Default Re: Selling my Crossfire SRT6 2005

Dear seller --

You have a great car and you have priced it right. I sold my roadster a year ago with 96K on the clock and in excellent condition but could not find a buyer on this forum even for $10K. Potential buyers look at the mileage and turn the other way, sometimes leaving snarky comments before doing so.

"But", you say, "it's in excellent condition and well maintained!" They don't care, even if you hit them over the head with a ton of dealer receipts. Here is the true deal -- once the car is out of warranty you have lost the ability to sell it to a private party for anywhere near blue book value. The best you can hope for is a trade-in or Carmax.

Why do they run away from a private party sale? Because there is no recourse when something breaks. You can take it back to a dealer -- you can't take it back to a private party seller.

I know you have a great car and believe you when you say it's well taken care of. Too bad that does not matter. Good luck with the sale.
