Luxury features for an older model.
Very comfortable. Runs well for age. Had engine replaced in the past five years. Requires some maintenance once every other month. Lots of cabin/trunk space.

My Chrysler 300m is a Cadillac of Chryslers.
I really enjoy the car. I bought it used and it has its little problems like any used cars.However, the car seat warmers, horn and etc. I haven't figured out the fuses on yet. When the oil and transmission fluid is clean the motor runs wonderfully. It also gets great mpg.

It has heated leather seats that keep me warm in the winter.
The air conditioning is messing up now, but other than that, it is a solid machine. I have tried to take extra good care since it is older, and expect it to last a while.

Car review of 2001 300M.
My 2001 Chrysler 300M has been a reliable vehicle. Minor issues over the years however it runs great even at well over 178,000 miles. Only major repairs needed over the past 12 months has been gas filler neck, ball joints, brakes, rotors, and tires.

After 17 years, the car still drives like a champ.
The car is highly dependable, it feels safe when you drive it due to its sturdy and hefty build. It does great on both city streets and highways and achieves acceptable gas mileage. I take issue with its massive turn radius, and the accelerated rate at which it burns through brake pads.

Gas guzzling, high maintenance
I bought it used from a couple who said it was in excellent condition. Within a few months, small things started breaking. Air conditioning quit working, tie rods broke, brakes needed replacing, tires needed replacing, oil pan needed replacing. Now the motor on the window broke, so need to replace that!

The safety features and reliability.
I do not like the car because its like driving a bus. It's very nice and very comfortable inside but way to large. Nice family car.
accountCircle Jesse K
It is difficult to start. You need to turn the battery on first and wait before turning it all the way
It leaks fluid and constantly needs to be jumped. Has good gas mileage
accountCircle Mike H
Its long. Its burns gas so that will be a lot of money spent. The handling is pretty great though.
It runs pretty good. It also rides well and has comfortable seats. THe car itself is kind of long.

Inner Workings of a Pre Owned Chrysler
I am having problems with my transition cable at the moment, never had that problem before. It may be because of the amount of miles that I now have. I hear that Chrysler's do good up until a certain mile. Or, it may have been from all the debris and limbs left in the wake of Hurricane Florence. There was actually a branch under my car.

Pros & cons of an older Chrysler 300m.
Since I purchased this vehicle, the clock on the dash stopped working & now the ac isn't working. Thank goodness we're going into cooler weather. The heater does work. The driver window doesn't work consistently. I do love how big the trunk is & that 4 people can ride in it comfortably.

Powertrain control module
The powertrain control module is throwing a code and to make my digital readout accurate for my mpg I have to reset the computer

Is The 2001 Chrysler 300M A Good Value?

When I bought it brand new it was 50,000 dollars. It has served me well, but due to the age, it is time for a new car
