Thanks Peter! I try to keep it clean and maintained as best as possible. I am negotiable on the price as well, I just bought a new vehicle so this one has to go soon.

Nice car! I recently bought a 2005 Limited Roadster MT6 with 22,500 mint miles for $10,500. Almost got a 2006 Limited Roadster auto with 1,500 miles (was in a car collection) for $13,500.

Wow, it sure sounds like you got a great deal! If you don't mind me asking what color is it? Does it have the Two Tone Leather? How about the factory chromes? How many owners? What part of the country did it come from? Did it have any rust or other issues?

Here in So Cal I have looked all around and have been unable to find any other Alabaster White Roadsters with the Two Tone Vanilla/Black Interior in 6 Speed Manual. This car has never seen salt or ice so it has 0 Rust. Either way, I am sure someone will make me a reasonable offer on this beauty that we can both feel like we got a good deal on. Here is a video showing the top works perfectly:

I recently bought an '04 coupe with 350 original miles on it for $13,900. Pristine Texas one owner car with no rust and brand new tires. There are deals to be had on these cars for sure.

I almost ended up buying both, because they both seemed like deals. The one I bought was in Shennandoah VA (had to fly to Charlottesville and take an hour taxi). It's sapphire silver blue metallic with two toned grey leather. The wheels are the silver powder coated ones (replaced one due to a scratch on wheel of about an inch with OEM, other three are mint. Tires had half life but I replaced all four. It was a single owner, elderly gentleman, garage kept. In last five years I think it had maybe 3000 miles on it. All service done at a Chrysler dealership. It's too bad he didn't realize the extended warranty on the top because his had separation. The car had a clean carfax. It had a couple of deep scratches on front cover and underneath from hitting parking curb.....so I just had front bumper repaired/painted, all dents removed via paintless dent removal.

The other one that got away was in Pittsburgh. I thought at first it was a scam but I finally talked to the owner and his bank. It was White with a Charcoal leather, auto. I'll see if I can find the carfax reports and attach.

I see you're in Oceanside, I have a home in Big Bear Lake and looking forward to taking the xfire on the 330/18 some day. I'll have to compare that to the tail of the dragon.

Wow, I guess that's what they call a barn find. I'm always looking on car gurus and autotrader for those low mileage. I think in several years I'll jump after a low mileage (under 30k) SRT Roadster that hasn't been modded.

I actually bought it from a dealership in Dallas (via eBay). A local woman had bought 2 coupes in 2004 with the thought that they would go up in value. When she traded them in to this dealership, one had 350 miles on it, the other had 2000 miles! Both were sold on eBay for ~$14K.

Comparing Coupes to Roadsters is like comparing apples to oranges, I personally would't drive a coupe even if you paid me to.

Yes I live here in Beautiful Sunny Oceanside, this car has only ever seen sand never salt or ice lol. You should check out the snake tail at Mulholland too, that is one of my favorite roads as well as Ortega Hwy and Palomar Mtn of course.

As you can see from my sigline and my personal info, I've been here seven years and have owned three Roadsters. I'd never make such a statement about the Coupes and I can tell you that you are not going to make any friends here saying stuff like that. I hold great admiration for every Crossfire made, in fact, the two coolest personalized Crossfires I've seen were black base coupes. Anyone can buy a car, but it takes some effort to turn the car into something special, and both John/Mary and John did so.

So I'm curious....since it was basically never driven. Did the dealer/owner flush/replace all fluids and new tires (I would imagine they would dry rot or develop flat spots)? Any issues with seals leaking, hoses, battery?

I am not trying to offend anyone, I am just being honest. The coupes look ugly to me from the back. I am just very picky, I personally would not even buy/drive a roadster that was automatic either. I test drove coupes and automatic roadsters before purchasing this and nothing is quite the same as a stick shift roadster to me. I guess it all comes down to personal preference at the end of the day. If they had manufactured the SRT6 with a manual trans option that would have been my first choice. Either way no disrespect was intended, I just was expressing my personal opinion.

The coolant & oil were changed and they had installed a new battery, 4 new tires (which is what really locked the deal for me), and replaced the headliner. So far no issues with leaks, but I've only put an additional 350-400 miles on it!

With that color combo I'm surprised it has not sold. I mean, you have said you are negotiable on price and $12,500 is not far off. (I don't know the market in California, here the car would sell for no more than $10,500 or about that - but like I said, prices vary.)

Thanks, yes I am very surprised too. Everyone says they love the Alabaster White with Vanilla Leather Color Combination. I have had a couple of offers around that price, I am just holding out for someone to offer just a little more. I'm not in a big rush to sell, but the car is only getting driven occasionally now that I bought a new vehicle and I really just want it to go to someone who will drive and enjoy it like it should be. If anyone wants the VIN number or a copy of the history report I can provide those as well, just PM me.
