...hmmmm.....I'm confused. Other than the shift gate & steering wheel, what's so different on the 300?

IMO high 3's;certainly not 4750.....not a real desireable color unless YOU like it. Needs too much work for that price. On the other hand, if by chance it's a manual.......

^^ Not really because the newer paints were more than just colors, they were much better quality pearl just like everything else was much better. Perforated seats don't overheat and crack, for an example. The new projectors are bragged on here by everyone who has used them..... Everything was an improvement.

Sorry you don't get it. A complete interior makeover, nearly none of the electronics compatible, and a new driveline are what anyone would consider "Completely different".

Moving on.....

They are really trying to get me to buy this car now at $6k. LOL. Because I know they will move off that down to $5.5 with no negotiation.
