cost about $2000.00. Sounds like a lot but keep in mind that this car has 90,000 miles on it and a is 10 years old. That comes to only $200.00 per year. Try to buy a new and equivalent for that money. I am going to do what ever work is needed to this car and will still have a great looking, riding, reliable car for years to come. BTW this car still turns heads when I drive down the streets and highway. Regards Lou

  Not too shabby - 2002 Chrysler 300M
  By honestascanbe - September 10 - 2:00 am

  I purchased this car used with high miles so my expectations werent the greatest. The first few problems i ran into would have been minor had I owned any other domestic car. I dont understand why parts are so much and mechanics cringed at the thought of working on it. The tranny went out and drained my bank account but I have the previous owner to thank for that. I seem to continue to have issues with the power mirrors going haywire but otherwise no electrical problems. All told, I like the looks and feel of the car and if the new tranny takes it over 200,000 miles Ill be satisfied with my investment. Provided nothing else major goes wrong.
