Good night, good night! parting is such sweet sorrow
I have spent the last few months trying to get Chrysler to budge on the residual on my lease. But, with the residual and the loss of the under mileage pay back, it would cost me over $20,000 to purchase my ‘04 Crossfire with 40,000+ miles on it. Though I love the vehicle, it simply does not make any financial sense.
So, I got her up to 115 MPH and hit some really nice curves on the way home. Cleaned her up one last time and regretfully turned her into the local dealer. He said it was the cleanest lease turn in he had ever seen. Good thing he did not check the rear tires too close. I hope she finds another good home that will take care of her.
I want to thank everyone on this forum. Though I did not post too often, I read it every day and enjoyed most of the comments. Good luck and God bless.

P.S. I purchased a 2003 Cadillac STS, 20,000 miles, loaded, extra clean, same price. It is a very nice vehicle, but I already miss my baby.
