West Virginia Chrysler Car Dealers

Magnums are not considered "cars" per se. It's a UTV or SUV or "truck" for that matter. That's why the MSRT8 is exempt from the ridiculous "gas guzzle" tax that unnecessarily drag on the 300 SRT8 and Charger SRT8 sales. Yet, I just got repetitive 22 mpg on the highway over a 2800 mile vacation in our MSRT8 carrying 4 adults, a baby, and all the baby's parents "stuff" (stroller, nursing donut, pillows, car seat, etc! That's real-life mileage 1 mpg better thant the EPA rated estimate. I AIN'T complaining one bit! I don't mind at all having two fairly unique vehicles!

If you're buying a car worried about depreciation, then don't bother buying a car. They are drop as soon as you taken them off the lot. Buy the car because it appeals to you... is fun and comfortable to drive... NOT as any kind of investment. As far as I'm concerned for a 300C (or even and SRT8) you shouldn't pay anything over invoice. It should be invoice or under, somtimes well under, depending on incentives. But, depending on the size of the dealer and your local market you "may" get the story of $500 over invoice. That's the typical story given by my local dealers in our small market town. If you can get that '06 300C with 19k miles for around $24k I'd consider that a very good deal. Dealer auction price is more like $22-23k. More likely the lot is asking something like $27k or more and they will never get that.

This is second hand, but an H.E. owner over at 300Cforums.com just queried DCX Customer Assist about the production number of Heritage Editions... and got and ANSWER! The number... 4615 in the U.S. I've heard there were H.E.'s in Canada also, but at least we have a bonafide number for the U.S. So if you have one of these outstanding cars enjoying, and it keep! Also please post to my Heritage Edition Build Sequence thread over at 3CF. Sorry cm3, but I think your troubles were more from having a VERY early build 300 - probably pre-June 2004 build date?)... I had no trouble with my June-2004 built 2005 pre-owned 300C, and no problem with my new 2006 H.E. (15k miles in 12 mo) and now no problems (in the first two months of ownership) of my 2007 Magnum SRT8. I traded the '04 build 300C for it because I got the trade price I wanted ($22k) and a purchase price $10k under the MSRT8 sticker!

Just got an email from Chrysler "Chrysler Update-Chrysler's Future Inspired" in which the cover text concerns the Nassau concept. But at the bottom is a little blurb about: "Showcasing Our Rich Heritage … Edition The 2007 Chrysler 300C Heritage Edition unveiled at the NAIAS features: * Powerful 5.7-liter 340 horsepower HEMI® V8 engine * SRT-style performance seats * All chrome grille * Supplemental signal mirrors with puddle lamps * Berber floor mats * Special tribute badging Doesn't sound any different than the '06 version... just somewhat disappointed to find out that the original run WASN'T the only run! Wonder how many they're going to make this time... and not number them... again. No info on available colors.

Here's what another 300Cforum member put on their CV H.E. Eventually I think I will do the same.
