The public has shown how much they admire and demand this car, because the prices are dropping like the Dow Jones in 1929. I doubt that anyone who buys a Chrysler, would even ask how many plugs it had, because they always had 4-6-or 8 in all their cars. But, I'm sorry, its a Mercedes Benz. Its hard to give these cars away at any price. But, like I said, I still like it.
take off the chrysler and srt sign and put a mercedes amg sign.. throw it in the mercedes car delearship and it will sell for 50k without much trouble...
no spare tire because you would need two as the rims and tires are different from front to back and it gives the car a unique look which is worth much more than a spare tire and 12 plugs.. that is nothing new mercedes has been doing this long before the crossfire and will be doing this long after crossfire.. what I still don't understand is what the germans were thinking with the cup holder? maybe they all had specific german cups and made the cup holder specifically for those cups..
