I paid $10 k for a 07 roadster limited with 27k from a dealer. Very clean and everything works. I would go with the 08 after 5 years of production they have solved problems and perfected their product. Have patience and get exactly what you want. Check out all the used car sites on the web, there are a lot of Crossfires out there for sale. You may have to travel but you get to drive it back ! Decide: color interior and exterior , convertible or coupe ,auto or manual definitely go with limited over base if you want all the extras
