Car financing: the 2001 Chrysler 300
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. 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. Here is what to know about the 2001 Chrysler 300 before buying one.
A buyer's checks
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. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Reading the spec sheet
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.
Fuel use is rated 12.4 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 37 litres. In energy, every 100 km costs about $19.22 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
When the 300 makes sense
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.
Room inside
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.
Rent it for a week first
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the 300 first, and buy only if it fits your life.
Which one to look for
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$3,550 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.
