The Crossfire is a WONDERFUL car and I probably will never get more attention in a car than I did in that Crossfire (except maybe a Ferarri). I'm one of those people that trades cars too often and always takes a hit on depreciation (let's face it after 8 months, what do you expect). I found it interesting that will the rebates out and the new $29K Xfire coming out, I really took it in the shorts this time. The going price (and I checked with about 7 dealers, and they all were within $500,) is about $25K on a used auto (mine only had 2600 miles). I found a dealer that did not know about the new ones coming out or rebates and he gave me $27500 (which in my mind is great, considering some here are buying new ones (albeit 5spds) for about $1000 more). It's too bad that DCX did not put more effort into the Xfire (just from a pricing standpoint). I hate to see such a great car lose such a large amount of $--but again I'm just stating facts--not looking for an arguement.

Early adopters always take a gamble, and I will continue to do so in the future, but there is always a price to pay (as long as you come into the game with your eyes wide open). I wish all good luck, and I've enjoyed the banter that this forum has provided.

Take care...
