Hello all. I have a few Crossfire questions. Bear with me, because I really know nothing about them.
I remember seeing a Crossfire in a dealer showroom in 2004 and thinking it was pretty cool. I happened to see one the other day, and this morning I got around to looking at craigslist and eBay. I am absolutely shocked at how inexpensive these cars are now. I even see a dealer offering brand new '08's for $23K. That has to hurt if you paid full sticker a few years ago.
For the 13K I see some low mile examples going for, I could afford to get one now as a commuter.
1) I definitely don't want an automatic. Are 6-speeds really rare? I see a few out there. Any significant clutch or tranny issues I should know about?
I think most of the issues with the sticks were in 2004, but fixed through warrenty.
2) I read something about a lifetime warrantee. Is this for real? Is it transferrable?
Only for 2008 and is the Chrysler limited warranty.
3) What mileage would a non-SRT6 6-speed manual get?
Around 23- 28.
4) Are all the SRT6 models automatics?
Yes. What mileage do they see?
About 2 less than the NA.
5) Is it possible to fit a bicycle in the hatch of a coupe, with the wheels off?
Don't know. I have a roadster.
6) Is the engine the same as any other Mercedes 320 model 3.2 liter?
Yes, specifically the SLK320
7) What could I expect to pay as a best deal on a low-mile (under 50K) 6-speed coupe, any year or color??
$12K - $16K
Thanks in advance!
