As well as more photos, description of what work has been done / issues resolved (sticky key, age of top, age of tires, maintenance history, etc.).

Well let's see. In very large letters it says the mileage is 10,600. The text says the tires are new.. The key does not stick. I have no maintenece records. I am not the original owner. Top looks new. The rear window is secure. I am selling it because my knees hit the dash. The seats are too puffy because they are like new. naturally. I have had 2 Crossfires before this. Even with 30K miles on those seats were colapsed some. No problem.

Tell us why your car is worth $21,000. On Bring A Trailer silver blue Crossfire Roadster with your amount of miles for for $12,000-$15,000. And you have no maintenance records of any sort. That would scare me away. With that low mileage I'd like to know what was done to this vehicle and by whom. Because if everything is still original I'd be reluctant to purchase this vehicle. These cars want to be driven and when they sit for extended periods it doesn't do the engine any good. Our cars are 18 years old at this point and when engines sit idle grease dries up, fluids get old, filters clog up, hoses get brittle...

I suggest to post more info and what has been done (if anything) and by whom. Also, I would post more pictures inside and outside and especially of the rear window as they were notorious for falling out. I have hardly seen a Convertible that doesn't at least have signs of the glue around the windshield starting to detach and then a potential buyer has to calculate a new top ($2000+ if installed by a shop) into the price.

Just some suggestions.

I see stuff every day that I feel is overpriced. So what? If you don't like the price or what he is selling, move on! He didn't ask for your suggestions or negative opinions.

Fair! But as a consumer it cannot be a crime to ask "what sets your product apart from similar ones in the marketplace that are priced lower".
That's a legitimate question and one the potential buyer (me) is absolutely within his rights to ask.
At the end of the day one can ask $100,000 for the vehicle pictured above but isn't it realistic to ask how the seller came up with the price? It's the first part to a negotiation for someone who is interested in purchasing this vehicle...

Every Seller has the right to ask for whatever price he/she wants. There are quite a few examples of extremely low mileage Crossfires on various websites that are priced well above what many of us would consider to be a reasonable market price. A Collector Car will bring a higher than typical market price. Is this a Collector Car - Seller thinks so and that's all that really matters right now. As a Buyer, is this a Collector Car - time will tell when/if that particular Buyer surfaces. Right now, it's not me. But I did look at this Seller's listing.

What I have never understood are those Forum Members that bash a Seller and/or Member for something in their listing and/or post that puts a burr up the Forum Member's 'rectal orifice'. Some members of this Forum think that their time is extremely critical & anyone that posts something that doesn't come across as logical or meaningful, causes them heartburn and impacts the member's ongoing ability to search this Forum for impactful comments and/or knowledge. Like James stated above, just move on and stop showing the rest of us how low on the intelligence totem pole you sit. (Note: Not any examples in this listing, but all one has to do is look around and there are many examples of these.)

And I would agree that a Potential Buyer has the right to inquire about the condition of the vehicle that would support a price that appears to be above typical market demand. That doesn't matter what price the car is listed for, I have the right to inquire about the car on conditions that are important to me. I personally have asked several questions about a car when I'm interested in a possible purchase. (Note: You made a nice point in your post.)

Completely agree. Want a low mile car for not a lot of money? This one looks pretty good. If someone’s interested they will reach out to seller.

not sure how it falls to forum members to tell him how to sell his car and what he needs to add.

I don't see it that way. Forum members pointing out more pictures, details, repair history, VIN (for Carfax) should be included in the posting, is helpful advice to the seller imho.
Have you ever purchased a vehicle without any background info, repair history, not seeing the inside of the car/engine bay/trunk or being able to inspect the vehicle AND not tried to negotiate the price? I doubt it.

That said, I wish the seller all the best in his pursuit of selling a seemingly great looking low mileage Crossfire. Did not mean to clog up the posting and if you guys want have an admin delete all to you "unhelpful" comments. But at the end of the day, this is a forum and everyone is entitled to their opinion. Especially when you are trying to sell higher prices items you should be ready to answer questions..
And just for the record, I am actually looking for a Crossfire convertible for a family member so there is a lot of information that's important to me that was not mentioned (as pointed out) in the original post.
