Howdy friends...Ted from Oklahoma here, recently converted from 30+ years full-time employment as general manager for an interior shutter company to independent contractor/semi-retired. This forum is an AMAZING resource, thank you so much for maintaining it!

21-APR-2019 I bought an '05 Limited Roadster, silver (seems Chrysler calls this Sapphire Silver Blue) with auto and 66147 on the odo for $5000. At the time, it had been in a dusty garage for 3 or 4 years maybe, so the interior is slate gray (almost black) with tinges of OK Red Dirt seemingly ingrained to the dash...HA! Needed a battery, hood strut, back glass re-stuck, and I didn't trust the tires. Bought it from a friend (she called it her 'Barbie' car...HA!) of my now-deceased wife of 29+ years. When I'd bought it, it was past the extended warranty Chrysler offered for the top, so it's very good friends with duct tape at present. Got the other stuff up to snuff, including factory spec Michelins all around. I've put ~20,000 miles on it since purchase and overall am very happy with the value, even if parts are pricey and cumbersome to locate. My only real negative about the design is it's propensity to hydroplane. Well, that and the 'wave' solder done in Hungary on the RCM (THANK YOU FORUM!!!), which is on its way back to me from DJ...can't hardly wait! I'll update my profile one of these days with an image or two. Thank you again for this resource!
