Though some dealers don’t seem to know what new actually means.
Chrysler’s 300 (along with the related Dodge Charger and Challenger) has been out of production for about 2 years now. The long running sedan was riding on an updated version of Chrysler’s LX platform – dubbed LY – that originally debuted back in 2011. The 300 had gone largely unchanged since its 2015 refresh. Buyers loved it for its classic styling, large interior, comfortable ride, and the best part, its available 5.7-liter Hemi V8. Its departure has left Chrysler’s lineup in an even sadder state than it was when it was still in production; the only models the brand sells now are 2 versions of the same van in the Pacifica and Voyager.

If you find yourself in the market for a 300 you may think that your only option is to go used. If you look hard enough though you can still find a handful of new 300s for sale at various dealers across the country as of this writing (And some people have been looking hard for new ones. Stellantis reported in its Q2 sales results for 2025 that 147 had been sold, bringing the total sold so far this year to 488).
Utilizing both Cars.com and Autotrader ( I would have used Cargurus as well but the 300 isn’t included in the list of models Chrysler makes when you select new) I was able to find 24-26 new 300s for sale across the country. Now technically., these 300s aren’t new, they’re “new”. Nearly all of them are 2023s and while some have really low miles, others are examples that show that some dealerships may have to look up the definition of what defines a new car. Let’s take a look at a few examples.

One of the only one of these 300s that could be considered new is a 2023 300 Touring L for sale at Cecil Atkission Chrysler in Uvalde, Texas. It has just 2 miles on the odo and the dealer wants $42,999. While that may seem a bit steep, that price is down $4,546 off its original MSRP.
When looking at the cheapest of these 300s you start to see just what a confusing mess some of these listings are. The two cheapest 300s are a pair of 2023 Touring trims for sale at Chesrown Chrysler in Sydney, Ohio. One has 12 miles and is listed for $28,985 while the other has 16 miles and has a sticker of $29,828.

Other 300 listings are even more baffling. Of the 20+ listed for sale, 9 of them have thousands of miles but are somehow listed as new; at least a couple of these are weirdly listed with incorrect mileage, actually having just delivery miles instead of the thousands. Take a trio of 300s for sale at Patriot Chrysler in Pryor, Oklahoma. All 2023 Touring trims, the first two have thousands of miles but are listed as new. The one with the highest miles has 43,433 miles on it and the dealer is asking $36,549; checking this same car again a short time later showed the price mysteriously increased by $20. The other 300 has 23,332 miles and is somehow just $867 cheaper than the higher mileage 300 at $35,702. Lastly, the 300 with the lowest miles is listed as having 4,999 but the dealer’s photos show an image of the car’s odo, where it reads just 10 miles. Even being basically new the price is somehow just $421 more than the highest mileage 300, wearing a sticker of $36,990. What makes these prices even more confusing are the dealer’s discounts. Those aforementioned sticker prices automatically come with discounts of just over $2,000 that the dealer calls a “Patriot Pledge” discount, which is really just a discount off the original MSRP. The dealer also weirdly throws on assumptions of a $2,000 trade discount as well as a $1,500 finance discount that you receive if you finance the loan through the dealer – though that isn’t included in the aforementioned MSRP. And before you go and think that the higher mileage 300s were mistakenly listed as new, think again. Both are listed on the dealer’s site under new Chrysler inventory, right alongside eight 2026 Pacifica/Voyagers.

Other 300 listings have prices that show that someone at these dealers might want to go get their head examined. Max Dye Chrysler in Salem, Illinois has a “new” ‘23 300 Touring L with 10,200 miles listed for the head scratching price of $44,693. Aside from the fact that this dealer is listing a nearly 3 year old car with just over 10,000 miles as new, this price is wild for one simple reason: it’s just over $1,000 more than the original MSRP. And that’s including destination charges.

The most interesting of these 300 listings is also both the oldest and most expensive. LaPorte Chrysler Dodge Jeep and RAM in LaPorte, Indiana has a 2022 300S listed for sale with just 300 miles on it. But this isn’t just any 300S and the main visual giveaway is its large hood scoop and six heat extractor vents. According to the dealerships description – and a couple of Youtube links thrown in it – this 300 was modified by a company called Magnuson Performance which also happens to be the performance and customization arm of the dealership. They turned what would otherwise be a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 powered 300S into a monster of a sleeper.

Magnuson threw in MOPAR’s 426 Hellphant supercharged Hemi V8 that puts out an insane 1,000 horsepower and 950 lb-ft of torque. Other goodies thrown on include a Dodge Hellcat transmission to handle the power and Brembo brakes. Looking at Magnuson’s Youtube channel shows this build took awhile, with the original engine swap happening in April 2022 and the first startup not happening until the following November. Ultimately, it’s a hell of a build but one that you’ll pay dearly for. LaPorte is asking a cool $125,000 for this Hellephant powered 300. It’s a big ask for sure, especially considering it’s now basically four years old. But it’s also a near new muscle car that’s powered by a specialty crate engine that costs nearly $36,000 (there’s currently a $4,010 discount on the engine), so to some it may be worth it.
So what does all of this tell us? That if you’re in the market for a “new” Chrysler 300, you’re about to navigate a weird, confusing and frustrating market filled with just a handful of cars, some of which aren’t as cheap as you’d think they’d be. Good luck.
