the new chrysler 300 limo

[sunshinelimos]

JUST SEEING ANYONE EXPERIENCE WITH THIS CAR OR IF SOMEONE HAS ONE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY FEEDBACK ON THIS LIMO

[BirmLimo - Michael Birmingham]

I have a 140" black. It is wicked looking and gets all the attention , even over our Hummers.

It's nice getting $ 100 - $130 hour for a true 10 pak.

[BOSSLIMO]

I WOOD LIKE TO KNOW ALSO, Just starting out new company in aug /sept. buying all new thinking a hummer/ two 300,s in west coast of fl.

HOWS THE FRAME TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE HOLDING UP HOW ABOUT THE RIDE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY FEEDBACK

[Alimo]

All the ones I have seen so far in the U.K. have all needed to have replacement springs due to the low ride height as we have some pretty high rumble strips for traffic calming here, most get hit underneath when loaded. I assume that you don't have such a problem in the states ?

HI JUST ORDERED MY 140 CHRYSLER 300 WILL BE HERE IN END OF AUGUST THANKS FOR YOUR FEEDBACK

[ALLSTAR1]

We have had 2 Chryslers. NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS...
We had one tear out the driveshaft bec of a really bad design and when the driveshaft went it punctured the fuel tank, took out the exhaust system and just caused a big headache.
They were NOT designed to be a limo at all. We also experienced a bad problem with the front end. Try to get it aligned... Good luck.. I strongly recomend staying away from the Chryslers.. I cant express that enough from a liabilty standpoint.. I had psgrs in the car when the driveshaft let go and if the gas tank had caught a spark and exploded i probally would even be sitting here typing this.. Id be out of buisness.

HI DO YOU HAVE THE V6 MODEL OR THE HEMI MODEL I HEARD BAD THINGS ABOUT THE HEMI WITH DRIVESHAFT PROBLEMS

[David Merrill]

Just one thing to say: QVM/CMC

[ALLSTAR1]

Both had hemis

[ALLSTAR1]

I heard the ones without the hemis fell apart and didnt have enough horsepower to move them... They both were not QVM.. so again this really pushes the point to only buy QVm.
I only have one car not qvm and see what happened?

[sunshinelimos]

i have 2 non qvms limos and they havent gave me any problems compared to my qvm cars i guess i have been lucky. my builder told me to go with the v6 chrysler and not the hemi because of driveshaft problems plus the 300 hemi has alot of torque thats the main reason driveshaft problems lead foot drivers also i was told the v6 has the same horsepower as my town car does who built your chryslers

We have a Chrysler 300 that we have not had too many problems with. We did not get a hemi, because with the hemi we werent sure there would be enough room for a second alternator. We DID have to add springs to the back because it was way to low - I highly suggest that, especially with a 140.

Our Chrysler gets a ton of attention, but so does our Hummer - and we sell the Chrysler for $95/hr, and the Hummer for $140. We have MANY more problems with the Hummer than the Chrysler.

[BirmLimo - Michael Birmingham]

of course the suspension has to be changed , but so does the suspension on the hummers , escalades , etc. The 300 sits 4"lower than the TC from the factory , so it only stands to reason.

my 140" 300 with the hemi is awesome , no problems at all. the tourqe is only an issue when your chauffeurs are not trained right.

I have run chrysler sedans since 2001 and have 4 300 C sedans and one limo now. The 2nd limo gets built this winter.

our clients love them , and I get $ 130 an hour for my 10pak 300. Try doing that with a boring dated looking TC.

[ALLSTAR1]

they definatly are eye catchers thats why we bought 2 one blk one white.. the blk one we never put into use for us bec we had so many problems with the white one.. we are able to sell it at $85 hrly only when its not in the shop... Look how much the price dropped only after 1yr of production for the stretches the price has plumeted down why is that..hmmm bec they are crap.. we paid $ 75,000 for ours which at the time was a good deal thru a long term relationship with the builder.. they now are offering them at $62,000 one year later... thats a big diffrence not even considerig wear & tear. The builder in our case did step up to pay for the last nightmare.But after some serious considerations we have decided to take our loss and take these Chryslers out of our fleet, From a LIABILITY standpoint we do not want to take the risk of the drive shaft coming losse again and puncturing the gas tank which is located no more then 2" away from the driveshaft and possibly blowing up.. We only have 11,000 miles on ours and its just been a nightmare. Chrysler dose not honor any warranty on these vehicles bec they are not QVM.
The regular non strtched 300's with the hemi are awesome cars but they just were not designed with the thought that they would be stretched into a 140" 10 psgr limousine.
