So here is a bit of a warning. Looking at ebay completed listings, they don't show the final price on best offer sales. They just show the asking price. Also, I had done a search on my VIN after I bought it and saw many sites mistakenly simply show it as sold for $18K. So my purchase may have inflated the expected selling price because the selling price was $4.5K lower than the asking price, and it appears no one but me/seller and those who believe me know what it actually sold for.

I did see that the one I bought was listed in the past when it had 11.4K miles at $21K on some web site, and then it dropped to 19K, before going to ebay for 18K or BO. The seller did say I needed to pay the deposit right away because someone else was interested but hadn't come up with the money. So the combination of this sitting with higher price and then no one following through helped motivate the seller to accept my offer, which was reasonable relative to recent ebay sales or non sales.


Now I see on ebay there is one with 67K miles and bidding is already up to $13.5K, when the one with under 10K only reached $13.3K a couple of weeks ago?Chrysler : Crossfire SRT-6

This 67K one is being sold by a dealer vs an individual for the <10K one. Makes me wonder if there is some shilling going on. There is just one bidder who went over $2.2K and he jumped it up to $13.5K right away? Or it could just be one buyer who didn't want to let another one get away. He may have seen the one I bought and thought it sold close to $18K?
