Default Hello, All

We spent nearly the whole year 2013 looking for a Crossfire, and test drove nearly every possible year and/or combination, at numerous dealers up and down the east coast - but nothing seemed quite right and (in our opinion), prices were greatly inflated at that time.
We bought a Viper instead, as Viper prices stay a little more stable (yeah, I know, my rationale suggests a mental health issue).
So, with a vacancy looming in our fleet, we again started checking Crossfire prices, and quickly found dealer cars were still pretty pricey.
I called a friend who is a retired Chrysler executive, because I remembered he had an Employee Lease Crossfire at one time, and I wanted some guidance and an "expert" opinion to aid me in my shopping.
Long story short - he still has it, buying the car when his lease expired.
And it's for sale, as money is needed to complete an older restoration he has going.
Today is July 5th, and we leave Pennsylvania on the 15th, in a rental car to Detroit to seal the deal, and drive the Crossfire back.

Inferno Red
Dark Slate Gray Interior

52,000 1-Driver Miles

We are seasonal residents, spending part of the year in Johnstown, PA (my hometown), where the Crossfire will live, and the remaining months in Lakeland, FL (our actual home) where the Viper lives.

I'll check back in here once we have the car.
