Hi,

I thought these stats would be useful to Crossfire owners in the UK and abroad

It looks like in another 10 years there might only be a few hundred Crossfires remaining on UK roads which means they might become a collectable high value car. Cars such as Ford Capri 280 Brooklands are selling for an average minimum of £5000 now even though 3 or more years ago you'd have bought one for 2 grand or less. Same as the phenominally cheap pricess of Crossfires in the UK.

You can tell by the variance in prices that both sellers and buyers of Crossfires have no clue about how much the cars should be priced at, you'll find one going for £3000 and the exact same model with the same mileage and year going for £5500 elsewhere, without any modifications.

There is NO DOUBT that Chryslers and basically any Ameican style vehicles except Fords are heavily disliked in the UK which plays a huge role in why Crossfires are generally not highly regarded but I think in 10 years to come the once in a lifetime fusion of German and American engineering will be appreciated and highly valued as a rarerity. I think Crossfires are dead low on prices so if you have a garage or can store one for free somewhere buy one or two, I garuantee you in 10 years they will be selling for £10000 upwards. In 10 more years probably even more.

Please share your thoughts on this.

By the the way, without wanting the question to go wildly offtopic I have compiled a list of "classic" cars to buy for under £5000 that you will make a profit on in 5 to 10 years.

The Ford Capri 280 Brooklands (any of the last 1038 Ford Capri's built before production ended)
Porsche 944 S2
Lotus Excel (1984)
Datsun 240Z
Datsun 280Z (but would have to be a very good example)
1979 Pontiac Firebird
The Ford Capri 3.0 S

The Crossfire to me shares a very distant similarity to the Ford Capri 280 Brooklands in it's long bonnet and slanted trunk but differs in the wide and high rear quarter panels which to me sometimes look like the rear end of a Volvo C30, which isn't bad but could have been designed better, just being honest here.
