Estimates for a new purchase at R 528 990; retail basis, trade-in ≈ 12% under retail.
The 300C gave SA buyers full-size American presence for less than the German equivalents, from R359,900 at its 2005 launch to R528,990 for the 3.6 V6 by 2013. A Mercedes-derived 3.0 CRD diesel and the 6.4 SRT-8 bookended the range. Values fell hard once Chrysler left in 2017, so used examples now look very cheap against original list.
