Re: Is the end in sight?
Jeff in Greenville just bought an SRT Roadster in good shape with under 70,000 on it for $8000. While one sale is not a trend, the same can be said for asking prices.
I gather that my 44,000 mile SE is worth about $7500 right now - I'd never let it go for that, I'll hang on to it.

Re: Is the end in sight?
The SRT-6 Roadster has already started moving up due to low production numbers (Chrysler says 928, others say a little over 1000 produced.) Even the lowly AMC Marlin is getting great numbers because of low production numbers. Hang on if you have any SRT-6! I would shorten you 20-25 year comment by about 5 years (15-20). Great investment and fun!

Re: Is the end in sight?
Chooch - And they are worth it, not that I am prejudice. Thanks for this posting. It's about time the XF is increasing in price. After watching some of these junk shows on TV with the tatoo's and bearded wanabee's painting up rust buckets and what their getting for them when finished, it's good to see the XF gaining in price. In my opinion, they are worth much more than a done over Camaro.
Thanks again, for the posting,
Jim

Legit prices. Actually the SRT-6 prices are a little lower than what they are getting in N. Texas.

Re: Is the end in sight?
The last thing we want is for the price to rise because the sudden increase of Crossfires for sale would decrease the current value overnight.

Re: Is the end in sight?
Hi everyone,
I purchased my 04 XF last summer because I wanted a car that you just didn't see everyday. A car to enjoy and take to local cruise nights. A car that isn't a late model Mustang, Camaro, or Challenger. I have owned a 57 Tbird, 55 Ford Crown Victoria, many early Mustangs, and a 68 Shelby GT500 over the years. I can't perform total restorations anymore but I still enjoy owning an antique or collector car. What I see in the old car hobby is a lack of young people interested in antique and collector cars. Cars from the 1930s and 1940s that are not street rods have all gone down in value. I expect to see 1950s car values start going down soon. As we all get older there just isn't as many people who really care about old cars. I expect that most Crossfire owners are 55 years old and older. I hope that the antique and collector car hobby continues and that old car values start to rise. As for now, enjoy your Crossfire for what it is and don't worry about making money if and when you decide to sell it. I enjoy getting behind the wheel of my Crossfire and taking it for a drive. I think we all do.

Re: Is the end in sight?
Although most Crossfire resale prices are lower than actual values, at least one dealer has much higher pricing.
Why would Treadway price the cars so much higher than the rest of the market?
Outlier? Fluke? Trend? … Insanity??

For some reason many younger guys prefer pick ups for which some pay a fortune and have no real use for, amazing. Fortunately my son is not one of them and drives a VW.

Re: Is the end in sight?
True for N/A Crossfires (not going up very fast) because there are so many out there for sale.. Not so much for SRT-6's
I paid $18,000 in 2010 for a low mileage SRT-6 convertible. I can easily get $23,000 today. I'm keeping it in the barn.
