Finally got around to replacing the ‘95 LHS that gave up on me a couple of years ago now. I’ve been using my 1 ton van as my winter daily driver ever since but I finally found a great deal on the one I’ve been holding out for.
Here’s my new to me as of tonight 2004 300M!:)
It has only 108k miles on the clock and is in really good condition. I’m more excited than I thought I would be.:lol:
Finally got my own @BIGBARNEYCARS !!!

Nice score Matt, sweet ride. If you have the 3.5 engine a preventive maintenance w/ t-belt and pulleys, wp & coolant. you will be good to go for another 100k.
 
Nice score Matt. Those LH platform cars were well designed and well built. 100k is just broken in on these cars. Parts are readily available and they are not too bad to work on. Plus they look good, have plenty of power and are very comfortable to drive. I love the color of your ride. Good luck with it.
 
Nice car Matt. Black on black leather w the 3.5 v6? I had a 2001 Chrysler Concord LXI - loved that car.
Thanks Gents! It’s not black though, more like black cherry. I’ll be curious to see what the color was called. I’m trying to think if I’ve seen another like it.

It's called Black Lava Red Pearl (ZMQ). It's one of the colours I was considering for my 300.
 
Great car Matt - has the all aluminum 3.5 liter engine that goes another 100K easily with proper maintenance. The maintenance related timing belt, w/p etc. items and fresh coolant will do the job as suggested by @david hill are spot on. Unlike the earlier 3.5 engines that were iron block, aluminum cylinder heads that did not have interference motors, yours is an interference one so doing that maintenance is important.
Those 300Ms handle and ride great and will put a smile on your face every time you drive one.
