I expect my factory ordered 300c this week

[BrilliantBlack]

Hi All: On 1/29/08 I ordered a 300C from the factory as configured here on the attachment from the Chrysler web site. I got the VIN from the dealer a couple of weeks ago # 2c3lk63h98h252496. I traded in the only foreign car I have ever owned towards it. The trade-in was a 2005 Subaru Baja Turbo. I traded a 2003 Chevy Avalanche for the Baja. The reason I got rid of the Avalanche was because the gas milage sucked and the other 4 cars I own are muscle cars and gulp the gas too. So I wanted at least one vehicle in my garage that got decent gas mileage and was good for getting around in harsh New England winters while heading up to the ski slopes, hence the Subaru. The Subara is very dependable and the AWD is really good resulting in a respectable machine but in the end I found it too small for my tastes. So my dilemma was what can I find that is big and comfortable, will get me to the ski slopes without a problem, is prefferably American made (no yuppie mobiles please), has balls and is good on gas (relatively speaking). I was very happy to have discovered the 300C AWD....perfect! What's really a nice touch is when one orders from Chrysler/Dodge the window sticker says "Especially made for"....and your name. I found this out, much to my pleasant surprise, when I took delivery of my 2000 Dodge Viper RT/10. I can see this 300 club is very active much the same as is the Viper Club of America. This is very good and I can tell I will enjoy being a member of this club. Best regards, Mike

Congrats Mike!!! I bet I know how you're feeling right about now too. Putting in time here and all the while thinking where's my damn car...haha!!! In less than a month it'll be 3 years for me and I can still remember the waiting game.

Make sure to post pics as soon as you can.

Hi Rambit: I've had dogs all my life. Lucy, my latest, just died at 17 years old. I met her at the dog pound when she was about 6 months old. Sure will miss her. Mike

Hi and welcome to the forum from Scotland. You will be champing at the bit waiting on your new car arriving and it is certainly nicely spec'd. Compared to the UK your purchase price looks very good. We can't get the AWD over here but we do get the diesel version utilising the Mercedes 3 litre engine. So we get economy but with loads of power. You will find that you tend to drive about with a big grin on your face - we all do anyway. Says a lot for the car. On the other subject it is never nice to loose a loved pet be it bird, dog or anything else. Sorry to hear about your loss.
Cheers John

WELCOME from our West Virginia LXs in the Mid-Ohio River Valley! Good luck with your AWD 300C. I think you're going to love it!

Welcome from Indy: Great color choice IMO and the AWD will come in handy.

It will just make it a bit harder to swing that tail out when you want to

Thanks for the warm welcome from you in the states and those across the big pond. Mike
