Default 2005 Coupe for sale.

I was asked to help sell a Crossfire in my local town. I have not driven the car but know that it starts and drives. Owner has passed and his wife is selling the car.
I have looked the car over and appears to be a well kept 2005 6-speed graphite gray coup. (99048 miles). Completely stock except the windows have been tinted. The paint on the spoiler has a few bubble spots and the windshield trim clearcoat has a couple spots. Overall body condition is very good and the interior is very clean. Seats show minimal wear. It currently has aftermarket floor mats. Engine compartment is clean and motor runs very smooth. Was pulled out of storage this morning just so I could take some photos so it was still pretty dirty however I saw this car last fall before they stored it for the winter and it cleans up real nice.
Seller is asking $4500.
So if your looking for a nice graphite gray coup this one is located in Lafayette Indiana. Contact the seller if interested. Her e-mail address is: Clefevre53@gmail.com

Tom,

I swear we were having a conversation about this car. But it seems to be missing from the forum.

I am toying with the idea of purchase for putting it in storage.

The wife insists I have too many vehicles now. but, well...
Try buying a front clip, rear taillights assemblies, or headlights for a Crossfire.

That, and my grandson, whom we are raising as our own, WILL SOON BE 16!

I am VERY tempted as the color matches my collection. If I had access to a barn vs paying $90/mo for a storage unit I might do it. But I am selling a 2007 Coupe MT6 in machine gray (~50k miles) if anyone is interested. jjaiven@gmail.com

but is the mileage that hurts. near 100,000 miles is a lot. only if there is a detailed record of parts replaced, it may not; otherwise is asking for who knows what to be replaced now or soon.
i know, as i got mine with some 65,000 and have been spending some money to keep it going.
and then, there is location. if you live nearby, you can get a ride with a friend. but if not, you have to spend money in transportation and perhaps hotel and food-and what about getting the virus?
then you drive back and dont know if it is going to break anywhere and are stock midway and what are you going to do? it is a 90048 miles car that you know nothing about how has it been serviced.

My garage guy will “ free inspect “ any car you are thinking of buying..........put on a lift and inspect, open the hood and inspect, 10 minute drive. Gives a list of possible issues.

find someone like this and attach to the ad.

Ya gotta be kidding me - "asking" $4500 for a six speed with 90,000-some miles? That means if you offer $4000 they would sell it.
Even if it needs a clutch, if it starts and runs and has no obvious issues - this is a no-brainer.

I am ready for a second Crossfire, it's gotta be a six speed and Graphite (or Red) is all I am interested in.

Once I get the house built, I will have a third stall..........

Well I did have real interest. However,,,; I have to step away. I had an opportunity to buy a packaging line worth every bit of $15k from a guy who had no idea of what it was. $5K Buy it now on E-Bay; I picked it up 15 minutes after he listed it.

Already have it sold but I need the cash in hand to get it, and modify it, for a client who has already agreed to a $20K to $25K price for a fully refurbished running system. I'll need all of that cash and $5K more to do it. Forty manhours labor and some parts and ,,,;done.

That said, this car at 100K miles is a good deal for a storage put away for later, parts, or use to drive. If one bends a fender or two, a Crossfire is an insurance total loss.

I hate missing out on a great deal, but the business gets first dibs on extra cash when a profitable opportunity strikes..
