What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Chrysler 300

Price of the Chrysler 300: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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.
Price of the Chrysler 300: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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)

What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the BMW 1-Series

Price of the BMW 1-Series: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 2dr Coupe turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 I pay $180 less a month on this lease than my previous MINI Cooper.
2008 2dr Coupe turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6
6-speed manual RWD		 The price is good forwhat you get.
Price of the BMW 1-Series: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 2dr Coupe turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6
6-speed manual RWD		 The standard features are lacking. Many cars costing half as much have more features than the 1-series. You can get better equipped cars for the same money with Infiniti (G37S) and Audi (TT-S, S4).
2008 2dr Convertible 230-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Pricey, especially for convertible compared to coupe. Cost of auto-transmission silly compared to manuals -- and other autos. Early examples not offered with much discount from MSRP.
2008 2dr Coupe turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6
6-speed manual RWD		 When you add enough options you are approaching 3 series territory but still worth it
2008 2dr Coupe 230-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed manual RWD		 Not cheap compared to Accord, Altima, etc.
