I didn't think the extended warrenty on the Crossfire to be necessary so I didn't get it, seems the price was around $1100. A lot of people here did get the warrenty though. I don't believe the Crossfire uses fibreoptics. As for the radio, mine is wonderful, great sound easy to program and read. Outside of minor wind noise my Crossfire has been trouble free and is a joy to look at and drive. Most new cars have problems of some sort (I could tell you stories.)

Shop around Crossfires can be found for $30K, but I would not look for brand new ones (not demos) to go for less. Spring and summer sales will begin to accelerate, the time to buy is now. Mine gathers just a ton of attention, each one on the road is an advertizement for Chrysler.
