[Chrysler300] Re: c300 at Barrett-Jackson

["James" <jdelrae1@xxxxxxx>]

As for the price of the car I just think that is a reflection of our 
current economy.  Not sure if you noticed but the cars at this years 
B/J are nowhere near the type of cars there in the past.  No one is 
taking a chance on the "No reserve" selling style B/J requires.  I 
was very disapointed in the inventory this year and actually the 
whole event and shocked at the $45.00 entry 
fee.
