Howdy all,
Okay let me try this again. I am new to the forum and still leaning now to use the website. I am retired from the military (after 25 years) and now I am going to Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pa. I have lived through the days of the muscle cars and it is still in my blood even if it’s not in my budget anymore. I am starting my search for a nice SRT 6 Roadster; I am in no hurry to just buy anyone. But, I should be able to find what I want in the next 1 to 2 years. I figure my budget will be in the 20K range. Does anyone have any ideas on what some of the better options are besides Navigation? I have started doing some research on this hidden gem and want to make sure I find a nice one.
Any and all comments, ideas and leads are appreciated.
Chief

 

Forget the Navigation ...... useless! There are no current updates for navigation available. Better to get a Garmin portable and use that. Your budget of 20K is OK right now ..... You should be able to p/u a decent SRT for that. Coupes will be less money that roadsters! There seems to be an up-tick on SRT prices occuring at this time for low mileage cars. Low mileage meaning 10K or less. Research the forums, learn about this great car, and then be picky. Get the SRT if you can, rather then the n/a. N/As are better in the twisties, but for sheer power the SRT is the way to go! Be aware that the tires on these cars generally don't get the mileage you might be accustomed to on your daily drivers. If you get 20K out of a rear set that would be great. Most of the cars came with Michelin PS2's, which are "summer" tires, and are soft, so they wear faster. If you plan on driving during the winter, they are terrible on snow and ice. You'll probable need winter tires then. You probably will get a lot of feedback from the people on this forum, and the search for the right car is an enjoyable task. Wish you luck ..... Have fun

 

Hi Chief,

Welcome to the forum. It took me a year to find just the right SRT-6 roadster for me, but they are out there. The only options available were Navigation (I agree that it's useless and put in an aftermarket stereo), tires (Michelin versus Continental) and color (Black, Blue, Silver-Blue, and Gray).

There is a really nice black one for sale here in Wisconsin in the city that I work in. Here is a link to the craigslist ad. Cyrysler Crossfire Convertible SRT Under 10000 Miles

You have to strike while the iron is hot on these SRT-6 roadsters, because they tend to sell quick. Be prepared to travel nationwide for the right one. IMHO, those being sold by private parties (especially original owners) are worth waiting for than one on a dealer's lot with an unknown history.

Best wishes in your search!

 

Welcome to the forum and good luck in your search.

 

autotrader has an srt 6 with 982 miles on it for about 21K.........seems a great deal to me

 

Thanks all, for your help and support on my SRT 6 endeavor
