I'm not a big Dodge/Chrysler fan, but the 300C is a pretty damn nice ride. It's basically a previous-gen E class Benz chassis/suspension/transmission with a Hemi motor for low $30's, or even less with good discounts.

I haven't heard about any reliability problems with these cars!?!?

well in my boat.. anything with an SRT-8 motor is a sweet ride

even if it is ugly!

Vader, you failed to mention what kind of Dodge it was.

Stratus RT coupe. The dodge version of the mitsu eclipse.

And I actually PAID I think $21 or so for it and got $7400 so it was 65% depreciation, a little better but not great

Jusst found this on CNN Money, (although source is CR which I sometimes have my issues with.)

http://money.cnn.com/popups/2006/autos/reliable/3.html

Chrysler 300 V8 are second worst reliability in the large car segment.

Quite a difference in cars, are you sure you want to go from something entirely sporty to a sedan with just raw power? A more logical choice for a sedan would be something more performance oriented. Other than needing more room what else are you looking for in a car? Why the 300c?

Almost, the chassis is actually 100% Chrysler. The suspension subframes are E-class. The V8 transmissions are MB but the V6 boxes were/are Chrysler (that might have changed). There really is a lot more domestic engineering in that car than one might think.

To the original poster,
Rather than listen to CR I would check to see what the owners say. Some things that go wrong are easy to fix or work around. Others are big deals. CR just doesn't have enough information to really let you know what the problems are and if they are something you don't want to deal with.
