[Chrysler300] buying s/h 300 parts on i/net - final & new 300C news

["christopher beilby" <thelastbestgenius@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would like to thank all those who offered experiences and comment re 
buying needed parts for their 300 series vehicles on the internet.

Two simple final thoughts/comment.
1) some last comment was raised re added difficulties for some sellers 
shipping auction items overseas - yet without overseas buyer's/bidders, 
sellers may (sometimes/often would) get lower final bids/prices?  So if it 
is more difficult for sellers to send items, they must weigh that up with 
possible lower prices if only sell to US?! Obviously you guys in the US 
would be glad if us furriners weren't bidding/competing?!!
Comments re varying experiences re 'Handling Charges' charged - buyers 
wishing to avoid bad experiences here were/are advised to note any that seem 
too high before bidding, or else ask for (rough/firm?) price before bidding?
2) "buyer beware" - more than one person suggested everyone should be 
prepared for the buying deal that is a ripoff, or dud - where one in effect 
does one's money.
One must (seemingly/hopefully) be in front re the other good deals to in 
effect maybe walk away, write off, the odd bad deal - otherwise if this is 
too unacceptable, then it is suggested people only deal with people on a 
face to face basis, where one can physically see and handle the item before 
agreeing to purchase/pay.
Various means of trying to get bad deals corrected were mentioned/suggested, 
but individual experiences seem to indicate do not count on quick or 
effective results from these?!
Once again thank you to all of you with more years' ebay experience.

Of a more 300C (the original) specific aussie news - the 'new' 300C 
Australian launch was supposed to be September, then October, and is now 
apparently November. The largest monthly collector/sales national 
publication has asked me would I provide my original/first 300C (the now 
well tuned and sorted one) for a feature they are doing on the new 300C.

So I have suggested we go out to the race circuit about 30 mins north, and 
put both them round the track. I have just ordered/received new conrod 
bearings (standard)  from Egge, and will also put new upper control arm 
bushes in I have, plus add my octane boost before our encounter.

This circuit will be a great test, have been there before in my somewhat 
souped up 57 T/bird, it just getting up to 100mph on short 1st back 
straight, so the 300 should crack maybe 115-120 mph.  Be interesting to see 
how the back end hangs in on the (next) hairpin corner, and the later esses 
before coming out onto pits/grandstand straight.  The early tacho will help 
get the best/safest auto changes, but do not know how carbs will go in the 
turns, may try to do the mods that cut out flooding, flat spots, if anyone 
knows how to explain how to do the mods.

All the best over there, great to see all the shots on club site of all the 
300s together and being driven at two recent outings/events.
