Default Re: New member contemplating a purchase.

It's a dealer who also owns according to them the number one Chrysler dealer in the United States. He said that they have a certified Crossfire Mechanic along with Certified Viper and Prowler mechanics on staff. They are asking $13,900 for the car plus the handling and prep fees etc, tags, tax etc. With all that the car was coming in at $16,500. He then brought it to around $15,000.They also have an after market warranty which they say will be a no hassle no questions asked bumper to bumper warranty for 4 years 40,00 miles for around $3,000 minus a $100.00 deductible per occurrence. I took the car for a test drive tonight and told him there were some things that I would like to check out. The car seemed a little figety in the rear end. I know that the ride is supposed to be a little firm, but something seemed a little off to me. I know a little about firm rides. I currently own an M3 with an adjustable racing coilover suspension 600 plus rear and 500 plus front. My M3 with a much stiffer suspension has a softer ride than the SRT-6, but since I'm not that familiar with these cars I'm not sure what to expect. They are going to check the car out head to toe with the Crossfire mechanic and get back to me later this week. He said if he didn't feel comfortable with the mechanic's diagnosis that he would send the car to auction. I told him I want to be around $15,500 including all fees and warranty out of the door. He said he would work with me. I think if I can get it at under $16,000 out the door with a 4 year 40,000 miles bumper warranty included that would be a nice deal. That also includes a loaner car and free oil changes for the life of the car.
