The lack of sales has nothing to do with the quality of the vehicle. A used SLK320 with 40,000 miles runs over $40k. The Crossfire is the same car, except it looks way better and is way cheaper brand new. The interior surfaces are cheaper than a Mercedes, but the styling is superior IMO. There's no comparing the gauge cluster. Crossfire is much better. I was considering a used SLK320 when I bought my xfire, and it was a total no-brainer for me. I love it.

I think the lack of sales is due to "Chrysler sports car". That phrase seems to boggle peoples' minds. Chrysler would have needed to do much more advertising to overcome that hurdle. I guess they decided to not make the attempt.

All I can say is I've had my xfire for a year now and absolutely love it. If I was planning to sell it I might be concerned about the resale value, but I don't have any such plan. Whatever price you can get an xfire for will be well below the quality you'll get.
