Concerned about high mileage on used 2011 Chrysler 300c?

Asked by Michael Nov 17, 2017 at 07:59 PM about the 2011 Chrysler 300 C AWD

Question type: Shopping & Pricing

Buying a 2011 Chrysler 300C. Mileage: 158,606. Price $8,990. I just don't
want to make an investment, with monthly payments, and insurance and regret
my choice if the car doesn't hold up over the next 3-5 years. I would like to add
another 100,000 miles on it.

9k + nearly 160,000 miles and your going to add another 100,000 miles to be total 260,000 miles. It is at a point already to need extensive work to reach another 100,000 miles, no matter how well its cleaned up. I would pass on it.

You could lease a nice loaded new car 3 years for 9k or there about, or I saw smaller Nissian trucks for lease for $129 month, ad did not say how long or details but its cheaper than 9k..

BTW, I am not a huge fan of leasing but it was just a possibility to keep from having to do major over-hauls or costly repairs. Yea the car is nice on the inside and does not look too bad either, but there is common problems with these models that affect cooling and gaskets, that I would be very weary of investing 9k into a 160,000 mile car. It is 7 years old. If you had issues with it there will be little trade-in or re-sale value.

The 300's don't seem to hold up at all well. That's excessive mileage for that price. An older car with much lower mileage is a much better choice in this case, or as enginecreator suggests, lease something. I have a friend who is an exceptional mechanic and he leases his daily driver.

Yea, 100,000 miles in three years is hard on a new car. It would do in most 7 year old cars.

I would say this, a 5-7 year old Toyota Tundra would put up with that kind of mileage with little work and likely only maintenance. As-well as Honds civic's. Toyota Corolla's.

But with the front wheel drive cars the higher the miles the closer you get to having to put in new C/V axles & wheel bearings, And if needed new engines and transmissions are more costly to install in those front wheel drives, but a Tundra in 2wd and rwd is better option if higher miles are already on it, and they are nice on the inside and look good too.

Also my f150 went to 225k miles before it needed any real work other than fluid changes and tires and brakes, and that was a water-pump, still worked, it dripped coolant so I replaced.

The reason I bought my f150 is because it was the basic service truck at that time and I had the option to up-grade the paint, interior, wheels, stereo system. The service truck/cars that have a year or two to work out bugs before you buy one of them have a greater reliability in many cases, Now I am not saying go buy a Dodge Charger cause the police use them. But the service truck/cars the companies use that rely on them everyday to work and do not have a shop fixing them everyday to keep them running on taxes. You have to do your homework.

Getting ready to purchase at 2010 Chrysler 300 for 4,500 at 91,000 miles is it worth it.
