Autoweek recently asked owners of the Chrysler 300C SRT8 to speak their minds about their vehicles, and the response
was, shall we say, overwhelmingly positive. Or, perhaps more correctly, it was devoid of negatives, as I don’t think
this is the sort of crowd that that would typically respond by shouting “My car rulez!!!”. The most common complaints
were excessive brake dust, a stiff ride, and the long waiting list. I’d expect that the waiting list will disappear
over time, but I can see the first two issues being of some concern for the owner of a $45K sedan. They’re certainly
not the sort of things that’d bother me one bit, though, and that’s why I found one tidbit so interesting. Autoweek
predicts a five-year depreciation of over $24K on these cars. Does that mean I’ll be able to pick one of these up in
five years for an inflation-adjusted $20,000? Oh, I can only hope, because that’d be a heck of a deal.
