By winter 0f 2004, "serious" (LOL) discounts could be found. I bought my new 2004 coupe for $29K in February 2004. Dealers in my home state where holding out for $30-31K so I took a cheap flight to Carmax Orlando and drove her home.
Unfortunately for those who had already bought, prices kept falling. By late fall 2005, they were being sold on Overstock.com at $9K under MSRP. As some 2004 models lingered in lots into 2006 if not longer, there were some "new" transactions in the $18 or $19 K range.
Thanks Rob, that's what I was wondering. I knew the '06 and '07's went for big discounts but, I was not sure with the '04 and '05 models. I spent the better part of two years researching and driving every Crossfire competitor. It was the Crossfires unique story and makeup that won me over. I feel like I own an exotic, at least as close as I will ever come.
