Default Farewell

Well guys the time has come for me to get rid of my xB. I'm picking up my 300 C (yeah it's got a hemi!) next week and I'm trading it in. I know my pocket will take a hit from the gas alone never mind the hefty car payment but I have out grown my xB and need something more grown up. I'll still be checking the site for the latest ROTM and checking in with the group.

I have some things I'm parting out of so take a look at the classifieds for rims, amps, speakerboxes, etc.


Take care,
Matt

Good luck with the 300C.
Are you planning on adding anything to it?

I know if I had one of those, tinted windows, a grille and some 20" rims would go on that bad boy.

Default 300c

I was looking at the SRT8 but it's a little to much money. It's a fantastic car but I decided that hte 5.7 Hemi will be powerful enough, especially coming from my xB. I already have a E&G Grille for it, I'm planning on doing a full Hotchkis suspension once the cruel winter is over along with 22" Jesse James wheels. I might do a video system but the factory stereo is really nice, it comes with a sub and a Boston Acoustics amp. It's a great car but I will miss my little box.

I really hope that you're smoking something, the Charger is nice but... Have you ever compared the cars side by side? You should and you'll have a completely different opinion.

I have a couple friends with 300s. One has a base model and one has the C. Talk about a difference between driving the two! Regardless, I love their slab of beef body style! hahaa

300C is a fake Bentley. We call them Fentleys around here for short. Enjoy the new ride.

It's a Chrysler. He'd better be adding an extended warranty.

Be sure and post back in a couple years when the interior trim is ratteling , the front end needs work, and you have rough idle. They look good but there is no comparison in quality between Chrysler to Toyota. Good luck just the same.

Drive what makes you happy and stays out of the shop! Best of luck with the 300.

I'll actually be trading in my Mazda3 Hatch for a Charger or 300C towards the end of next year. Don't think I can give up the tC though
