I have a 2016 300 s AWD, owned 3 years now, still love it, may have a driveshaft issue, but it’s still a keeper, no other issues since I’ve owned it, has the the beat sound system, which is sounds awesome with Sirius xm radio. Smooth ride, comfortable, leather stitched interior, rear fold down seat, good gas mileage, plent of power, goes great at high speeds, remote start, with auto shut off after 10 minutes if you don’t drive away, blind spot monitoring, can’t lock the keys in the car by mistake, dial controls instead of all touch screen, heated seats, you can’t go wrong if you buy this car, even if something goes wrong it’s still a great ride.

The old mechanics and car resale guys swear by these. Not only is the reliability fairly good, they are cheap to repair.

Mines is a 2015 awd 300c with 337k miles it’s been holding up pretty good. I had to replace the water pump 4x oil filter module 2x and drive shaft 2 x and transmission seal 1x and headlight 3x, belt and tensioner 5x since I brought it with 27k it’s been holding up pretty good all original parts. I change all fluids every 4K to 45k miles. All original parts

I’m a big fan of Scotty, but i have a 2006 300 AWD that I bought in 2018 with 96, 000 miles and it still looks great and runs like a champ

Thanks you for the review bro ! I just got one and I love it looks classy, elegant and good for the family

Im about to purchase a 2014 300s with 119k miles for $12, 488 USD looks very clean with clean title what you think. It’s the Best price I could find in my area for a clean title 300s

I just bought a 2014 300 c with 87k on it. Has all the bells and whistles on it. I haven't got to drive it too much but so far I love the thing! It doesnt get the best gas mileage compared to my previous vehicles though (however, I am 20, and may or may not have a lead foot!). It is a very comfortable car for taller people (I am 6'1"). It has plenty of power when it needs to but it is by no means uncontrollable. The steering is smooth as all get out in the AWD version. Although the ride is mostly smooth, as the video said, it does have some issues with suspension, and is starting to show through. The Uconnect and the navigation system have yet to give me trouble (knock on wood). The only issue I have run into when it comes to electronics is the aux and USB the center console of the car. The randomly come and go in terms of working. Online forums have indicated to me that these issues are fairly common. Hopefully not too hard and/or expensive of a fix. All in all, I really enjoy the car thus far, and if the reliability ratings on this cars are true, then I would recommend buying one ! :)

Great review! I just bought a beautiful 2014 today got out of a 2006 Lincoln town car so I needed something just as big and this was it!

JUST bought a 2014 S with 121, 800 miles. Triple black, fully loaded except for rear electric privacy curtain. Absolutely gorgeous.

My 2015 Chrysler 200 3.6 has 157, 000 miles. Love it.

260, 000? Wow, that is a lot of miles! I have a 07 Charger R/T with just over 118, 000 on it and this has been my daily driver for the last 12 years since buying it nearly new with 11, 000 on it.
And like the 05 Chrysler 300 with the 5.7 hemi that you demo'd in your other video; yes, I can relate to the leaky valve cover gasket (though mine is on the driver's side). Overall a great car that has needed very little. In fact, the only thing that is not original to the car (besides the tires and front ball joints) is the battery that I just replaced at the 10 year mark. Even the radiator, alternator, and headlights are original.
Lastly, I have had to replace the AC blower motor twice! Yes, the original lasted about 9 years, and the replacement one from A-1 Auto lasted just under 2 years.
Didn't have any issue with the "tick" or the fuel tank recall.

Also, my power trunk release feature quit working about 2 years ago. Haven't made an effort to fix it, however, it most likely can be attributed to a broken wire where the harness comes out of the trunk lid. There is a video somewhere on YouTube showing how to fix it. Maybe I'll give it a go this summer.

The UConect issues are to my understanding a 2015+ issue. In 2015 they "upgraded" to a more app based UConnect, generally the UAQ radio. This sucker is one large expensive unit and prone to issues. 11-14 have a simpler more robust system where the screen is just a screen and the unit is separate. While they have a few less features they're far more robust and the few failures that do happen with the screen are easily fixed.

Toplineracer, are you still there? Thank you for this video information. I have my 2014 Chrysler 300 @ 83, 500 miles. Love it still. You mentioned something I have a question about?

[ruggerREL]

In the market for a new car a lot of my days have been search deals on dodge chargers and challengers and 300s. I’ve been a fan of the 300 since 2004 it’s such so stylish and comfy and big guy friendly.

I defiantly seen a few 300s sub100k miles for under $12k.

[wicked]

Awesome thanks for the review! Very informative through out and a good buy looks great inside and out with those high miles!

[BowersLA]

Just got a 2014 with 155k a few months ago, and love it. Gets good Gas, rides smooth and the little things that's wrong are easy fixes. Except that damn AC thing you mentioned where it gets Hot on one side and cool on the other. Camera situation I have to figure out as well.

[andrejones]

What would you recommend on a 2014 Chrysler 300 with 183, 000 miles ? I mean I want I just don’t want to regret it

[yolondasholar]

U are right I don't drive the 2014 that much but me actuator went out on the passenger side 2 weeks ago and I'm try in to get it fixed I bout mine in 2015 it was 6 months old..great car I really like it

[CarsSimplified]

That is in surprisingly good shape for that many miles!
No tripod? The camera was held well, but just curious if that was a creative decision.
