In Michigan there aren't any Crossfire's so I didn't even know about them but when I went to visit family in Ohio I saw several... they must be a fad around there.
Besides the title question
-I heard people 6 feet and over have trouble fitting in these cars, I'm 6 foot. Is this true?
-I also heard the 2004's have issues. Is this true?
-Why have the prices of these cars dropped so much? They seem to be amazing cars and deserve more popularity.
-Is the SRT (SRT-6?) automatic or manual... or both? I want automatic.
-My birthday is in the winter. Should I buy in the winter instead?
I apologize for the parade of questions. Thanks for any and all help.
I'm 6'1" and "fit" just fine. More leg room than you think. Headroom is limited due to the chop-top design.
04 manuals can have 1st gear "pop-out." I just sold a perfect 04 with 58,200 miles that did not have ANY problems at all.
All luxury cars take big hits. I sell cars and NADA calls it "E" class for the mileage charts---BIG HITS. The car never took off because $35,000 for a two seat "CHRYSLER" was out of the question.
ALL SRT"S are auto, but say with the N/A's for cost on insurance and 15% better gas---plus if you bend it you will not be out as much money. I'm not trying to be your "daddy" here, but these are totaled quickly because body parts are high or hard to get. Mechanically--no problem, the parts are easy to get and are not that expensive. If you do get this car, get full coverage.
I do not get the birthday part!
You can buy a good 04 with miles under 60k for $10,000---several have been on here counting the one that I sold for $9950.
