Great Buy Craig!! Clean & Flip it.

could come across more headaches doing the conversion, seems like a perfect clean flip, nothing wrong with doing a few sporty upgrades to make the 5.7 stand out

I don't think I've seen a 2005 Chrysler 300 that clean in years. The headlights look brand new.

The smart answer is flip it. But deep down inside, I want to see you go crazy with it! Do all the stuff! It'll be fun to watch and when you're all done with it it's going to be and insane build. For honestly, not that much money. And when you do sell it, you'll make more than if you just flipped it anyway. I hope that's what you do!

I go to a lot of auctions and any 300, especially with a Hemi, and in that shape, will go for a lot of money. I would expect that car at a Manheim or Adesa auction to go for at least $3500 or more in the midwest in that excellent condition. Maybe they don't bring as much on the East coast but they sure aren't that cheap out here.

@@iwillforthethrill5217 I'm a dealer. I know there are good bargains for sure. I'm just jealous because anything with a Hemi here in the midwest goes for considerably more. There was a '10 Challenger R/T with 165k miles a salvage title and a TRA so it was definitely an As Is no matter what and it sold for $5500. I actually was a bidder but dropped out at $4500 because with the TRA present there must have been some kind of an issue. It did look really good though. Of course shipping from all the way on either coast would make zero sense. You got the buy of the year there so enjoy it!

Heya Craig, I think you should follow your gut and assume something's up. It just doesn't make sense that someone would recently have put that much money into replacing nearly all the mechanical wear items in this car, only to dump it at a dealer auction. So here's my suggestion: Before putting a nickel into it, I'd daily it for a few weeks or more, and put some good miles on it. Take it on a long-ish interstate trip. Look for things like overheating, oil consumption, coolant consumption, excess fuel consumption. There could be something up with the cooling system or head gasket or even the block. I'll keep watching for updates. But yeah, you could've gotten the deal of the decade. EDIT: Craig, it's been 12 days. So what *did* happen? We're all wondering.

I agree with this post. You don't want to pass on a potential problem to a customer. The bad rap will come back to haunt you. Feel it out first.

Fix it, Clean it, Sell it, buy another

Sell it. You have a cobra and summer is coming up. You showed us other cars in storage lot that are costing you money sitting there. Great videos but I think that $850. dollar car needs a new home.

You hit the jackpot on this car.

I think upgrades are a great idea. simple is key. Go for the performance exhaust, brushed finish aluminum 22" rims (no chrome) and thin tires, blacked out chrome and headlights. Add a bully Dog Tuner for a bit of HP. keep us posted Craig! cant wait to see which you choose to do. thanks for all the awesome content .

Hi Craig great video this car has had some maintenance done to it no doubt. Maybe find a family that had financial problems. And donate it to them they will love it and great publicity for your business. I love your videos all the best to you and yours.

Wow, that is nice, Craig! AWESOME find. Both my sister and bro in law own a Chrysler 300. They are pretty cool cars. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

Super charge it and Make it a sleeper. Don’t change the exterior by putting spoilers and hood scoops on it. Keep it as stock as possible and upgrade under the hood and suspension

A quick sale gets you closer to the goal but if you set it up correctly you can have fun and then sell it👍👊

The Hemi 300 is one of the most underappreciated cars. Sadly, if you upgrade, it's for yourself and your audience. I doubt you'll capitalize on the resale with the upgrades. May I suggest maybe maching it out and run a contest for a viewer to win it.🤔

@mph5896

Agree. In my experience, they actually hold up well. But I have seen quite a bit of engine issues with the hemi.

I really think you'll get a boat load of hits and likes if you also video the entire build. Before and after.

Great cadidate for someone in need!!!

With some drive train soup-ups (no scoops, wings, custom grills, or fancy wheels), it would be a great street sleeper. But, it's a three grand gift. Clean it and flip it. BTW, Craig, I'm a huge fan of your channel.

Almost traded my Challenger for a 14' 300 SRT but I can't give up my 6 speed manual. I think you should make sure the motor is solid and hook it up. I think it'll make for some good content.

Hi Craig nice buy. I personally would clean and do modify it slightly and then sell it on. It's in great condition and you know that it will make you a nice little profit. But at the end of day it's your car to did with as you see fit. Regards John

Bro, I would most definitely have fun with it!!! It would make great content and when your done if you want you can sell it.

Clean and sell money and profit yes! Great score!

Craig! Great to see you put out a video like this. You bought a car for $1K!!!! It will be nice to see what you do with this. Maybe find someone that produces real wood trim for the interior?

You should plan to keep this, 2005 Chrysler 300C sedan with the 5.7 L HEMI V8 engine and the five-speed automatic transmission.

I got my 300c 1 year ago for $4500 in California, Its a great car to have, You should do a build series on your one, it will be great content!

Clean it, fix it, flip it! That's my vote.

It replaced the 300M …..but a nice car nonetheless

I love these cars I rented one when they first came out and it was so roomy and comfortable. I'd love to see it super charged and so it like OEM plus condition. I mean it has so many new parts already it would be a shame to not use it as an inexpensive toy.

Flip with the quickness; why upgrade when genuine ones aren't crazy expensive? Also, my guess for the low price is blown head gasket repaired with one of those bottle fixes.

That would be my next car sold $3995 give it a good home make someone happy there word of mouth is better then any advertising you could do!!!!

What a killer deal!!!

Sometimes Craig, people do look after their cars, but at some point the constant repairs as they age get people to trade them in. Someone has treated it well by the maintenane and engine/transmission condition. I reckon this is an example of this. Sparkle it up some (flash wheels maybe) good cleanup and sell it. Your original intentions will not get any bigger returns, and you are selling into a very limited market of buyers if you add all that performance stuff.

its same bolt pattern 5x115 also if you delete the suite case muffler in the middle it sounds good not to loud. when i had my old 300 hemi i put a 6.1 hemi stock cam in it with 6.1 heads and intake boosted it from 340 to 400 and you can find the parts cheap also those hemi,s like to drop valve seats if the get overheated

You're talking this car down, but there is a lot of fans and followers for this car.

Craig, I've always been fond of the 300 C, and I've actually checked out the market on them recently. I say you should have some fun with it and build it up. It would make a classy sleeper. A nice exhaust and drop would definitely be a good place to start!

I remember working at a dodge dealer and putting chrome grills and 22s on these in 2007 to move them when they weren’t selling during the pre-recession dealership days. Those were some rough times.

Scan tool ordered. Great deal, thanks. Clean it up and sell it.

Build it!!! Go crazy have some fun with it I like your ideas on what you would do to it sure it would make a great flip but it's a v8 5.7 sedan you can take the kids around in great car super comfortable id just build it and when you get board of it then maybe sell it. Love the videos keep up the amazing work!

You can't use the OBD2 scanner prior to the auction? The incomplete readiness indicators will tell you it's been recently erased by the seller.

I wonder why they put all the money into repairing the car then it goes into the auction. Maybe it was traded in. Id say fix clean and flip. Heck this car is easy 5k here in So Cal!

Preserve what it has, and sell it. That car is a survivor. Let someone else enjoy it for what it is.

One of the few American cars we got here in factory rhd. I’d love one, the srt variant added a lot to them. They were always a bit more boaty than the falcons and commodores it was competing against here.

Great find! You flip enough cars, which is great for the views, but go town with this one. Make it badass and have some fun!

Clean it sell it to someone who really needs a great reliable car. I bought a 2009 Dodge Magnum for 3500 that had a lot of repairs like your 300. Magnum is basically a 300 with a station wagon on the back. It’s a Florida car. Love it. Rides like a luxury car.

OMG! That is one hell of a deal! I think the best I’ve ever seen on your channel!

Do it up Craig. 👍👍

Take the home run and sell it. Whoever gets that car will be singing your praises. Take the win

Retail money tip priority. One in the hand is worth two in the bush. Or as we said in High school, one in the hand is worth two in the sweater.

I used to love renting these when I traveled for business. Not the sportiest but w real nice car to drive. Unless you know the market for upgraded cars like this I suggest you do the minor repairs, pocket the cash and move on.

You should super charge It lmao. That thing would sound soooooooo good. Also maybe a new exhaust so that it’s a little louder but not to loud. The stock paint does look good but if YOU want to repaint it you could do that also.

New water pump and fans makes me think it was overheated. I would be suspicious of a bad head gasket and possibly a warped head. If it develops a misfire code on one of the cylinders I would say definitely ran hot. Clean it up and sell it.

All around new shocks springs and calipers!!!!

As a car dealer myself I would do some performance upgrades only, have some fun with it, then sell it on.

Craig, here's an idea for you. Maybe not this car... For a future cool thing to do, find the perfect cheap car for a 16 year old getting their license for the first time. For some kids, it's hard to find that "first car" that they can afford working at fast food or a part time job. Find a deserving kid who's worthy of it and let them buy it for a "deal" price. It'd make a great video to put on here and also make some kids memory of their first car something they'll never forget. You could even get your kids involved. You know, pay it forward. I hope you consider it.

I want to see the upgrades but someone will enjoy the car like it is for the price.

Fix it and clean it & update the head & tail lights and update the radio to a touch screen navigation w a backup camera

my vote is ....I would like to see how much profit you can make.. Great buy

Great buy. Clean it up and flip it. $3500 profit.

my mom once bought a v6 from auction for 350. it was reliable too for about a year all I had to replace is the alternator and turned a good profit.

love your video going to leconia in june i will swing by your shop

Craig! Do the Chrysler 300 up, you haven't put much money into it ,so have fun with it.

Don't forget to tint the windows aswell as they look good tinted. Paul from London England

I always liked those 300’s…the only problem is it’s a Chrysler

I thought you were gonna say it has a C for Cummins. I was gonna come down and buy it 😂😂😂

Sell it Craig. I have owned a 2006 300c in 2007. A 2006 SRT 8 in 2008. That car was fun. Roll raced a 70 cuda 426 and beat him.The look on his face, Priceles! My Last one was a Mopar 12 300c.Bought brand new. Built only 500. Mine was numbered 333.Traded it a year later for a Prowler.

Clean and factory original cars like this are getting hard to find. I think most buyers would prefer this car to be stock. Fix it ,detail it , and sell .

Don’t waste $ on that. It will just look modified and seem abused by someone. Just clean and flip. If I needed a car, I would buy that for sure. Nice score!

Cut off mid resonators install straight pipes to improve exhaust. Wheel options are unlimited due to charger options fit. Ebay probably has cold air systems cheap to improve breathing. This car has a cult following so you can look at customized examples for ideas.

Fix it, clean it, sell it. No need to turn it into a "Pep Boys Special" as you noted. Think about doing a video on product application to stop/slow the rust on some of these vehicles. Product such as Blaster Surface Shield.

If the engine has the cylinder shut off(MDS) there are solenoids under the intake that stock broke easily. When bad can be mistook for a misfire. New solenoids are upgraded as stock came with plastic housing, new ones have steel housing. Biggest problem would be the lifters for the MDS going bad. On cold start will make a bad knock till oil circulates. Also the conductor plate in the transmission can need replacing for a speed sensor type error. Easy fix.

Build it!!!! Great content

I bought the same car about 4 years ago from Copart for $1000 with fees. Clean title hemi, 132,000 miles it was in there cause it was stuck in park which is a common issue with them. Simple fix and it was a great car. I ended up selling it for $3500 a few months later.

After doing some reflective-thinking have some fun with it Life's too short👍😎🇨🇦

That is a steal

Clean flip!

I love it I always wanted one

Americans love their cars. I think a little better exhaust system to make it sound better. Mopar people will be attracted to this one.

I'm a quick flip guy, but doing a small build would make a great video!

Make the necessary fixes and sell it!

Like the Flip to a Italian Sports car series, start a Flip into fun money and wait for a car that is worth doing up. As good as you got it, its still not worth the bling you described.

Put that baby on your lot it'll make a great car for someone with all that work already done to it

Have fun and sale is to me. Add a supercharger and a cooled air Intake, maybe even a turbo with the downpipe.
