Re: Chrysler 300

I would vote for car #2.. only because with kids leather seats clean up faster,I like the nav system and bigger engine too

but for resale value I would go with the newer model

You know Kia, we Moms are always considering the kids first. That's why I leaned towards the Touring because although I don't like the tan/black tones, I prefer the leather because it cleans easier for kids. I would lightly tint the windows to keep so much sun out because leather will crack. Sheepskin coverings are helpful too.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: msgoody2shoes</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Well, I went to look at 2 cars yesterday.

1. Black Pearl 2008 22K miles 15,988. 2.7L engine. No discount due to internet price. Cloth seats. Very good condition considering it was a rental for 8 months. Bummer is car came in Oct. at 21,533 but Manager drives it home everyday and is now at 22K miles.

2. Black Pearl 2006 37+ miles. 3.5L engine. Touring package w/sunroof and Nav system and 6 disc changer. Leather 2 toned seats. Was 1 owner leased. Have to add extended warranty but promises a discount. Was 17,500 but matched price of car above and willing to shave off a couple more hundreds. Very good condition.

Took a poll and car #2 is winning 6-0. What ya'll think?? </div></div>

Well, I actually bought car #2 last Thursday and took it back within 24 hours. Although my credit score is nearly 700, they financed the car at 17.2%. No way in the world is a car worth that to me!

So I regrouped and went to my Credit Union yesterday and went back for the car at 9.2%. It's Pearl Black and beautiful with sunroof top, Nav system, Sirius Radio, etc. Similar to the one below which is the SRT8 from the Chrysler website.

You know! I took it back on Friday and they put the car on the internet yesterday. I had to move it move it!!
And the internet price was 16,991. It started at 17,500 and I talked them down to 15,488. So I got the same price again.

^^^ I think you're really going to enjoy the car. My auntie has the same model (touring) in that pearl white color and she's had it for at least 3 or 4 years. It hasn't given her an ounce of trouble and still looks good.

Yeah, I am going back for the extended warranty tomorrow. This one has only had a mirror and a tire replaced. Fully serviced on the 13th. I am going to enjoy it yes. I think I will park it when the weather gets to snow this year though. I'll use the old trusty Dodge Stratus to trudge through that. I can't see the 300 plowing through snow.

See! Although we barely get enough to cover our shoe top, I still wouldn't chance it. Our bigger problem is black ice.
