Important: A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case. Please contact us before purchase; we review the possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support through the process. Import VAT and other costs are assessed separately.
CarHub · Chrysler
The Chrysler 300 is one of the few remaining American full-size sedans built on a rear-wheel-drive platform, and that alone makes it a magnet for European buyers who want genuine road presence rather than another mid-size German saloon.
Model profile
The first-generation 300 (LX platform) arrived for 2005 and revived the nameplate with its now-iconic upright grille and the 5.7-litre HEMI. The second generation (LD platform) launched for 2011 and is the one most commonly shipped today. It received a comprehensive mid-cycle refresh for 2015 with revised styling, a rotary gear selector and the 8-speed automatic fitted across the range.
Powertrain and equipment
Two engines dominate the used 300 market. The 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 produces roughly 292–300 hp and is the volume seller, offered with rear-wheel drive or an all-wheel-drive system with a front-axle disconnect for efficiency.
The 300 was sold only as a four-door sedan. The trim walk typically runs from 300 Touring and 300 Limited through the blacked-out 300S to the luxury-focused 300C, with a 300C Platinum topping the later model years.
Vehicle selection
Supply in the United States is deep.
A used Chrysler 300 suits the driver who wants a comfortable, distinctive highway cruiser with rear-wheel-drive manners and, in HEMI form, a proper V8 soundtrack — a combination that is expensive or simply unavailable in the European new-car market.

Pre-purchase review
For the Chrysler 300, the agreed inspection plan focuses in particular on vehicle history, visible body and underbody condition, fluid leaks, warning messages, tyres, brakes and accessible suspension components. USCar Trader can document these points through a separately commissioned on-site inspection; inaccessible areas or unauthorised road tests are explicitly recorded as unchecked.
Germany and Europe
US-market 300s run a speedometer in mph, combined red rear brake/turn lamps (no separate amber indicator and no rear fog lamp), and daytime running lights configured to US rules.
To pass German inspection the 300 typically needs a rear fog lamp added, the rear indicators converted to amber where required, headlights checked for correct beam pattern, and the odometer and speedometer reading in km/h confirmed or corrected in the documentation.
USCar Trader services
As a buyer based in Germany, you do not have to inspect the vehicle yourself in the United States or Canada. Within the agreed scope, USCar Trader can coordinate document review, a separately commissioned on-site inspection and purchase processing.
Covered inspection points are agreed in advance. An on-site inspection records condition at the appointment and is not a guarantee.
Next step: Before commissioning, USCar Trader and the customer agree which document, history, inspection and transaction checks suit the vehicle and are included in the service. This records what was actually checked.
Import process
The assessment depends on the specific vehicle and the circumstances of the transaction. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review any possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are considered separately.
Questions and answers
Whether a duty benefit may be available for the specific vehicle is assessed individually. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review the case and provide non-binding support through the process.
The 3.6 V6 is cheaper to run and the volume choice; the 5.7 HEMI 300C offers the classic V8 experience but higher fuel and tax costs. Both use the durable 8-speed automatic from 2012 on.
Generally solid, with the main watch points being early-Pentastar head issues (2011–2013), HEMI lifter tick and the TIPM electrical module. A well-documented post-2014 car is the safer buy.
No, not automatically. A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review the possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are assessed separately.
Import VAT and other taxes or costs are assessed separately under the applicable rules and the circumstances of the individual case. A blanket answer for every vehicle would not be reliable.
Usually a rear fog lamp, amber rear indicators where required, a headlight check and correct odometer documentation. The 300 is a conventional car and typically passes individual approval without major work.
Available VIN, title and history information can be reviewed in the vehicle profile. USCar Trader can also arrange a separately booked on-site inspection within a scope agreed in advance.
No. In line with the order, USCar Trader can coordinate seller contact, inspection, purchase processing, escrow and the subsequent import steps. The customer retains the purchase decision and approval.
