Instead of purchasing a UK Crossfire, why not just burn 10
:evil: OK we've all been screwed; that is those of use brave enough to buy last year! :evil:
Not only are we stuck with a car that is losing around 1k per month, but also the lower price has opened the floodgates to Mr average that would have previously purchased the crappy Hyundai Coupe.
It's dropped from TT/SLK league to Peugeot 406 Coupe and any other piece of crap that no one can shift.
Yeah I'm pissed!
Chrysler make ***** cars - we all know that but the Crossfire had the potential to change all this - it didn't! It just cost us all lots of money, except for the people now jumping on the cheap bandwagon.
The Roadster will go the same way - no one will buy this until DCUK hack 5k off the price, and those that do will be royally fucked as we have been. :!:
Do any of us honestly think that we can sell this car right now, today, for more that 18k? :?: If you do youfre fools! I'm sorry to say and this does include myself.
Before deciding on the Crossfire I test-drove the 350Z, TT, RX8 etc.. Unfortunately I decided on a car no one has heard of, or will be interested to buy.
Now donft get me wrong, this is one incredible machine! People still stop and stare, but my point is for 1k per month I could have leased a 60k Porsche 911!
I see people on this forum now going on about how little they can arrange a personal lease for and good luck to them.
Beware though! - Chrysler does not give a toss when it comes to customer service or loyalty - problems you will find with the car are:
Misting front lights
Poor quality leather seats that will start to seriously wear around 5,000 miles
Doors & windows that donft shut properly
Problems with manual gearboxes
ETC, ETC, ETC
My advice is, if you're about to buy one good luck it's a big risk! If you purchased at the full price then show your disappointment by writing to DCUK - unfortunately this will make no difference as we have all found out.
Now I know people will say, "I bought the car for it's styling and the depreciation doesn't matter" - Donft kid yourself, if you had the chance to go back wait six months and have the same car for 8k cheaper we ALL would.
It's certainly the last time a Chrysler will be in my garage! Down to Mercedes tomorrow looking at the new SLK! Yes more depreciation but wont be stuck with a pig no one has heard of & is more expensive than burning my salary as I earn it.
