Car financing: the 2005 Chrysler 300
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2005 Chrysler 300 for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Thinking about the 2005 Chrysler 300? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
A buyer's checks
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. There are 7 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. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
Reading the spec sheet
It is powered by the 3.5L 6-cylinder, with all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
Rated at 13.1 L/100 km combined, it needs around 39 litres for a 300 km round trip. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $60.93 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,700 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who the 300 suits
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Room inside
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. With 680 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Drive it on your own roads
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the 300 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Drive the 300 on your commute before you commit to it.
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. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
The cost of driving it
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$3,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $203.10 at our price setting.
