I know the feeling all too well. I'm probably going to have to part with my IS for career changes. Good luck...You'll be back. These cars are just too good.

You have one of my favorite SC's out there. I think you should drive your 300C and then hop in the old SC and ask yourself. "Is this worth saying goodbye too?"

I love my SC so much, and everytime I ask myself if I want to sell it. I take it for a "spirited" drive. Then I fall back in love with it.

I know your career is time consuming, I spent the last 2 1/2 years working full time and being a full time graduate student. There are times when my SC doesn't get the love it deserves, but I will tell you. Now that I've graduated, i'm happy she is still parked in front of my house.

I was wondering what kinda deals we'd start seeing on those 300C's given Chryslers situation. How are you liking it so far?

Well I got a fully loaded 2005 300C 5.7 with 28K for 18K flat out the door. Sticker price was 25999, it even has some damn nice wheels. Those are a dime a dozen though as thats what most people do to the 300s. I am happy with the car, its a gas pedal and go car.. Needed something clean that I don't want to tinker with.

I hear you on this one, I really do. I really enjoyed the SC scene but I always found myself wanting to replace it with something new. I went from G35s, to MR2s and had my eye on the 300C and I ended up getting a great deal on it. Money talks, and the guy brought me the cash to the shooting range I was out because he was very intent on buying it so I let her go. He will be joining the forums soon, and has has the cash to get the 5 speed swap done and really see what she can do! Hopefully, we will add a new member to the forums who has a genuine desire to keep this hobby alive. Thank you for your comments, means a lot.

Probably.. I'll find an SC for a few grand and pick it up when my situation allows. Maybe he will get tired of it and I'll buy it back haha.

You have an amazing ride. I would never dream of getting rid of a car of that caliber, but I have no clue what you do for a living but you seem to invest a lot of sweat and blood into it. Good luck, I keep checking the forums anyways because in my head, I always sit and build the perfect car for me.

They always do this to get attention then talk on here everyday like nothing has changed

I didn't really tinker much on the GE/GTE platform. The 1UZFE was a whole other beast, and supercharging it was mounds of fun.

Anyways, the guy paid in cash so the car is gone. He plans on joining the forum soon so keep an eye out for him, as he will be taking the car even further than I did.
