That is a VERY interesting car. They put the 300c front end on a Magnum it looks like. And...diesel? Wow, I guess they put diesels in everything in Europe, eh? £13 doesn't sound like a bad price (I think that comes out to $20k, right?). Also, 35 mpg (us, I converted it, lol) in a car that usually gets 26 mpg is just awesome. I'd get it.

That looks very clean. Interesting look with the drivers side on the right.
If the conversions are correct, the difference in price for diesel is made up by mileage you will get I think.
I prefer a 4 door over 5 door.
Silver and black are both good colors. Unknown service history is OK, have it checked out by mechanic. Can you run carfax where you are?

That is an excellent price for that car!

It must be a near new one. That 3L turbo deisel has just been introduced by Chrysler here in North America. It seems to be the engine of choice over the 5.7 Hemi for the Jeep Grand Cherokee's here in Canada.

Darn it! Another totally awesome car we didn't get!

I'd get the lower-priced one checked out, then go haggle with the owner. 6000 fewer miles is nice.

Do they offer the Hemi in EU? I'm assuming not....

Silver for sure and I just don't dig the rims on there.

Yeah they do but just not economical enough would need to have LPG fitted but then would lose
boot space

No we don't have Carfax over here but we have different company's that can check most of the car's history

Black one is December 2006 first Reg
And the Silver one is October 2006 first Reg both are on late 56 plate's which is how we tell what age they are
Bonneville is on old type plate's X Reg which is late 2000 to early 2001
We had three engine's choice 3.5L petrol Hemi 5.7L now 6.1L and the mercedes 3.0L Diesel engine which sold better than the 3.5L and the hemi so they have dropped the 3.5L and just sell the hemi and the diesel now
by the way the diesel engine holds about 10 litre's of oil and has to have what they call low ash synthetic oil
so oil change's aren't going to be cheap but only need's changing once every 12.500 miles
This is how you read english number plate's to tell what year the car is

I know the rims aren't much but the car is for daily use so will get a good bashing
and i'm afraid i am not a 20" Rims man as i am getting very very close to 50 off by one year so my bling days are over



Except for the chrome rim's on the Bonneville

Hows the interior of the silver one compare to the black one?

Those particular wheels are found stock on the US Dodge Chargers. I don't know if you've ever seen the wheels that we get on the 300's; They might change your mind about wanting wheels!

The silver one has got the same colour interior
I just dont want anymore chrome rims to much hard work to keep clean
and i am not known for keeping my daliy drivers very clean especialy during the winter months as there is a lot of lorry traffic on the roads round by me because of the sugar beet season

How hard is it to drive the bonneville on the "other" side of the road?

Not hard at all now but it was frightning when i first drove a lhd american car which was a
Buick Century 1977 5.7 liter four door the size was not a problem but the steering wheel on the
wrong side was
My daliy driver at the time was a 4.2 liter jaguar xj6 1973

I am 49 year's old and have been driving lhd since i was 19

Update!

Well i ended up buying the silver one got for £12200 =$17027
as it needs a sevice but also the rims look a bit bad in the center
so will try and get a new set on the warranty
i will post some pictures when i get time

Nice! Pictures are a must!

Finally got some photo's taken sorry about quality as not very good with camera








3.0 Litre Common Rail Diesel

A few more picture's

Very nice pics. A beautiful car!
425 ft-lbs of torque in that beauty.

Nice car. Looks exactly like a magnum but not as long

It is a magnum but with a chrysler 300c front clip as we don't have the dodge magnum over here
