Found a new one (black) for sale on the ground in the Boston area...the guy who ordered it backed out (his wife didn't like it) and I scooped it for 5K over without hesitation. I've had 2 300's (2014 and 2017) and I just love these cars.

I was lucky enough to be on YouTube when Chrysler did this reveal in September of '22... and I was able to reserve one. Just picked it up here Monday the 10th of July. LUV it. Friggin' LUV it. It's my 5th Hemi but first in 392 form (the other 4 were 5.7's). I really dig that it's a sleeper. The quality of the interior is excellent. And the suspension feels pretty amazing. All for $10K less than a Charger equivalent (I think I have those numbers correct).

Man they announced this a week after I bought my loaded AWD Touring L. I was so tempted to order one of these anyway, only about $8000 more than what I got. Unfortunately I needed to go with practicality over fun. For my purposes, what I got is better, but I think you're right that the 300C is a great deal and will hold it's value.

I missed out on the preorder, but when I found one a couple of states over I bought it. Flew down and drove it home. What a car, rides great, so much power. I have two Caddy's(STS/XLR) and think this ride and handling is better.
Yesterday while getting on the Turnpike a AMG C63 tried showing off thinking I was a regular 300. I put his car to shame from the toll booth to the main roadway. All he could do was acknowledge with a wave and the mere shock of a chrysler 300c beating his AMG. Yes I have few more horses, but car is bigger and heavier! Either way I love it. Glad I found a dealership willing to not take advantage. Local dealers asking 10 to 15k over sticker.

The fact that they only made 2000 for the states was crazy when so many of us 300c owners were not given the opportunity to get one.That’s the really sad part.😔

I too ordered one back in September of 22 and just picked mine up of the 5th of July. My local dealer even gave me 1k off of the msrp. I purchase a lot of cars from them. Next on my list is a lunar edition trx should arrive in a few weeks. I can wait for this one.

[ryanalan]

Man I envy you ben hardy, you get to smell that new car smell every day 🫠

[danschwartz]

I got mine on July 7, but have driven it much yet. Got some PPF added to entite front end and have only taken it out a few times but love it already. My Ram 1500 seems to be put together better with tighter fitments, refinement and quality materials. I guess Ram put a lot more into the redesign in 2919 an it shows. Time will tell how this 300c holds up.

[mattmechanic]

Yup definitely agree, these will appreciate in value.

[jblack]

I got mine for 4K under the MSRP. Brand new with 400 miles (Person who ordered backed out)

[dmvbenz]

I always loved the look of the Chrysler 300, I’d buy one but I love my new truck and I need a truck

[LlyleHunter]

I wish they’d also make a final edition Platinum Touring Edition as well with all of its brushed open pore wood and stitched leather seats. It was a major interior upgrade

The dial-shifter and cheap, minimalist interior of the 300 really killed it. Great platform that was horribly mismanaged by FCA.

11:22 Let me clear you up here

We haven't seen a 6.4L HEMI V8 in the Chrysler 300 since the 2014 Model Year SRT here in the United States and Canada, mind you the first model year of the 6.4L HEMI SRT8 Chrysler 300 was 2012

The 2012-2014 Chrysler 300 SRT8 is the Second Generation and Successor of the First Generation 2005-2010 Chrysler 300C SRT8 with the 6.1L HEMI V8 rated at 425 Horsepower, and 420 LB-FT of Torque

The 2012-2014 Chrysler 300 SRT8's Horsepower rating was 470 Horsepower and 470 LBFT of Torque, same rating as you will find in the Jeep Wrangler 392

The 2012-2014 Chrysler 300 SRT8 was sadly discontinued here in the United States and Canada after the 2014 model year

For 2015-2021 Outside the United States and Canada, Chrysler has been building the Second Generation FACELIFT SRT Models with newly designed front and rear Fascia and Taillights, slightly refreshed interior, and an upgrade ZF 8 Speed 8HP70 Automatic Transmission with a 3.09 LSD, it also had the same 6.4L HEMI V8 Engine that was producing 485 Horsepower and 475 LBFT of Torque

It was later discontinued after the 2021 model year, which means Chrysler has officially retired and defunct the SRT nameplate on the Chrysler 300

The 2023 Chrysler 300C is now the Successor car, and a direct copy of the 2015-2021 Chrysler 300 SRT Export Models found in Australia, New Zealand, and the Middle Eastern Countries

The 2023 Chrysler 300C has every SRT Exclusive feature that the 2015-2021 Export SRT's had such as Genuine SRT Laguna Leather Seats, Leather Wrapped Instrument Panel and Door Panels with white contrast stitching, Carbon Fiber Accents, Heated and Cooled Cupholders, and Adaptive SRT Suspension

All 2023 Chrysler 300C's come pre-optioned with EVERYTHING, this means all 2, 200 Units will come fully loaded

Nice to see that some idiot already when to 87mph on that new engine with only 19 miles on the odometer. The break-in for that engine asks that you don't even take it over 50mph for the first 100 miles!

[Microsoft_]

They need to update that interior. It's the same FCA style interior they have kept since 2015. It needs a major update. That would be the final touch to the car.

[Squidward_Tikiland]

It’s so big, it should be an suv. It’s a big heavy “luxury” looking thing. Just put that powertrain in a full size, body on frame suv, tune it for truck, that’s all she wrote.

[wiilli]

Last HOORAH for a great model. 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 Go big on its way out.
I would grab one to store. Great video as always. 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

[jeffreyzabawski]

You have to remember the DNA for a Chrylser 300 was Muscle/ Luxury.

[brianheffernan]

Good video, Ben. Who makes the transmissions for these cars?
