From the June 03 inception through September 06 there have been 41,036 Crossfire sales in the U.S. Roughly another 20K Crossfires have sold outside the U.S. That leaves current worldwide inventories of Crossfires at around 10K units. Therefore, the inventory of new Crossfires in the U.S. is significantly lower than during 2004 or 2005. Since fewer 07 Crossfires will be produced than during earlier model years, the inventories of new cars should remain modest.

A bigger supply concern relates to what JM Piquet alludes to above - off lease cars. But it's not just the employee leases. During the Spring through Fall of 2004, when monthly "sales" peaked, the majority of Crossfires sold were through a special $299/mo., 39 mo. lease program. Many of those cars will be arriving back on the sales lots starting next summer.
