Thinking of buying the 2012 Chrysler 300?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2012 Chrysler 300; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. For anyone shopping for the 2012 Chrysler 300, here are the facts that matter.
Recalls and complaints
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA lists 9 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Owners filed 441 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, air bags and power train; have those parts checked.
The numbers in plain words
It uses the 3.6L 6-cylinder and rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Fuel use is rated 10.3 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 31 litres. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $159.70. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,900 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Inside and out
As a large sedan, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. The trunk holds 453 litres by the EPA's count: a family's bags for a long weekend.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
A longer test drive
A week with the 300 answers more than any brochure. Try the 300 on your commute, then decide. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$2,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. 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.
Which one to look for
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
Make a request
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2012 Chrysler 300 from us first.
