Bought a NEW car.....come take a look!

Check it out........and before you ask, NO it doesn't have a Hemi












-------------------------------

It has all the creature comforts of my CL, the 3.5L 250HP V6, and it was 29k OTD.

What do you guys think? (And yes I still have the CL)

Eh...not a big fan of the 300s. But if you like it, that's all that matters.

Well, it's the "family" car, I'll probably be driving it to school most days, and I'll have my CL for the weekends. And yes we made a decision, because I did my research and didn't feel like I needed to ask you guys. I suggested it, my parents liked it, and that was it.

Well first of all it's college, second of all they wanted something safe to drive in, my CL has 112k miles on it.

And as for the wheels the first mod will be some 20"+ rims. Right now I'm looking at the 21" Giovanna Dramas.

Minch, I just cant believe you spent 29k on that car and bought that color, and would consider driving that to school instead of your cl, thats all, we all got opinions, i cant express mine?

THey wanted 2k over sticker for Hemi, and they wouldn't deal so to them.


Renegade, I happen to like the color, and the 300 is on par with my CL (I have a 1st Gen btw). I have no problem with you opinion it's the way you presented it that offended me.

Eazy E, the TL was too expensive for right now.

Im going to UF this year, and my really good buddy is going to UCF, so ill be taking some roadtrips to orlando....you may have seen him before, drives a G35 sedan with tint and is dropped with borla exhaust, he will soon have rims and tires so it would be easier for you to tell. But in any matter where the hell are you going to college, you may not be around

Minch watch out for the kid with the G35 sedan black, Im sure no one else at UCF will prob have it with the borla exhaust and drop....by the way when I went to UCF lately, the peoples car were shitty as hell, be careful bringing the 300m as the g35 has been clipped in the bumper lightly, and has been keyed

Everyone will get white or black.......and I love to be different


Plus, I already have a black car (my CL) and the white color I didn't care for.

Great car in my opinion, minus the back. I don't know how it compares to your 1st gen in terms of power/quality, etc, but it sounds like you're enjoying it... so big ups to you, my friend.

Very nice! Good luck with the car. Don't mind the people don't like it. I'm glad you did what makes you and your parents happy. I personally love the 300m.

I also like the color. Reminds me of the Brickyard color once available on the 350Z.

Minch, it's your parents right? Just curious to why you make it sound like it's yours...

"i'm not going to bag it".

I'm not knocking, cool car. Just amused you make it out to be yours... I assume your the reason they bought it.

Curious how a 18yr old could afford 22's and bags/install anyway...

Jus messin with ya, I too want one

Good choice, fug what everyone else says. You may loose on the quality. But you do get the fun of rear wheel drive. The rims are a must but the thing that has always bugged me about this car is the front grill. The first time I saw it I said that is damn nice but some one needs to come out with an aftermarket grill that will really pimp it out. Sure enough I saw one for the first time yesterday with a clean azz grill that really completed the car. So look into the grill too!
