Hello to you, Jason L., ChryslerInfo Center Mktng.Rep.,
I doubt that any of our members would deny your postings regarding any issues with our Crossfires, but I, most certainly, would not. Your vantage point is one which we, the consumers, cannot begin to approach and I am certain you could furnish significant information to our group if Mother Chrysler is so inclined. I posted a thread about a month ago inquiring why the few Xfires one sees, are on dealer's lots as opposed to the public roads. The original MSRP's were in the $36 grand range, and a current Chrysler TV commercial now quotes $29,970. The 2004 models, the same as their successors, will be hard pressed to recover $23,000, and wholesale prices are under $20,000. Would these indisputable facts assume that the cars were originally overpriced, or that
the vehicles are unacceptable to the general public? I realize that the Crossfire is a "niche" product,
but the unusually high depreciation would indicate that the car is sub-standard. I cannot see high
fuel prices as an issue at this juncture. Additionally, the introduction of the Pontiac Solstice is unlikely to help Crossfire sales in the near future. Is the Crossfire anticipated to be another Prowler?
Could you provide some enlightenment on this subject? Thanks, in advance.
