What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Chrysler 300
| Price of the Chrysler 300: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic RWD |
Heavy discount from near-$40K sticker price as one might expect from a year-old "new" car still in dealer inventory. This fact, coupled with numerous factory incentives and low APR financing cinched the deal. In short, I bought $40K car for $30K. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic RWD |
With all the discounts available, the price was great. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 178-horsepower 2.7L V6 4-speed automatic RWD |
Low overall |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 340-horsepower 5.7L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Truly one of the best cars for the price. I purchased it when Mercedes owned Chrysler, so I got Mercedes-quality parts within a gorgeous American-designed body. |

| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.7L V6 4-speed automatic RWD |
A lease was higher than it should have been. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Car payments could have bought me a bimmer (BMW) |

| Price of the BMW 5-Series: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Better than the Lexus I was looking at for a much better handling and more luggage space vehicle. |
| Price of the BMW 5-Series: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Too expensive for what you get. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
for 60k the 5 series seems a bit pricy compared to what you can get from even an acura TL for instance. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
I paid cash, but they do not usually offer incentives on the 5 series. That may have changed in this economy but the 5 series has few incentives. |
| 2006 | 4dr Wagon 255-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Very expensive car 90K CDN or 60K USD new. Very pricey for a car. |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 5-speed manual RWD |
Compared to the implicit value of Genesis, BMW simply charges too much for what you get...$25K delta just not justifiable. |
| 2001 | 4dr Sedan 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
still a high payment |
| 2000 | 4dr Sedan 282-horsepower 4.4L V8 6-speed manual RWD |
Mostly about the depreciation - you will lose money |
