The 2005 Chrysler 300 for buyers
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2005 Chrysler 300 for sale by us right now. This page sets out the 2005 Chrysler 300 for buyers, in plain words.
What to check on the 300
NHTSA has 1,125 owner complaints on file, mostly about air bags, power train and electrical system. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
The numbers in plain words
The powertrain here is the 3.5L 6-cylinder with all-wheel drive and a 5-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
Plan on about 39 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 13.1 L/100 km. That works out to about $20.31 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,700 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
How big it is
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Luggage space is 680 litres, enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country.
Rent it for a week first
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Running costs
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $203.10 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Narrowing it down
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Want a price?
Ask us anything about renting before you buy.
Rent it for a week before you buy

Does CarmaCars sell the 2005 Chrysler 300?

Can I rent a 2005 Chrysler 300 before I buy one?
Yes. Request it for a week (or longer, up to 365 days) and drive it as your own; nothing is charged until we confirm and you approve.
Does the 2005 Chrysler 300 have recalls?
NHTSA lists 7 recall campaigns for it, in the table on this page. Ask for proof each was fixed.
What does the 2005 Chrysler 300 cost in fuel a year?
EPA puts it at US$3,700 a year for 15,000 miles at its fuel prices; at our price setting, 20,000 km cost about $4062.00.
Where do the figures come from?
Fuel use and fuel cost from the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), dimensions and weight from NHTSA vPIC Canadian specifications, recalls and complaints from NHTSA. We leave out any figure no free source publishes.
