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 5-Series

Price of the BMW 5-Series: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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
