I was just wondering why the SRT-6 is only made in Automatic?
To me this doesnt make sense at all. Why would anyone want to have a 330 horsepower car that isn't manual transmission?
If this isn't true that the Srt-6 is only automatic transmission please prove me wrong, but I've been looking everywhere on the internet mostly on Autotrader.ca (I'm in Calgary, Alberta, Canada) by the way, and every single SRT-6 is Automatic. I've also looked elsewhere on the internet, Same thing.

The reason why i'm asking all this is I'm really interested in purchasing a Crossfire whether it be a SRT-6 or regular Coupe (not convertible, as I hate every single convertible car on the planet), thats just my opinion. But anyway. I would love to have and SRT-6 but only if it is a manual transmission.

I have a few other enquires actually.
There is a dealer near my place that has a Black 2005 Crossfire (which IS the color I want). They are asking $26,600 for it. Which in my opinion is wayyy over priced. I've checked the Canadian used car pricing guide online and it says it should be no more then $17,425 (adding 5% for being in Alberta, no idea why), which should make it about $18,296.25. So my question is how would I ever be able to talk down that much of a price at a dealership?
I understand that it is like new with only 19,000 kilometers on it. But asking almost $8,000 more then it is worth is totally insane if you ask me.
What other questions should I ask the dealership?
If anyone as any suggestions for me I would appreciate it.
I also found another one in Camrose Alberta which is Black, plus Black interior which would be my dream color scheme. It is a 2005 (they advertise it as a SRT-6 but clearly that is a mis print since it doesnt have the stationary wing at the back,nor the 15 spoke wheels. They are asking only $19,000. But it has 82,000 kilometers on it. So Shouldnt I be able to get this one for significantly cheaper then that?
Anyway, like I said I would appreciate anyones insight on these matters.
Thank you for your time.

CROSSFIRES ARE AMAZING LOOKING CARS, BY THE WAY.
GOOD JOB MERCEDES!!!

 

All SRT6's have the Autostick and none were ever built with a manual trans.
There is a lot of discussion here about this but thats the way it is.
If ya want manual go with a N/A Crossfire.

 

Rem-Lor I can tell you right now Canadian dealers just don't get it. Although they would have paid more for the car then American dealers paid it still doesnot justify the price they are asking. Take a good look at what Crossfires are selling for in the states and present it to the dealer. Go in and low ball them you might be surprised. They do not want these cars on their lots.

 

Jsut a side note on the SRT6. I know of two dealers here in Ontario who have them. They are both roadsters with low k's. They are asking $39,000.00 for them.

 

The SLK320's Kompressor models were automatics and the Crossfire SRT is the rebodied version of this car.

 

Welcome to our forum!

 

Here, SRT6s are $18-30k depending on miles ! LTDs low miles are in the low teens to low $20 depending on miles.
I think you may want a 6 speed LTD 07-08 with a great warrenty.

 

Welcome my calgary friend,I know canada prices are a bit high I paid just over 30,000 2yrs ago for mine (still worth every penny to me) if you can knock down that 26,600 to 20 I'd say thats not to bad if its a dream car to you and wish to keep for the long haul.
As a side note I deal with Tower chrysler could not ask for better.

 

Welcome to the Forum & Get an SRT6, you won't be disappointed (Unless a Mountain gets in your way, sorry, inside joke )
My Best,

Hey Bill I think we should present you with the Oscar Meyer Weiner award for being a Hotdog at the Dragon Maybe at WDC.
Hope you are recovering and be careful in that new SRT.

 

Hey there!
The price the dealer is asking is rediculous. An oh-five xfire with 19k on it has a current Canadian Black Book value of $17,000. That's not a price you can normally buy it for, it's what they'd give you on trade-in. A fair price to buy the car is going to be about $20,000. I suggest you offer them $21,000 all in (meaning including GST and all fees etc.) and see if they take it. I bought my xfire 18 months ago and they were asking $30k + taxes & fees. I used the same logic and offered them $29,000 all in (that's basically $25,200 for the car plus tax). I strongly suggest always negotiating an all-in price because it avoids a lot of negotiations on "processing fees" or "dealer fees" which are all a load of crapola. They will always wave these fees if you demand it - but dealing with 'all in' prices circumvents a lot of b.s.. Just figure out what you are prepared to pay, add 5% GST, and do it like that. I ended up getting my car for $29,500 "all in" which was a damn good price at the time... but it was in December and they knew it would just sit 'till April if they didn't take my offer.

 

Here's my take on this thread I searched out an 05 Coupe full load, in Texas, purchased it for $16,000.00 US and had a broker handle the importing and bumper shock replacement ($2800.00 parts and install) , by the time the trucking, modifications, and fees were paid the car cost $24,500.00 It is a one owner with 15,000 miles I found a 05 base coupe in Edmonton listed for $24,000.00, I felt I could get it for less with a cash offer it had 12K

Am I sorry about my purchase NO WAY it was a birthday present for my wife and I have about 500 brownie points to burn
