Replying to: hardhawk (Feb 06, 2005 2:29 pm) I just got my 300C AWD via the Costco program and got it on that pricing basis, which was much better than any other dealer was willing to do for me. I got the $1,000 rebate by borrowing the minimum required ($10K), but you can pay off the loan after 3 payments, so it's a pretty sweet deal.

Mark, I was shocked to see you on this forum. Interestingly enough, I am very interested in the 300C AWD, only one of which I can locate on Chrysler's web page for a 50 mile radius! I've driven the 2wd C, and liked it. Missed the ease of manually directing the shifting similar to Audi's version, and felt the caster was different, as the wheel didn't return to straight after turning a corner. In all fairness, the car had almost NO fuel, a dirty windshield, and I didn't get far enough from the dealer to really be sure it was warm. I will likely get out of my TT 3.2 DSG Roadster early, as the fun is overshadowed by the inconvenience of lack of storage, comfort for my spouses's tush, etc. I am actually disappointed I turned in my A6 early. I've put the car up on lease trader, but no action for a month. Probably because the payments for the next 14 months are about $770. Anyway, if the A6 has gone up that much, I'll probably go with the 300C, as the CTS seems small, and dated, and the STS seems too large, and way too expensive. Unfortunately, both the STS and 300C AWD are quite scarce now. It's good to see your name again, as I haven't browsed the forums for over a year. I lost your email address when I had a crash a month or so ago. HA! Hell of a note!! jk |

Audi is still on my short list. But the 300C and the Acura RL and even the Infiniti M's cannot be overlooked. Even the upcoming Bimmer 3 and 5 AWD's merit consideration. Audi is no longer alone, that is. The 300C AWD is quite the value -- and from reading, it is also quite the performer. |

It's funny how I got all excited when pricing out the A6 this morning. I've owned 5 911s, and don't remember that much excitement, considering luxury, appointments, performance, i.e., whole package!! Guess my old age is showing. I could keep the Audi on my short list, but may very well go with the 300C AWD. jk |

Hi All, I have been reading through this complete forum after having purchased my 300 in Nov/2004. Excellent discussion about this terrific vehicle. Even though I purchased the 300 with most of the available options I wondered whether it might be possible to upgrade the headlight system from standard to the H.I.D system that is available on the 300C. Has anyone considered this option or know if this is something practical to consider. Thanks to everyone for a terrific forum! kroache |

. . .it would be cheaper to trade your current car in on another one with Xenons rather than try to retrofit them to your current car. I do not know if this is LITERALLY true. However, I have been participating in these forms for years and years and whenever this question comes up, someone who knows the technical hurdles usually explains why this, although possible, is generally thought to be too expensive. Perhaps Chrysler has somehow managed to build this car in such a way that this is both possible and affordable. Good luck. I don't know if this feature was available or not, so this question is not meant to be impertinent: why would anyone get a brand new car without HID lights (if they were available)? If you have ever driven or ridden in a car with these lights, you certainly can attest to their efficacy -- heck, I'll go so far as to say, these lights could save your life. But, while I'm on my soapbox, why would anyone get a car without ESP (or stability control) if such technology was available on the car one was considering buying? The cost of these two technological marvels is relatively low and the very fact that it is NOT an overstatement to claim these features could save your life would seem to compel new car buyers to demand these features. |

. . .see our impressions of the new Infiniti M35x over on that board. Still couldn't drive a 300C AWD -- could've driven a non C AWD, decided to pass. |

I love the Black loaded 300C AWD I have a deposit on. I hate the fact that I couldn't get the dealer to move AT ALL off of the $40800 list price. Except for tossing in a remote starter I can't get any concessions. This is the only one I could find in a 50mile radius of Danbury, CT where I live. So... can owners reply w/reliability, concerns, issues, experience and recommendation? thanks! PS: lastly my 2nd choice right now is the Infiniti G35x |
