Possibly a new 300C owner...

Hello all. I come under circumstances that are far from the best as I have my insurance companies "complimentary concierge" service shopping for a black RWD 300C for me as my Lotus Esprit was just totaled.

I've always been a fan of the 300's looks and after totaling my Esprit I though now would be a good time to go ahead and look into getting a 300. I'd love the SRT8 but it is just a tad out of my price range and the 300C will do just fine I think. As a matter of fact, the only thing I don't like about the 300's are the fact they aren't offered with a real manual transmission but I think I can get past that.

I'm looking forward to what the company comes up with and decided I'd get a head start and start learning more about the cars so that I know more about it when they find one for me.

Welcome to the forums! Sorry to hear about your car being totaled. However, I don't think you will regret getting a 300c. Don't worry about the transmission. You will have lots of fun using the 5 speed auto stick as many members consistently do.

Hope to hear more from you!
bruno

Hi, and welcome to the forum from Scotland. You will get loads of advice and help on this site. Just wish we were welcoming you under better circumstances. However you make no mention of personal injury so at least there is that. Enjoy being here.
Cheers John

Update: They have found one with 31k on it. I think he said Brilliant Black with pearl? Heated seats, power everything, 6 CD changer, steering wheel controls, and satellite radio.

I'm excited.

Brilliant Black Hemi, great color! Look around on the web for yourself if you can. You may find one with lower miles and in your price range. Autotrader.com usually gives you a good idea of what's available in your area, cars.com is ok too. Too bad about your Esprit, that's a fantastic car. It's going to be different in your Hemi 4 dr. sedan, a different kind of "more smiles with every mile".

Update: I am the proud owner of a 300 now. Though, it isn't quite what I was looking for originally (300C) I am very pleased. Pictures below...
