Chrysler 300M for Sale

Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Performance with room for the whole family, low price.

Cons

Automatic only, lacks key features, low-grade interior materials.

What’s new

For 2003, Chrysler introduces the option of a factory-installed Sirius Satellite Radio, a first for Chrysler vehicles. Other changes to the 2003 Chrysler 300M include an updated audio system that features a six-disc CD changer in place of the old four-disc unit.

Edmunds says

A big, brash American luxury sedan that can make time on a twisty road.

Love Hate Relationship (stay away from the special)

businessharmon, 01/17/2015

2003 Chrysler 300M Special 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

I bought this car in 2012 with 115,000 miles on it and Route 66 extended warranty. At first it was really fun to drive it handled great, sounded great really comfortable. In 2013 it had a Rod berring issue and the engine had to be replaced. It was replaced with a new engine with 80k mi. it lasted a year December 2014 with rod berring issues again. Replaced it again with 80k mi costing …

Chrysler is hit and miss, 300m is a hit!

mrnest, 05/29/2010

2003 Chrysler 300M Special 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

Purchased new in '03. Car has a bit over 100k on it now and has never had a single problem. Up to spec with most new cars in terms of power, handling, looks, overall enjoyability. Interior should be an upgrade from standard Chrysler fare for the 300m but is okay with the carbon fiber trim though. Car has plenty of power, interior room, great handling, and is stone cold reliable. The 18" …

Great car and at a great price

2003 Chrysler 300M Special 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

I have owned 2 of these cars over the years and my wife still has hers as well. They have generally been very reliable cars that handle well and stop on a dime. I have serious issues with some of the engine failure reports I read on this site since I drive my 300m very hard and have hit the 6500 rpm redline very often with no engine issues at all. I had over 135k on my first one and …

Worst car ever made and worst ever owned

2003 Chrysler 300M 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

There is only one brand that where there are actual websites dedicated to the hate of these vehicles and all things the terrible company makes. The exterior of this vehicle is fairly nice, and the interior is roomy and comfortable. That is the good. It chews up rotors and pads. The paint started coming off at 90,000 miles. I have replaced 7 crank shaft sensors, 5 cam shaft sensors, 1 A/C …
