Chrysler 300C Review

This rather stately vehicle manages to look both solid and, if not exactly graceful, then distinguished and dignified. You can think for a moment that you’re looking at a Bentley or a Bristol, and it gives you a gloriously majestic cruise along the motorway. It is generously spacious with a massive boot and luxurious leg space all round, although children may find the relatively ‘high-up’ windows difficult to peer out of (which might lead to a little car sickness). There is, however, a downside to all this cabin space – it’s a huge car and can be a nightmare to park in confined, city settings. Multi-storey car parks may well have you breaking out in beads of sweat as you try not to scrape the paintwork.

The Chrysler 300C comes with three engine types – the 3.5 litre, 249 bhp V6 petrol, the 3.0CRD 218 bhp V6 diesel, and the monster 6.1 litre, 425 bhp V8. Of the V6s, the diesel model delivers better acceleration: 0-62 mph in 7.6 seconds compared to the petrol version’s 9 seconds (the V8 takes only 5 seconds). The diesel also yields appreciably more miles per gallon the petrol cars (35 mpg compared to the petrol V6’s 25 mpg; eye-wateringly, the V8’s mpg does not get beyond the teens). The diesel is also less heavily penalised in tax than the two petrol models. If you wish to combine comfort and good handling with a dash of regality, the 300C could well be the car for you.

Chrysler Finance has designed different financial schemes to meet the needs of drivers. The company can offer the best possible solution for you to have a new or used car. It offers two options to choose from if you prefer to lease a car: Operating Lease and Finance Lease.

If you choose an Operating Lease, your car will be leased to you for a specified period. The monthly payments will be computed based on the difference of the actual value of the car and its residual value; and finance charges are also included. At the end of your lease period, the car is returned to the company and will leave you free from further obligations. Choosing this option will eliminate capital expense with the use of the vehicle; improve cash flow due to fixed and reduced monthly rentals; and monthly rentals are allowable against taxable profits.

If you prefer a Finance Lease, your car will be leased to you for a specified period, as well. After you pay the final monthly payment, the car may be sold to a third party. The monthly payments are inclusive of VAT, which can be recovered if you’re VAT registered. There are three options offered to you after the lease agreement period: (1) Extend the use of your car for 12 months; however, this option may be exercised only once. (2) Sell the car to a third party for a reasonable market price and 95% of the total sale price will be given to you. (3) Return the car to Chrysler and they will sell it. You’ll get 95% of the sale price; however, collection and auction fees will be deducted.

Leasing a Chrysler car allows you to make low monthly payments and gives you a chance to get your money back after you sell your leased car.
