OK enough with the ad cut and paste now info for this car .... my car.... I got its with 25k on the clock when i purchased it the previous owners were elderly...   I love the hemi the car will move.....
Transmission:
I put a trailer hitch receiver on it to tow my boat to the lake that was near my house.  but the boat has not been in the water for 7 years now.... the transmission was rebuilt 2 years ago and I have not towed anything with the car with it and I have 3 other cars a truck and company vehicle so rarely drive it..
Moon roof:
I knew moon roofs and sunroofs back in the day use to leak...... well they still do but they now run drain-lines so just like having a rain gutter on your house you have in the case of the Chrysler 300 3x drain hoses that drain all that leaking water from your sunroof down the pillars and safely onto the ground..... great right..... well after 10 years or so of no issues or leaks I purchased a house with trees that shed all over the car and you guessed it.... filled the drain i didn't know it even had on the sunroof.... I have multiple cars so by the time I found this the car had been sitting with several inches of water in the carpet.

I have unclogged the drain and dried the inside of the  car out but frankly  the car smell moldy now
Moldy Carpet:
(I've renamed it mold monster)
The carpet needs to be cleaned or replaced  ( stock interiors has the carpet for 7.95 I'm not affiliated with them) )
if you replace it yourself that would be a nice Saturday project.

Radio Sat NAV
The Sat Nav  has a joystick that is broken.. the radio works fine and the GPS map works too but you cant enter a destination in the navigation system..... (I rarely even turn on the nav screen and use my phone gps anyway)
Here is a link to a company that can repair the joystick if you send them the radio ( I'm not affiliated with them) they want
4.99 to fix the joystick https://www.taninautoelectronix.com/product/2005-2009-chrysler-rec-navigation-joystick-repair/
There is an easter egg feature that if you press the right button combination you can get to different screens on the display in the middle of the dash like a digital speedometer

Under body pan on the nose its a plastic  splash shield that is normally held on by those cheep plastic push plugs and spring clips .... what ever happened to nuts and bolts..... I have bottomed out and ripped it off a couple of times and replaced it once... the current one due to my disgust with spring clips and plastic push plugs in now secured with heavy duty monster zip ties and since I switched to those its been golden.

I just put brand new headlight lenses on the car so the headlight assembly is not drab faded or milky like most older cars.
I absolutely loved owning this car and driving it is still a blast but its time for it to go
Carfax report:
A retired sheriff's wife ran into the back bumper a number of years ago and it shows up on the report.  the bumper cover had to be replaced because her SUV had an off road tow hook on the front that made a hole in the bumper cover.  i did n' t even spill my coffee when she bumped me.
