ANSWER: I just cant find anything wrong with this deal.  And I have a lot of RECENT experience in searching for one of these cars for my wife.  They are pretty good cars, high demand, and that is a good price.  If everything checks out well on it, I would not hesitate to purchase it.
If that car was in Oklahoma, it would have already sold.  These people here are asking a lot more than that for this type of car right now.

QUESTION: Yeah I figured. But I'm only 20, so you think it is a good investment?
What are good and bad things about the car?
This car has been on the lot for 162 days

Answer
Well I never suggest that purchasing a vehicle, would be a good investment, because vehicles are depreciating items.  At this point and time, they are a pretty high demand, so they are currently holding good resale value, now, that will not last.  I really have yet to find anything negative about the cars.  I would try and avoid one with the 2.7 motor, but the 300c comes with the Hemi V8.....which is a good motor.  Understand that I am, for the most part, an
anti-chrysler guy.  I just dont like much of anything that has the chrysler/dodge emblem.
But my wife has really been wanting one, so I have researched the heck out of these cars, and I feel confident enough with the car, to actually buy one, if I could find one that was priced reasonable.  As previously stated, here in oklahoma, they are pricing these like they are made of gold.  And I refuse to pay that kind of money for a vehicle...period.  But that price you got of 16,926 is a good price, and probably because it has been on the lot so long.  There are just different parts of the country that sell different cars better.  As I said earlier, if the carfax is good, and the car checks out good, I would jump all over it.  Just take care of it, keep the miles as low as you can, and you will be ok.
