The volume Chrysler across New Zealand imports.
Last reviewed: 23 April 2026
The Chrysler 300C is the volume Chrysler in New Zealand and the car that drives almost every Chrysler finance application made in the country. Most NZ 300C examples arrived as ex-Australian RHD stock from the Fiat Chrysler Australia era, with a smaller pool of direct US imports in LHD or converted form. The Luxury 3.6 V6 is the mainstream trim, while the 300C SRT and earlier 300C R/T sit in a Hemi V8 enthusiast pocket. Finance rates hinge heavily on ex-Australian versus US provenance and on complete service history.

Who this suits
Financing notes
At $20,000 across a 4-year term at 10.5%, the weekly repayment sits at roughly $118 a week or $514 a month. Ex-Australian 300C Luxury typically clears application on a wider lender panel than a direct US equivalent, with rates 0.5 to 1.5 percentage points tighter. A 25% deposit and a 3 or 4-year term keeps the loan balance tracking the 300C's thin-residual curve and avoids the refinancing conversation that longer terms typically force.
Model-specific questions
Yes. The Luxury V6 sits on a wider NZ lender panel, with more predictable insurance pricing and a less volatile residual curve. The SRT V8 moves into a niche-performance finance tier where loan-to-value is capped tighter at 70 to 75%, the maximum term drops to 3 or 4 years, and insurance availability narrows sharply. Budget the SRT finance and insurance together before signing a deposit.
It is the single most important factor on the finance rate outside of deposit size. An ex-Australian 300C Luxury with full FCA Australia service history typically clears application 0.5 to 1.5 percentage points tighter than a direct US 300C of the same year, with a longer maximum term and a broader approved-lender panel. Prioritise ex-Australian stock where the option exists.
Our finance partner compares multiple NZ lenders. Calculator inputs travel through to the application, and the partner returns a formal estimate after the lender's credit assessment.
Disclaimer
A car loan is a commitment that runs for years, and repayments come out of the same pay cheque as everything else. Before committing, it is worth modelling the weekly and monthly cost against the household budget, which is what this site is built to help with. Borrowing at a level that stays comfortable on a bad week, not a good one, is widely regarded as the safer frame.
Carfinance.org.nz earns a commission from a partner brand when a visitor applies through this site and their application is approved. That commission is paid by the partner, not the applicant, and it does not influence the rate the lender offers. We refer every visitor to the same partner because they compare multiple New Zealand lenders on the applicant's behalf, so the recommendation is not driven by a sponsored deal. Every figure shown on this site is a modelled estimate based on the inputs entered; the actual rate, fees, and repayments are set by the lender after assessing the applicant's circumstances and own credit decision. Carfinance.org.nz is a calculator and information tool. We are not a lender, not a broker, and not a registered financial adviser. Any decision about whether a specific loan suits a specific situation is best made after talking with the lender, and for amounts that materially affect the household, with a registered financial adviser.
