Insurance for a 16 year old is going to be astronomical.. maybe your parents could put it in their name somehow? I got my crossfire when I was 24, and I get a ton of discounts through AAA, have a perfect driving record, and my insurance was $233 per month.

It's also an impossible car to drive in a Michigan winter (tried it twice...would never do it again. BTW, I'm from Ann Arbor Michigan. where abouts are you from?)

I'm actually getting my crossfire ready to sell. It's an 05, but it's a Manual... I see you are looking for an auto. Just out of curiosity, why would you want an automatic? Manuals are sooo much more fun to drive, and you're young, I figured you'd prefer the stick. It's much more "sportier" feeling in my opinion. Automatics are for people that can't drive well, or are old. (haha.. j/k guys, don't get offended)

Well, good luck on your search... but I have a feeling that once you inquire about insurance rates... you may be changing your mind (well... maybe not, depending on how successful/profitable your "ebay business" is)
I'm from Grand Rapids.

I had considered manual but I heard several reports of it not shifting as good as the automatic on the Crossfire. You also get better gas millage.
