Staying current with the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule and ensuring you address major services and routine oil changes on time will help your Chrysler 300 remain dependable. Designed to provide a lifespan of around 200,000 miles, these vehicles can last a long time with proper care. To extend the longevity of your car, it's crucial not to overlook warning indicators such as gauges, lights, or alerts. Disregarding these signals could lead to being stranded roadside or causing significant and costly damage if you continue driving. Regularly monitoring and replenishing fluids, replacing air filters, and inspecting and rotating tires are also key steps to maintain the car's health.

    My 2005 Chrysler is still running smoothly, just like the day I drove it off the showroom floor with zero miles. I've only had to keep up with regular oil changes over the years. It currently has 247,000 miles on the clock and still performs as good as new. I'm curious about its current value - any ideas how much it's worth now?

    I own a Chrysler 300C with a 5.7 Hemi engine. I recently replaced both the battery and alternator because my car was having trouble staying running. It still cranks but won't stay running. What else could be causing this issue with my car?

    I drive a 2001 Chrysler 300m that's going strong with over 306,543 miles on it.

  • Reginald J

    Raymond is definitely telling the truth. I have a 300c that I bought brand new in September of 2005, even though it's a 2006 model with 217,200 miles and still going strong. It goes to show that proper maintenance can make a vehicle last a long time!

  • 2016 Dodge Ram 2500

    I have a 2007 Chrysler 300C with a 5.7L Hemi engine that reached 200,000 miles recently. The engine is still running strong, but I've been dealing with a few ABS problems and some front suspension issues. I've spent about $4,000 on repairs since December, but I believe it's worth it. The paint is still in good condition, and there's no rust on the body or frame. The only engine problems I've had were leaking valve cover gaskets and a faulty thermostat, but they were easy and cheap to fix.

  • Alma J.

    I own a 2011 Chrysler 300c with a 5.7 engine that has 261,000 miles on it and has been trouble-free. The only maintenance it needed was the replacement of the alternator, which was covered under a recall. I've also replaced the main fuel pump and have consistently used synthetic oil. I changed the battery two years ago and have gone through about 12 sets of 275/40/20 tires, which provide a smooth ride and excellent handling. My family enjoys road trips across America, and we have full confidence in the car's reliability. I follow a regular oil change schedule of every 10,000 miles, believing that with proper care, this vehicle can last for many more miles.

  • Darrin R.

    I own a 2006 300c SRT8 with 208,000 miles, and it's still running as well as it did when I got it. The only parts I've replaced are the steering pump, alternator, and temperature sensor. I've also upgraded to an ATI undrive pulley, AFE cold air intake, and got rid of the big suitcase mufflers in the back. This car has been reliable, and I have no intention of getting rid of it.

  • Elizabeth W

  • Cesar Morales

  • Craig R

    A Chrysler 300 is a dependable car that can typically last up to 200,000 miles before needing major repairs.

  • Anthony S

    I purchased a pre-owned 2005 300 Touring back in 2008. Drove it from 22,000 miles to 190,000 miles over 5 years until the engine gave out. Despite that, it was quite dependable. So, in 2013, I got a used 2012 model with a similar mileage and drove it up to 235,000 miles before it also met its end. These cars are generally reliable, but I discovered they have their limits, as experienced during a long drive at high speeds on I-10 heading towards El Paso.

  • Jpyce

    In 2016, my 300C has 161,000 miles on it and has been trouble-free. I replaced the coils at 130,000 miles.

  • Eddie Kim

    I was interested in knowing more, so I decided to research this because my 2007 Chrysler 300 Limited has 196,097 miles on it. I just changed the oil today, and the car still drives as smoothly as it did in 2007.

  • Don C

    I own a 2009 Chrysler 300 touring with 255,000 miles on it. Last week, I drove it from Nashville, TN to Danville, VA without any issues. I always make sure to have around $6000 with me for such trips. I told my wife that if the car breaks down, I'll leave it there and rent a car to return home. I'm waiting for a good reason to buy another car but for now, I'll just focus on maintaining this one and buying parts from NAPA.

  • Blake F



    I've got a 2006 Chrysler 300 Limited 3.5 V6 that's racked up 229,000 miles and is still going strong. Over the years, I've gone through a few sets of tires, replaced two batteries, and just recently swapped out the original muffler. Other than that, no major repairs needed. I bought it brand new back in July 2005 with just 12 miles on the odometer.

  • Josette M

    I'm not sure how much longer it'll keep going, but my 2005 car has 183,000 miles on it and is still running smoothly! No major problems so far - it's holding up well.

  • Francie J.

    I've decided to hang on to my 2007 Chrysler 300 Touring, which has been diligently maintained throughout its life. It has clocked in at 297,000 miles, with regular oil changes every 3000 miles and all fluids maintained at 80% of the recommended mileage level. There have been no instances of oil leaks, so I think I'll hold onto it for a while longer.

  • NancyCroker

    Back in 2005, I purchased a 2002 Chrylser 300 M with 88,000 miles on it. I've been consistent with changing the oil every 3,000 to 4,000 miles. Fast forward to today, it's clocked in at 234,000 miles and is still running smoothly, maintaining its powerful engine sound. I've only had to make minor fixes like replacing the battery brace and thermostat. The leather interior is still in top-notch condition, free from any tears or signs of wear. Unlike many other cars, this one's quality goes beyond just the outer appearance.

  • Albert B

    I own a 2008 300C that has clocked 250,000 miles and a 2006 300C AWD with 216,000 miles. Both cars have not had any significant issues apart from regular wear and tear, leading me to believe that a 300 model should have a long lifespan. I'm hoping my cars will continue to run smoothly in the future, or else I might become well-acquainted with the inner workings of a 300. Please excuse any grammatical errors; I've been awake for far too long.

  • Micah M.

    I bought my 2007 Chrysler 300 Touring (RWD) in 2008 when it had almost 16,000 miles. I have regularly maintained it and still have it now. Apart from regular wear and tear, I haven't faced any significant problems. It has now clocked 240,000 miles!

    They are dependable. My 2010 Chrysler 300 touring is equipped with all its original components, aside from the battery that I swapped out a year ago and the tires.

  • Steven K.

    I have a 2009 Chrysler 300 with a 3.5-liter engine that has 235,000 miles on it. I religiously change the oil every 3,000 miles, opting for full synthetic oil. Additionally, I perform a transmission drain and refill every 30,000 miles. The key factors in keeping your car running smoothly are regular oil changes and transmission maintenance, specifically drain and fill, not flush.

    Here's a unique paraphrase: "2008 model has reached 360,000 kilometers with minimal maintenance. Experiencing stalling problems at low speeds. Any suggestions for a solution?

  • Doris

    I've got a 3.5 limited still rolling, but it feels like there's a new problem popping up every month. I'm hoping it lasts to 200k. It's a great car - I gave it to my mom around 100k, and she drives long distances daily, tackling big hills regularly. Had to ditch the 22s and replace a few things like the key fob, some door locks, and the shocks for the hood and trunk for around 30 bucks. Fingers crossed this beauty keeps on going!

  • Britaney

    In 2007, I got a 300 Limited with around 97,600 miles on it, equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 engine. Luckily, I haven't encountered any significant issues yet. People have mentioned that as long as it's looked after well, the 3.5 engine can last for many miles. *crosses fingers*

    I own a 2011 Chrysler 300c that has 275,348 miles on it and it's still running great. I've only done the routine maintenance like changing the oil, spark plugs, coil packs, and I recently replaced the water pump. Two weeks ago, I also had to get a new alternator due to a recall. I wouldn't give it up for anything, as I've driven all those miles myself. You could say it's been a lot of road time put into this car.

  • Bebee

    I drive a 2008 Chrysler 300 Touring with a V6 3.5 Liter engine, and I'm a big fan of it. My car has racked up 245,000 miles and it's still running strong. I've got a nice dual exhaust setup that gives it a sweet sound. I'm confident I can push it past 300,000 miles, fingers crossed! 😊🚗
