Default Re: The attention of a car 3x the price

It's fun to see the look on their face when I tell them how much (or how little) they cost.

Since the Crossfire first came out, I have been baffled by the lack of interest in it (based on sales). I'm starting to wonder if the problem is that Chrysler under-priced it. Its exotic styling probably has people assuming it is way out of their price range and so they don't bother to shop for one. Or maybe it's just because it only has two seats. It still has to be one of the best used car bargains on the planet, and one of the most beautiful cars ever made.
I agree with you completely. This is one beautiful car. Ever since I bought my '05 Limited coupe last year, the comments from my fellow Postal truckers have gone from "I thought it was a Bentley"(wing emblem?),"Is that the James Bond car?"(it's grey) to "How the hell can you afford that on our salary?" LMAO!(I keep it in mint condition)..I love this car and plan to hold on to it for quite a while.
