I could go on and on, but I doubt this car even saw service from this guy. The supercharger looks to have had a rebuilt one installed, so mechanically, there is a question. This guy should take my $5k offer and cut his loses. Other than that, I think car isn't worth the excitement....it's a joke and has been the butt of jokes since it first showed it's ugly head. The fact it has moved from auction house to auction house would worry me first. It has seen more miles on the back of a car hauler than street time...so enough of the "Black, Hacked, Wacked Max... It should have a rebuild title...that is what it is worth...
Wow Doc, you know I respect but I have to disagree with you. I thought this car had coth seats but the dealer confirmed it has "leather and suede" which sounds like the most important SRT interior destinction is there. OR now there. Unsafe above 90mph? I doubt it. The wing adds about 80lbs of down force but how much added drag? If it is unsafe then I hope all the SLK n/a and 32 owners have a warning notice on their dash. I have to believe that the Crossfire is more slippery through the air. Maybe We got these wings to bring the drag coefficient back in line with the SLK? Salvage title would be rediculous, the car has no history of any accidents or damage of any type. Lease and repo? Lease doesn't hurt it and the repo hit would be small. Have you considered that a reason this car doesn't sell is becuase potential buyers Google "Black Max Crossfire" which only leads them to this site? If I was the seller I would get rid of the stripes, any mention of Black Max and put some decent wheels on it. As far as value goes it is a nice car for someone preferring the Limited look with the SRT power. My starting offer as I mentioned above would be fair market value minus the cost to restore to original by an expensive professional shop.
