My bet is that Chrysler realized that teasing the 300 for the Detroit Motor Show wouldn’t be enough (and it isn’t) so they went ahead and rectified that situation.
So we now have a full press release on the 2011 Chrysler 300 ahead of its debut at the aforementioned motor show event.
We already know what’s going on in the engine compartment and Chrysler have no surprises for us there. So they explained in detail what happened to the styling and ergonomics front.
The new looks don’t differ by that much from the older brother 300C but some important changes have been made to it. What you’re more likely to see is the new grille and LED headlights but what will actually help you see is the repositioning of the windscreen. Being raked back by 3 inches will mean that visibility has been improved by about 15%.
Another plus point to the interior accommodations of the 2011 Chrysler 300 is the 8.5-inch LCD touchscreen that will handle all of your infotainment needs. Some of you may also be interested in the new dual-pane panoramic sunroof or the new big improvement as far as interior quality is concerned.
All in all, Chrysler seem to have hit the nail on the head with the 2011 300 but I’m a bit too bored of it right now to fake any interest. Can you?
The actual elahwsole value placed on the car by the dealer (they will almost NEVER tell you this number) will be within pocket change regardless of what dealership you go to. What really matters is your negotiating skills vs the sales staff’s skills. (They will win most of the time unless you are an experienced negotiator in your own right.) The next factor will be how much “wiggle room” exists in the vehicle that you are buying. If you are looking at a new compact at a Chrysler dealer and a new mid-sized Ford there will be more bargaining room at the Ford house so it may appear that they are offering you more on your trade. They really are not, they’re just shifting the numbers around to make it appear that way.The best way to buy a new car is to sell your old one privately for cash. You’ll ALWAYS get more money on a private sale than a dealer will allow elahwsole on a trade. If you insist on trading in, say for convenience sake, bargain on the new vehicle as if you were a cash buyer who is NOT trading in a car. Once you have a firm deal signed by management, bring up your trade. Don’t let them mess with the selling price on the new car after that point. What they are offering you on your trade is something close to the true elahwsole value. That number should be very close no matter what dealership you are at.Watch out for one trick that I’ve seen a lot of lately. Dealers will show you the Black Book elahwsole price and claim that that’s all that it’s worth. What they are showing you however is the pricing for vehicle AUCTIONS. Auction pricing is always less than elahwsole because the buyers are not permitted to do much more than look over the cars and listen to the engine running. They can’t drive them or put them on a lift for a close evaluation. Insist that they use the NADA elahwsole dealer guide pricing which will always be higher. That’s fair because they have had a chance to carefully inspect your car, unlike when they buy at auction.
