The entertainment value alone with this car is worth the price of admission. I'm not talking about all the admiring looks, and compliments and what not that automatically come with Crossfire ownership. I'm speaking of the "Entertainment" that you get everytime you go to the friendly Chrysler dealer. Because you never know what they're going to tell ya next.
I stopped at a two local dealers today, just trying to find a dealer brochure to pass along to a friend who seemed interested in my Crossfire.
The first dealer had two new ‘06 base models on the lot, and even though he couldn't be friendlier, he really didn't seem to know much about the Crossfire. He mentioned the manual tranny was a 5 spd, he didn't know the SRT's only had automatics, and he had never seen one in Alabaster like mine. When I asked him if they were going to get any 2007's, he asked his manager, and he said they weren't making any 2007's. Oh, and of course, they didn't have any Crossfire brochures.
Dealer #2
Spitzers in downtown Akron. I walk in and an elderly salesman asked me if he could help me. When I told him I wanted a brochure for a new Crossfire, he informed me they didn't sell Crossfires. I said, "You don't sell a CHRYSLER Crossfire at your Chrysler dealership"? He said nope, they weren't certified because it was a "foreign" car. I then asked him did they sell Chrysler Mini Vans, and he said yes. I said, well they use to come with Mitsubishi engines, so were they not "certified" to work on those foreign engines too?
He wasn't aware that Chrysler Mini Vans came with Mitsubishi engines, but he would look into it.
Ya gotta love it.
