Re: [Chrysler300] driving a 300 C versus 300F, and values are?

["Owen & Jo Grigg" <ram300@xxxx>]

The C's would be worth at least 10 times the $ amount of an F and drive at
least 10 times better.

Owen ( owner of two 300C's and yet to drive or own an F ;-)

...... Please, please no hate mail from F owners.
