How Much Does That 300C In The Window Cost

The title is a attempt at humor a play on a old song, How Much Is That Doggy in the Window. Anyway a interesting conversation going on over at 300cforumz on the relative cost of a 300C SRT8 depending on which country you buy it in. They say a Chrysler 300c SRT8 in the Netherlands cost is $124.000, in Canada it's MSRP $52,695 and here in the US it's $41,585. Guess you are better buying it here even with the exchange rates right now.

CHRYSLER 300C SURPRISES UK RESIDUAL VALUE EXPERTS

From the UK we learn that residual value experts have confirmed that the 300C has been a massive residual value success story. Martin Ward, Manufacturer Relationship Manager for CAP, said: “A two year old diesel Chrysler 300C with 30,000 miles on the clock is today worth an impressive 67 per cent of the £25,750 it cost when new. In contrast, a BMW 525D of a similar age that cost £31,115 in 2005 is currently worth £19,300 – that’s 62 per cent retained value.Martin Ward added: “It has been a big surprise to the industry just how well the 300C has sold in the UK, and more importantly how well it has held on to its value. All previous large American designed and built cars have not performed anywhere near as well. The 300C styling has hit the spot with both new and used customers and even two years after its launch it is still attracting attention. The bold design is set to appeal to used car buyers for some years to come.” I could have told you that.

Chrysler 300C+Headers+Nitrous

Does this sound like you ?
Your Chrysler 300C, Dodge Magnum or Dodge Charger must be even more powerful than it is.
Belief that rear drive and big Hemi power will always be a winner.
The fact that you can never have to much power.
The path to more power is long tube headers and a nitrous set up.

Rental Chrysler 300C Burnout

This is a rented Chrysler 300C working the hemi. It is a pretty intense burnout. There can't be much rubber left on the tires. When I found this on youtube there were quite a number of videos of different rentals where people seemed to have rented them to do burnouts, drive in reverse then shift into drive and other assorted tricks

Dodge Magnum On Chopping Block

Chrysler LLC, fresh off of the recent ratification of its labor contract with the UAW, has announced cuts to its hourly and salaried workforce, along with the official announcement of the elimination of a number of models from its lineup. Maybe if there were no lime green Dodge Magums the pruning wouldn't have included the Dodge Magnum. Well I guess not,as this one is pretty cool. So as MotorTrend.com said "Let the bloodletting begin". The 300C at least is not on the block.
