300 C versus 300F, and values are?

[John Hertog <crossram@xxxx>]

Hi Owen ,

Puzzled by your remarks. 300C worth ten times the value of a 300F ? not...

If we are just talking about current book value and market worth,
historically 300F's have done a little better than 300C's. Here are some
current price guide values for excellent condition cars; they seem pretty
accurate to me based on what I have been seeing. There are of course many
variable that affect value, such as color, options, history and
documentation.

NADA , April 2002
Chrysler 300C Chrysler 300F
Convertible : $ 62700 $ 76300
Hardtop : $ 32600 $ 37900

Old Car Price Guide, 12/00
Chrysler 300C Chrysler 300F
Convertible $48000 $ 60000
Hardtop $ 39000 $ 48000

As far as 300C's driving ten times better than a 300F, think again. Having
driven both, I'd call them comparable with actually very little difference
in overall driving / handling / comfort. Sure, there are some subtle
differences, but the overall picture is quite the same - a big, powerful,
well-sprung road car.


As far as which of the two is the "best" - hey, it's all in the eyes of the
beholder ! Personally, I really don't care what they are worth to other
people. I just love them, and would still own what I own even if they were
worth nothing.
