hail-hail

Was booked in to test drive the 300c on Saturday, quite looking forward to it.
However got a call on Saturday morning from the salesman.

"Sorry, but we have sold the demostrator that you were due to drive. We have no more cars available to test drive and no more due in until mid March"

"So how are you expecting to sell cars if people cannot test drive them"

"eeerrrrmmmmm, would you like me to phone you when we have one available"

"Don't bother, I'll go else where"

Is it just me or is this sales suicide, how on earth do they expect to sell cars. Chrysler are in the middle of a tv campaign now, surely a number of sales/leads would be generated form this. Yet this dealer deide to sell his only demonstrator......................strange.

A bird in the hand...

I may be wrong, but I rekon they would have the chance at a few more than one bird in the bush over the next 5 or so weeks....

Hail - Hail was that M****y ??

Nice cars, bit wallowy & the interior is cheap. Exterior is fantastic & the diesel pulls well.

brickboy

was in Kings of Stockport last week, they had more 300s (saloon & tourer) than you could shake a stick at. BIG car, nice interior too

Take it as a sign, buy a BMW.

How's the depreciation on that going

Andy M3

Are you just looking for change?

AudiLover

So you went to a chrysler dealership?

300c, makes you think of a bentley but drives like a thames barge floats on water.

Blueblaster

AudiLover, please explain how you know a 300c drives like a Thames barge floats on water?

Also please explain why you think a visit to a Chrysler dealership in search of a new car is funny.

AudiLover

1. They handle like a obese swine.
2. Its an american car company. We all know yanks cant make cars that are competent in a wide range of categories, instead of being mediocre at one, and poo at all the others. (the 300c is comfortable and thats the only thing its got going for it, oh and the price.)

Blueblaster

AudiLover, please expand on your verdict of the 300c's handling characteristics - having never ridden an obese swine I am unfamilar with the way they handle. Do you ride obese swine often?

Also, how do you know that the only redeeming features of the 300c are it's price and comfort? Have you extensively road tested one?

AudiLover

I was gonna get one, but got the E class instead

Blueblaster

I see. The E-Class is a very nice car. Did people laugh at you when you went to the Chrysler dealership to carry out your extensive test drive. You did go for a test drive, didn't you?

AudiLover

I did. I find the 300c to look very nice on the outside. Reminds me so much of a bentley which was the attraction. Disapointing drive though.

Blueblaster

I see. Thank you. So the 300c is a good value, comfortable car that is disappointing to drive. Please elaborate on your statement that in every other area it was "poo".

AudiLover

Interior poo, handling poo, economy poo, depreciation poo, build quality poo.

Blueblaster

Thank you.

AudiLover

Your welcome

I saw one parked up at night with dinky blue downlighters under the sills...
I think he was checking on his working girls or maybe awaiting a delivery of finest Columbian.

E-Class = 300c

Same thing is it not?

No........the 300c looks a lot better,and doesnt have incontinence seat option for its very very elderly owners..

AudiLover

The current e-class craps all over the 300c in every department.

The old e-class, on which the 300c gets its chassis from is also inferior in everyway. The yanks somehow managed to **** the chassis up giving the 300c a abysmal ride and handling.

Laughable, no wonder mercedes is selling chrysler

Laughable is only a statement you could make and keep your face straight.

You need to ask MrsD

She told me that she rides one on a regular basis
