Used 2021 Chrysler 300 for Sale nearManassas, VA

How much does the 2021 Chrysler 300 cost?

Prices have softened 9.33% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 525 listings available, which gives you a decent amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2021 Chrysler 300 a good car?

Yes — 4.6/5 owners rate it, and the expert rating is 7.67/10. The standout strength is Technology at 9/10.

Owners consistently praise the luxurious look, smooth ride, impressive handling, acceleration, and comfort. That lines up well with the car’s use case as a comfortable, quiet, upscale-feeling sedan that still gives you rear-wheel-drive character and available all-wheel drive or V8 power.

The main trade-off is that it can feel like poor value for money, especially given its aging design.

With 29.5% of listings priced as good or great deals, you still have room to shop carefully.

Is the 2021 Chrysler 300 reliable?

Owners rate it 4.6/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a vehicle people tend to appreciate over time, with praise centered on comfort, smoothness, and the kind of driving experience you can count on day to day. The expert evaluation also describes it as quiet, capable, and comfortable on the road, which supports the idea that it remains dependable in regular use.

The warranty coverage is mid-pack, with three years or 36,000 miles of basic coverage and five years or 60,000 miles of powertrain protection.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is less about outright durability and more about whether the car’s age, feature packaging, and running costs still fit your expectations.

What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Chrysler 300?

At 68% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a close inspection of bodywork, panel alignment, and any signs of prior repair. Because the car’s advanced safety equipment is tied to higher trims and packages, you should also confirm exactly which features are present on the specific listing you’re considering.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base 300 Touring uses 17-inch silver alloys, cloth upholstery, and an eight-way power driver’s seat, while the Touring L and 300S add more upscale touches such as Nappa leather upholstery. The 300S also gets perforated inserts and accent stitching, and the Comfort Group adds adaptive HID lamps plus some of the nicer interior and lighting upgrades.
• Powertrain: The 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 makes 292 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque in the Touring and Touring L, while the 300S gets 300 horsepower and 264 pound-feet. The 300S also offers a 5.7-liter V8 with 363 horsepower and 394 pound-feet, and all versions use an eight-speed automatic.
• Safety package: All Chrysler 300s include active head restraints, airbags, traction and stability control with brake assist, rain brake support, ready alert braking, and hill start assist. Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are only available on the Touring L or 300S, and the SafetyTec Plus Group adds forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, lane departure warning, and rain-sensing wipers.
• Infotainment: The 8.4-inch Uconnect 4C touchscreen is standard across the lineup, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard too. The Popular Equipment Group adds a 506-watt amp, nine Alpine speakers, GPS navigation, SiriusXM Traffic Plus, surround sound, a trunk-mounted subwoofer, and a dual-pane sunroof.
• Fuel efficiency: The V6 with rear-wheel drive returns 19 mpg city, 30 mpg highway, and 23 mpg combined. AWD lowers that to 18 mpg city, 27 mpg highway, and 21 mpg combined, while the V8-powered 300S returns 16 mpg city, 25 mpg highway, and 19 mpg combined.

Which 2021 Chrysler 300 trim should I buy?

The 2021 Chrysler 300 is offered in 3 trim levels: 300 Touring, 300 Touring L, 300S.

Here's the short version:

• 300 Touring: This is the entry point, and it gives you the core Chrysler 300 experience with the 8.4-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, rear-wheel drive, and the V6. It makes sense if you want the least expensive way into the model, but it is also the most basic in terms of materials and available safety tech.
• 300 Touring L: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds a more upscale feel with Nappa leather upholstery and can be paired with useful upgrades like adaptive HID lamps through the Comfort Group. If you want the sweet spot between price and luxury, this is the one to focus on.
• 300S: This is the most powerful and most distinctive version, with 300 horsepower from the V6, standard 20-inch Black Noise wheels, paddle shifters, and an available 5.7-liter V8. Choose it if you want the strongest performance and the most upscale sport-oriented presentation.

Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are only available on the Touring L or 300S, so those trims are the better starting point if safety equipment matters to you.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Chrysler 300?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop with some leverage if you know what you want.

• Deal availability: 29.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 525 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.33% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 68.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $20,212, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2021 Chrysler 300's resale value?

The current average of $20,273 sits slightly below last year's $22,359.

That softer pricing suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable entry point today. For a future seller, that also means resale value may depend heavily on condition, mileage, and equipment rather than just model-year desirability.

Because the 300 is a niche sedan with a loyal audience, well-kept examples should still attract interest from shoppers who want a traditional rear-drive luxury car. Strong pricing discipline now can help you preserve more value later.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.6/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2021 Chrysler 300 safe?

The 2021 Chrysler 300 earns Good ratings in most IIHS crash tests, but it also receives a Marginal result in the small overlap tests and a Poor rating for headlights. It earns a four-star overall rating from NHTSA, with four-star driver and passenger side crash test ratings, four-star rollover ratings, and five-star ratings in the combined side barrier and side pole crash test.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

All Chrysler 300s include active head restraints, airbags, traction and stability control with brake assist, rain brake support, ready alert braking, and hill start assist. Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are only available on the Touring L or 300S, and the SafetyTec Plus Group adds forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, lane departure warning, and rain-sensing wipers.

The IIHS headlight result is the main caveat here, and the fact that some advanced safety features are tied to higher trims means you should verify equipment carefully on any used listing.

Should I buy a 2021 Chrysler 300 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2021 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2021 if:

• 29.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 68% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.33% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.6/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2021 model combines a comfortable, quiet cabin with easy-to-use technology and available V6 or V8 power in a traditional rear-drive luxury sedan package.

The bottom line: If you want the Chrysler 300’s classic big-sedan character, the 2021 is a sensible year to target because pricing has eased and the model still delivers the core strengths that make it appealing. If you’re especially price-sensitive, you can shop aggressively for a well-kept Touring or Touring L, but you should be selective about accident history and trim content.
