I don't think that price is out of line. Three weeks ago I paid $16,700 for an 04 Xfire with a 6-speed and only 9,100 miles. The car is pretty much flawless. They were asking $20,000 on the lot and had it listed online for $18,000. I told them if they could put me in the car for $18,000, I'd buy it. So, after taxes, title etc. it was $17,993, the actual cost of the car was 16,700. You know if you're the second owner of the car, you can transfer the 7/70 powertrain warranty for $150 at any Chrysler dealership. Definitely do that. Mercedes has been making this motor and transmission for many years. It's stout. I teach German and used to live in Germany and I traveled in car circles when I lived there. These 3.2 liters are known for their robustness. Having it in such a light car is perfect. If you get your Xfire, enjoy the hell out of it. People have no idea how much these cars cost. Everyone assumes you paid a fortune for a car like this. It's the best of both worlds.
