Default Howdy! Looking for my first SRT6.

Hello, world!

I'm looking for my first SRT6, and thought I should post here, looking for tips or info on specific cars.

I have a '99 SLK230 now. There's a lot of things that I like about it, but I'm tired of water dripping in the driver's side window, I've had problems with the roof, and I'm on my THIRD friggin' PSE unit and I know it's just a matter of time until this one gets wet, too. They've all been bagged up tight, but there's a lot of rain here in Portland, and it's just a terrible design. Of course, it does have 130,000 miles now - that might be part of the problem. Transmission needs new fluid again, that K40 relay needs to be replaced, and I'm sure there's other stuff coming soon.

I'm hoping that moving to an SRT6 will let me get an updated body style, gain a couple hundred more horsepower, drop about 100,000 miles off my odometer, and lose the PSE unit problems. I'm a little worried about the cost of parts for a car that's so rare, but I'm glad there won't be many others around so that's a normal tradeoff.

I want a black one...the best available seems to be in Lowell, MA. Anyone know this one? 2005 Chrysler Crossfire SRT-6 Coupe - Cars For Sale Lowell, MA

There's a cheaper one on Ebay, with 70k miles, in Fort Lauderdale. No bids, yet. Anyone know that one, or the dealer? Chrysler : Crossfire | eBay

One of those has an AMG emblem on the back, and the other doesn't. It also has an AMG emblem on the inside, above the radio, and the other one doesn't. Is that strange? Which way is stock?

Anyone know of other ones available, that I should consider?

Thanks for any tips!
