Thinking of buying the 2001 Chrysler 300?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2001 Chrysler 300 for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page puts the 2001 Chrysler 300 in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
A buyer's checks
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
What the figures tell you
It runs the 3.5L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
It is rated at 12.4 L/100 km combined, so budget about 37 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $192.20. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles.
Size and space
As a large sedan, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. The EPA lists 481 litres for luggage, roughly a family's bags for a long weekend.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Rent it for a week first
A test week in the 300 tells you more than any review. Try the 300 on your commute, then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the 300 answers the big questions.
What it costs to run
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $19.22 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,550 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.
Picking a year and a trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
One more step
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
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 2001 Chrysler 300 from us first.
