Doggboy,

You are wise to plan ahead. Your son may think so as well in a few years when you hand him the keys.

Most of us loved the look of the Crossfire on first sight; I sure did. I never hoped to have one, but general lack of interest has kept the price down. I wish the price would drop to half what I paid for mine. I might be able to buy one or two more.

Most folks seem to save their Crossfire rather than drive it. Mine had about 72,000 miles on it when I bought it, and I've put another 10,000 on it in less than a year - all pleasure driving. Tires are expensive, and if you buy the super sticky performance tires, they don't last well. The all season tires should; I put Continental DWS all-seasons on back, and will replace the fronts shortly with the same. Lots of information and opinion on tires on the forum.

One unexpected good thing - my insurance on the Crossfire Roadster is nearly the same as on the Chrysler Sebring convertible it replaced. I'm sure that is different from the SRT6.

Good luck deciding.
