Default Re: Is there a favored year?

My preference would be a 2007 or 2008 model. These don't have the "sticky key" issue that requires fixing. That's offset by these years having Takata airbags, which is under a safety recall to have it replaced on the Driver's Side. The airbag recall is easy to verify whether it has been done; not so much with the "sticky key" issue. Some of the later year 2006 models also don't have the "sticky key" issue, but I don't know where the production numbers start with this change in 2006. While the "sticky key" issue isn't really a big deal to correct, I just don't like the thought of having to take apart the lower dash on the Driver's Side to execute the fix. That's just me.

Otherwise, I would go with feedback from onehunder80 regarding his comments pertaining to SRT-6 models. These just are the rarest of all Crossfires and finding a low mileage version still in OEM configuration (I'm not a fan of "modding" up the Crossfire) would be one to hold onto.

These are cars to drive & enjoy. They are not currently a collector car, by no stretch of the imagination, and may never become one - my $.02. But I can speak for most members here that we all get a thrill driving these cars and having passersby tell us how great looking these cars are when they see us with them. I get lots of positive feedback at every car show, cruise-in, whatever type of gathering whenever I show up with my car. I like driving something not everyone sees everyday. Makes me sorta special!!
