To be honest is a good price, finding a mid 2000s vehicle with those miles is impressive. Right there you have a 2008 Chrysler 300C Heritage Edition, not sure on the production number but is a step up from the regular 300C. It has HID lamps, power folding mirrors, 7 Boston acoustic speakers and a sub, the seats are gorgeous and look really comfortable. If you can get it between $4500-5500 it is a bargain price.

Thanks- I seen the kbb price but wasn't sure if s particular year was any worse or better than others. I wasn't aware of the Heritage series upgrade. I'm taking $5500 with me & hope I'm driving that bad boy home Monday. I'll be on this site more often then. He said he has a bunch of 6.4 upgrades like cold air intake,manifolds but I have to read alot more- thanks for your input!To be honest is a good price, finding a mid 2000s vehicle with those miles is impressive.

The only down side I for that year is the heads, from 2005-2008 the 5.7 had the non eagle heads, they have an issue that could potentially destroy the engine. The problem itself is the valve seat drop, then the piston will start smacking the valve, damaging the heads, pistons or even the block. Swapping the heads to the eagle heads that came in 2009 and later will solve the problem. The previous owner did many upgrades, you should look for that or ask him if he/she knows anything about it.

That dropped valve seat issue was predominately with the 05-06's and a few 07's. I've never heard of an 08 dropping a valve seat. Chrysler finally wised up and fixed the problem.....inadequate press clearance between the aluminum head and the steel valve seat. Also, on the early ones, it was the intakes that failed the most and many were right after an overheat.
