Unless the dealers step it up and start getting their shot back in order I foresee these cars going the way of the dinosaur in a decade.
If this becomes reality .... and Crossfire prices really start to tank, then there will always be owners that will buy a 2nd and 3rd car just for parts. I personally would not have a problem picking up a roadster down the line for that hasn't been maintained, or has been run out to 150000 miles, for much depreciated $$ just to get mine repaired and kept "perfect". I could use what I needed and part the rest out on ebay ..... Besides, if 10 yrs down the road, there is only 400 SRT roadsters left, the ones in great shape and reasonably low miles, we could see them come up on Mecum auctions occasionally. So don't panic ... and enjoy your car, and keep it "perfect" if you can afford to do it .....
