The 2008 Chrysler 300 for buyers
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2008 Chrysler 300 for sale by us right now. Thinking about the 2008 Chrysler 300? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
What to check on the 300
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. There are 4 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
Engine and fuel
It is powered by the 3.5L 6-cylinder, with all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
The combined figure, 13.1 L/100 km, means roughly 39 litres for 300 km. Every 100 km costs about $20.31 in fuel at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the 300
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size.
What to expect from the 300
As a large sedan, it is easy to drive and park in the city. At 510 litres, the trunk fits a family's bags for a long weekend.
Rent it for a week first
If the 300 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Drive the 300 on your commute before you commit to it. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Choosing the right one
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$3,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
