Default Crossfire market rant

So I had a SRT6 many years ago and I have been potentially looking into getting into another one or a NA with a 6 speed. There have been a handful locally that have been up for sale. I Have been interested in about three of them but the owners are not realistic with price. They are asking way above book value like a 2006 limited with over 120,000 mi asking 10 grand 😅. And there was another one that was around $9,000 with 70k miles. I know KBB just shows generic values but I don't think any of these owners go by that price. And I believe a lot of them were bought around 2021-2022ish when all the prices were inflated due to chip shortages and such so used car prices went up. My offers which are in the book value range, get rejected by the owners with snarky comments. What I'm finding is that all of these crossfires that I see have been sitting for months and are not selling. 😅 There's one for sale on this page and I saw that it was posted last year as well and got reposted. 🫠 Just a rant.

Well, right now used car values are going up again because of the tariffs raising new car values. Many of the cars, I bought for peanuts are now worth a small fortune. There are not many low mileage two seat sports cars out there for sale. Just be extremely patient and hope an opportunity comes along.

Take a look at this information from Bring a Trailer. It will give you a view of what has been selling and for what. Some of the prices paid seem high, but we know it's what a purchaser is willing to pay.

"Never buy a car as an investment." -Jay Leno

Bought our 07 Limited Roadster two years ago with 17,787 miles for $15K. A year later similar models with similar or slightly higher miles, between 20 and 30K were going for about $20K. Current mileage is 37707. I have no idea what the price might be today and I really am not concerned. We got the car because I've always loved them and the $47K sticker price in 2007 was more than I was making as a teacher. $15K as a retired teacher? A sweet spot and affordable. We love our Crossfire and will daily drive it until it, or I can no longer function. I suspect the car will outlive me.

Buy one in Canada
it will cost you 35% less and in most cases, they’re US cars and most are garage queens
Problem solved

Thanks. Yes the majority of the ones on Bring a Trailer are super nice and should command a premium.
Thank you everyone for the responses and the links. I typically just use cars dot com. Good to know there are other sites I will try out.

My local market in the midwest (well, really more north) seems to be quite reasonable, even with the wacky market. I got mine for 5k (some light body damage and general neglect with over 100k miles) around the peak of the 2021-2022 spike. But even with that spike, the market pricing has been around $6-10k for a clean body and title, lower millage fetching the higher prices, and about a $5k premium for the SRT-6. If it was a convertible, a $1-2k premium on top as well.

This has held true for a few years now, despite the general market swings.

I've noticed an SRT-6 for sale in my market a while ago, it's probably sold now, but the seller was only asking around $12-13k last I checked. That one seemed like a nice deal. Generally the private sales were more affordable and the used car dealers asked a little bit higher than I personally thought they should, so all seems normal up here.

If you are thinking about buying, do it now, Used car prices are sure to go up with the tariffs.

So there is this red limited 6 speed with 70k miles that I thought sold 2 different times. But the owner keeps taking the listing down and re-listing it. This is over the course of 4 months now. Really set on getting that $9k for it. Then the white one I mentioned in my original post still for sale, they lowered it to $7500.

I am sorry that my cars are worth more to me than they are to you. Not.

Since I do not plan to sell, I pay no attention to market. I'll let my kids deal with it when I croak.

You aren't selling yours so why do you care? They aren't selling. There's a reason for that.
