Selling my wifes daily driver a SSB SRT6. Nice car with 21000 miles, 12 months or 15000 miles left on factory warrenty. I started out at $19000 without much response, now I think it should be lower. She's looking at Avalons and getting impatient, but I don't really care if it sells or not.
The question is what is a fair price?
Bringing this thread back from the dead. Car is FOR SALE (again) with 25000 miles and factory warranty until 2-24-10. Will accept reasonable offers. Purchaser has choice of extras that can come with car. Call for information 706 295 4997

 

Unfortunately a "fair" price in this economy is not what will sell.

Wish you the best, someone will pick her up!

 

Take the car and have it appraised as a "trade in" and then take it home and list it for $1,000-2,000 over that price. That's about the only way the car MIGHT sell in this market.

 

Believe me....he does not want to hear that number! It is UGLY!

 

I tried selling my beautiful SSB SRT6 a couple of months ago. I started at 18500 and ended up going down to 17000 with no takers. Good luck! Patience is a virtue these days.

 

A SRT6 coupe in this market is worth about 14-15K in perfect shape with low miles ( convertible maybe more in certain areas). I've tried selling mine twice with low miles and not a scratch on it with no luck. My best offer was 15,500 just last week, I told the guy to suck it! I put it on e-bay and some ****** ran the bid up to 18,100 only to bail out after the auction ended. The resale on our cars is very disappointing, but it won't change if people keep giving them away. But times are tight and everyone has to do what they got to do. Thank God , I don't need the money right now, so I'll just sit on mine and enjoy! WATCH OUT MY FELLOW DRAG RACERS ! !

 

Mine was 16k @ 26k, so expect to lose a few more grand before it sells. Leisure cars are terribly unpopular in a recession.

 

$15000 or less is a f---ing disgrace to our cars. I understand if someone is in dire need of cash then they do what they have to do, but we (crossfireforum srt-6 owners) have a direct effect on the North American SRT6 market. Its a phenomenon i could write a college paper on.

 

It's only a disgrace if you purchased yours to early. I thought about the poor owners who paid full sticker when I got mine at $25.6K and I sold my Limited for $23K - now the folks buying the SRT6's at $15K are laughing at us.

But - it's only money - has long as I can drive mine for the next 7 -10 more years, then it'll flatten out the expenditure curve...

 

I have even read of the srt6 eventually going up in price, there arent all too many around what do u think? I see this car as the best kept secret. I know i plan to keep mine for a long time

 

I don't really care what the valuie is , but I'm shocked at what I hear, I'm not selling ...I'm driving!!!

 

You are correct about the secret part. I am a member of a couple exotic car clubs and we have weekend meets where I am usually the lone car that cost less than $75K there. It is amazing how may Porsche, Vette, Viper, BMW and Ford GT owners flock to my car and are shocked when I open the hood. The AMG boys just sit back in disgust when this little Chrysler not only gets more attention than them but also, SMOKES most of the cars there on the street when us 35-50 year old kids go out and “play” with our cars. I get torn every week by drooling over those awesome cars, but the proof is in the performance….not the resale. I will be keeping mine~

 

I may do this. There's a Lexus dealership in Atlanta that should allow 20-25k on a full list price trade in.

 

Are you saying they will give you 20-25k if you pay full sticker price for theirs? If so thats basically the same thing as getting 15k for the SRT6.

 

rrright............. or even less

 

You should add that to wikipedia for the SRT6.

 

Imagine here in Australia its even more rare and unheard of. I didnt even know about this car several months ago, i stumbled across it one morning whilst on this website checking random cars specs and prices. At that time i had a 350z, i loved it but wanted something faster. When i saw how cheap the SRT was I couldnt believe my eyes something so beautiful and powerful was so cheap. After that it was a formality. Ive never looked back

 

I tried that at an Infiniti dealership and a BMW dealership. They both offered me 10 grand. hahahahaha! I paid cash for the car at $24.500 and thought that was a steal about a year and a half ago. I'm glad I kept it and can't wait until a local show comes up to show this thing off. I had a guy yesterday looking at it while it was covered at the parking garage. He said, "Lotus right?" I said, no, it's a Crossfire SRT6. He said, "A what? I've never even heard of that before!" I pulled the cover off and he said, "OMG, that is beautiful and must be rare!" I said, thankyou, yes, it is.

 

Still For Sale.

 

I sold my 2005 SSB SRT-6 Coupe back in May with 11K miles for $19,500.

How? Simple. I wrote a lengthy, detailed ebay ad that told the entire story of my car, took 100+ high quality photos of the car from my tripod to ensure clarity, hosted them on my own website at 8 megapixel resolution, and refused to take less than $19,500 for the car.

It took over four weeks, and I completed the sale off of ebay since the eventual buyer and I wound up in involved phone conversations that went past the end of the third auction listing I put up for the car.

Oh, and the remaining time on the CPO warranty and the MAX Care warranty helped the price, probably by about $1,500, based upon what my buyer said.

Condition, description, documentation and a good story are everything. Put it up on ebay,don't panic and don't lower your expectations on price. Write a good listing talking about YOUR car. Be patient. Take and host a lot of super high quality photos AND disclose every little tiny seemingly insignificant flaw with the car in writing and in photos. Detail maintenance you (and prior owners, if applicable) did to the car.

You can get your price for an SRT-6. I don't know if it applies to regular crossfires since there are 25 times as many as those on the market, but the SRT-6 is still a car of particular interest that can be sold for a non fire-sale price. It just takes time and work on your part.

(Also, it doesn't hurt that I live in New England, historically one of the most expensive used car markets in the country for good clean used cars.)
