Imagine that, a brand new car, ten years later.

Well, his math on the mileage checks out.

I will not sit by on this forum and allow people to make fun of the intellectually challenged!

 

Hmmmmmmmmmmm, 'Topless' Tim has had his 4000 mile SRT6 Roadster for sale over a year for $25,000 - I'd say this guy needs a real "intellectually challenged" buyer.

 

Well, if any of you get interested. He is on the southside of Indy. Be glad to check it out. But I hope he realizes that is what they were selling for new not long after 2003. So, he placed his bet on this car, and lost, but doesn't know it yet. You have to have an SRT to even think about that asking price... Sorry buddy, but you will never get that much. Low mileage or not. If never titled, and 5 miles, maybe....but only maybe...

 

Not even if it only had one mile & never titled will he get that !!! Chrysler had to give them hugh discounts to get rid of them at the end !!!!

 

Must be smoking, toking, drinking, popping and injecting all at the same time.............

I bought mine 4 years ago with 5K miles on it, garage kept, never seen snow, etc. etc. for $13K. I must have just been damn lucky not to have had to pay sticker value on it at then, 6 years of age.....

P.S. I guess he hasn't checked out other comparables to see if he's too low......or too high an asking price.

 

If it,s been titled it's not New .

 

You all forgot the obvious reason he won't get his asking price.

 

There are some crazy people in Indiana, trust me

 

I would think the person that pays that kind of money would be the crazy person. Nothing wrong with asking high.

 

I have a '86 Dodge Daytona Turbo Z that I bought new with just over 7000 miles. IMO the only reason to do that is to have a low mileage original car to enjoy because if you are doing it to score big money it's a crap shoot. My guess is he is testing the waters, if someone comes along and offers anywhere near that he will jump on it. If not he will put it back in the garage and try again in a few years. Of course the car is worth whatever someone is willing to pay so he may find a buyer.

 

you are correct....as I would take that for either of mine....hell, a few more thousand and you can have them both...

 

Well I just bought a 05 limited roadster w/8600 original miles and I paid 12k even, so yeah smoking crack is understatment.

 

Maybe I should feel badly buying my roadster new for about $35k back in 2005, but it was what I wanted and it is a long term keeper. I made up for it when I bought the SRT6 with 8500 miles in 2008 for $22k. I figure I saved $20k on that deal.

 

I have a mint 2005 coupe (black-auto) ( 16k miles) and I'd sell it for $14K


that would save you $21K

 

Here's a brand new one. Only 6 miles for just $ 53.856,00

Chrysler Crossfire 3.2 V6 BLACK EDITION 2012 Benzine - Occasion te koop op AutoWereld.nl

 

Back in OCT/2008, I purchased my 2007 Limited Coupe for $19.5k. The car had only 1500 miles on it from 6 months of ownership by original buyer. Now the car was definitely a "like-new" vehicle, but nevertheless, a used car. I probably paid around fair market value back then, but if I had shopped around, most likely I could have purchased a new 2008 model for the same funds. But the 2007 was Machine Gray, I absolutely fell in love with the color (and I still feel that way today) and I knew where it was.

I can appreciate this Seller's perspective that he has a "like-new" vehicle, but we already know his car is titled so it's a used vehicle. Lots of owners of these cars, with extremely low mileage versions, acquired these cars as a potential investment. Many have hoped that the XFire would become a collector car and appreciate in value over the years. (Note: I know where there's a 2006 Limited Coupe, Oyster Gold, with less than 300 miles on it! And I'm interested in acquiring an Oyster Gold model. But this guy's asking price is more than I want to pay. Not quite passionate enough yet!) But we know that hasn't been the case. These cars are looked upon as the "black sheep" of the M-B/Chrysler merger. Both corporations have all but disavowed any acknowledgement that these cars were even sold. Getting spare parts &/or qualified service from a reputable dealer is an issue for the typical owner that has little or no skill-sets when it comes to performing automotive repairs. And the insurance carriers typically "total" these cars when they are involved in any kind of collision due to excessive repair costs.

So the only way a Seller is going to get such an high asking price is to find a passionate Buyer that purchases based on emotion instead of practicality - sort of like a car collector. And they are out there! Back in a previous lifetime, I owned Merkur XR4Ti's. Had three of them lined up in my driveway. The last one I sold was a 1986 model (had the infamous bi-wing) that I bought new and owned for nearly 20 years. Car was very low mileage and in extremely good condition, inside & out. Posted the car on eBay under an auction with a Buy-It-Now option that was about 20% above fair market value. Car got snatched up by a car collector from New York after only 10-15 minutes from posting. But I wasn't asking near new pricing. Merkurs never attained car collector status then and most likely never will. Crossfires sort of fall into the same category.

But hey, I hope he gets his price!

 

Just in Carmel with all them stupid a$$ roundabouts.
