This makes me sick, to think what I paid for my '05 base compared to this. I wish someone would just crash into and total my car. Then I can get out of this black hole for money.

When did you buy your '05 and did you research the car before buying it? Prices have been steadily dropping for the past six months and left over new '04's were plentiful well into 2005 at a great price. Unless you are a proud owner who bought a Crossfire the first nine months or so, you should have paid well under MSRP.

It pays $$$ to do your homework before making an offer on a car. There are plenty of sites were you can check value, invoice prices etc. Anyway, you bought the car to drive, don't worry about the current value, just enjoy it.

 

Eh, no new car is a good investment, they all drop in value. But I hear you...31K for a new SRT vs. what these went for in 04 new. It's not the only car this happened to. Even the Beetles were selling above MSRP when they first came out, and now dealers can't give them away.

 

bought my '05 in july of '04, so it was rather new. But, it was hard to pass up, when I loved the way the car looked, could afford it, and they gave me what I owed on my trade-in.

OMG!!, This new srt-6 is just a lil over 2k more than what I paid for my '05 BASE model!!! Thanks a lot chrysler!!!

 

I must say that is one heck of a deal on that car. The black is sharp but I still don't like the fixed wing much prefer mine which disappears when you want it to. Still it is one heck of deal.

 

That car is only 15 minutes from my house. As a matter of fact, that's the dealer I was at the first time I ever sat in a Crossfire. Even though the weather was nice, and the car was parked right in front of the door, they wouldn't pull it out of the show room to let me test drive it. (Guess they didn't think I was a serious buyer.) After I bought mine, I went back there and parked my car where the sales manager could see me get out of it.
From what I've heard from several people, it sounds as though they have a pretty good service dept. I'll probably take my car there for it's first service check in the spring, so I'll be finding out for myself.

 

fireamx...I assume then he has had this car for a loooooong time??? To have a sticker price of $47,000 and now it is down to 29 something is quite a drop.

 

I have no doubts that they've had that car for some time. As a matter of fact, now that you mention it, I do believe I remember seeing it last spring, or at least by mid summer.
Since my Wife and I frequent a restaurant about a mile past the dealer, we usually cruise thru the lot on the way home just to see what's newly arrived.
I've got to say, at that price, (if I could get them to swap our cedar interior into it) I might consider a trade for our Limited. The only problem is its black, and as beautiful as the Crossfire looks in black, I'm just not up to the extra effort it takes to keep one looking good. I'd probably miss my "notchy" 6-spd. too.
I guess I'll just wait for the Challenger.


NEWS FLASH... I just went back to the ebay listing and I noticed that the XF had a 10-4-04 Invoice date. Now I don't know if that means that's when the dealer took delivery of it or not, but I would assume it does. So Kmag you were probably right, they've had it for over a year.
That's exactly the way I got the huge discount on my '04, and why I keep preaching to everybody to watch ebay for the best deals.
If there are any "serious" buyers out there, I'll be surprised if it does not sell. That's an excellent price for a brand new, never titled, SRT-6.

 

Well what do you know, somebody actually stepped up to plate and paid the "buy it now" price for that black SRT-6. I guess there really are some "serious" SRT shoppers out there who know a bargain when they see one.
I hope they find their way to the Forum.

 

If I could get out of my lease, I would of jumped on that bad boy, then instead of posting srt for 31k, it would of said, look what I bought for 29k! And just this last friday, friday the 13th. I was promoted to manager at my job, so it would of definitely been in my budget as a second car, or... i mean my primary, as my base coupe would clearly be my second choice to drive. But looks like i won't be getting this one.

 

I've seen a few SRT-6 Roadsters go for less than $35K! If I had the extra $$$ I would be all over one of these.

 

A dealer across the street is selling srt-6s for $32,790. Still 10k difference with a private sale, so if I can persuade them a few thousand lower, I may bite.

 

buy now... $29,900 for a new srt 6. what a car for 29k.

Andrew, Have you ever heard the old saying, "You can take a horse to water, but you can't make em drink"? I think that's the case with all these great deals on Crossfires that you see on ebay not being utilized.
Even though you can "Car Fax" any of the cars these dealers are selling, I still think that most people are still a little afraid to buy one on line.
All I can say is it was one of the easiest "new car" buys that I've ever made, and absolutely the best bargain I ever got on a brand new car.
All these dealers are trying to do is get out from under these cars that have been sitting on there lot for some time, and they're willing to take a "beating" on them just to move them as soon as possible. Their loss can be anybody's gain who takes advantage of the auction.
I just wish I was in the position to jump on that Blue one on line right now, of all the colors offered on the SRT, that's my favorite.

 

Howdy K...I was just reading the thread and saw your comment. I just drove an SRT for the first time on Wednesday, I bought my wife's Van at same dealer in the spring and that SRT (same one) has been there ever since...they list it for $48K, but with incentive and immediate mark down (to get rid of it) they still want around $39 - 40K. If I can get a deal like the one you guys are talking about...i'm gonna have to take it.

 

wow those low prices are making me sick. i got mine for $42,000.

 

Damn that is getting cheap that means, used they will be mid 20's. Or less.

Hmmm.

 

Don't be so sure. I will never, I repeat never sell my roadster for less than 50k.

 

Saw one on ebay today...SRT6 gray coupe with 1,800 miles...asking $28,900.00...pretty good price I would say for low mileage car.
