Default Re: Why did you choose the Crossfire?

I have liked Crossfires since I first saw them, but thought they were way too expensive. I had been driving a '97 Sebring for about 3 years & gave it to my daughter thinking I would just get a newer Sebring. When I did a internet search on "Chrysler Convertibles" I found that a used Crossfire wasn't much more than a used Sebring. I found a couple of Crossfires at local dealerships, but they were a little more than I wanted to spend, so I spent the next 6 months looking online. I finally found a red '05 roadster about 100 miles away on Ebay. It was a bankrupcy repo with 36,000 miles, but there weren't many bids on it. I won it for $12,500. I wasn;t sure what to expect when I went to pick it up, but was plesantly surprised. It looked brand new, I found it had been garage kept, the previous owner had bought it new. I did have to put rear tires on it, but other than that, all I have had to do is change the oil. It is even better than I had hoped. It drives better than any car I have ever owned, & after a year and a half of ownership I still find myself staring at it.
