magley64 Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 I'm definitely not a mopar guy, but this one is growing on me. 2010 Chrysler 300. Dropped her payment by $50.month vs. her old 03 buick rendezvous.Custom black halo/led/projector/HID tail lights and headlights to come (once i figure out what fits what) Metallic Paint sparkles in the sunlight.

Tonik Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Dropped her payment by $50.month vs. her old 03 buick rendezvous. And both will be paid off on the same date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted April 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) And both will be paid off on the same date? Oh no, but the interest rate is so much lower than the rendezvous, that it was a wash, even with the little bit they gave for the trade. Net, it added a few years to the loan... but it got rid of that minivan with car doors that proved to be unreliable (intermittent fuel pump issues, heater issues, and electrical gremlins).it got her a vehicle that was on her "wish list"it saved her $50 a month for a couple years.and gave her a warranty/roadside assistance/peace of mind.Got me out of mechanic duty for a while (at least on her vehicle)and while it's not an exciting car by my standards, it is rather comfy to ride in, and there is enough room in the back seat/trunk to take a nap on a long trip or after a night of drinking.

Bad324 Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) Nice! Always liked the look but since its a Chrysler product I could never bare to think of owning one. Are those things RWD? Edited April 2, 2014 by Bad324 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted April 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) Nice! Always liked the look but since its a Chrysler product I could never bare to think of owning one. Are those things RWD? Yup, rear wheel drive. Had a bit of fun in a snowy parking lot when we got it home sunday. Even got reprimanded by local PD, lol Edited April 2, 2014 by magley64 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 would look a lot nicer with some blacked out rims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted April 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 would look a lot nicer with some blacked out rims Yeah, gonna see about this come snow tire season... gotta buy a set of wheels for the snow tires anyway, so might use the aluminums for snows and buy a set of pretties for summer tires. either black or chrome or both...

magley64 Posted April 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) what size are the stockers? 18 I believe... Could be 17, haven't looked that closely. Edited April 2, 2014 by magley64 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 18 I believe... Could be 17, haven't looked that closely. I had 18" Blizzak's for my G35...they made a HUGE difference in winter drive ability but man were they expensive even with a discount I got from a family friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 18s and 19s look great, but tires are fucking stupid priced for those sizes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAC Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 would look a lot nicer with some blacked out rims And set you up for some nice mafia limousine gigs. As stated earlier, nice ride - but I will never own another Chrysler product. Last one was the wife's car as well. Dropped a tranny but was, thankfully, still in warranty.

Winterforce are $112 each with the studs installed. And set you up for some nice mafia limousine gigs. As stated earlier, nice ride - but I will never own another Chrysler product. Last one was the wife's car as well. Dropped a tranny but was, thankfully, still in warranty. Yeah, it's the mafia look that has it growing on me... and I do like how the paint sparkles.

redkow97 Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Which motor?2.7 or 3.5? (I think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokey Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Those are great cars, those and the Chargers have been HUGE sellers for Chrysler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 $147? That is awesome!I wonder with so many more cars and suvs having larger wheels standard now it helped being the price down on those. When I got them at discount they were $168/tire mounted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted April 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 215 65 17 is the stock tire size, and it's got the baby 6 cylinder. We'll probably buy the studded Winterforce and mount them up on the stock aluminum wheels, then look at New wheels or new wheels and tires next spring.

turnone Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I won't buy a Dodge product either with an auto tranny. Way too many issues and I remember going into the Kokomo transmission factory in the late 90's and it was the dirtiest auto plant I've ever been in. Rivaled foundry cleanliness (lack thereof). Quick research will show mass auto transmission failures during each decade with Chrysler Corp. there is a reason Mercedes sold for more than $20 Billion cheaper than they bought them. Not including all the money wasted. However, this is a nice car and deals can be had. Warranty is critical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I was going to argue with you and point out how bold of a statement that was, but then I remembered my wife's Neon. The 3-speed automatic grenaded at 68,000 miles, and I wasn't a fan of te wide ratios even when it was working correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
