This car is my daily driver, but Dave Ramsey said to sell it, so we are! This is hands down the best car I have ever had, and my payments are less than my previous SRT4!



Car was purchased from Treadway Chrysler in Findlay, Ohio. The car is titled a 2005, but was not purchased from the dealer until March of 2007. I am the second owner. I actually purchased it from the same salesman who sold it new to a retired Army guy. He kept it through the summer, but when winter came and he had to travel weekly 45 minutes to some kind of therapy, he traded it in on a Jeep Cherokee 4x4.
Anyhow, it had about 50% on the tires and only 5,950 miles on it when I purchased it April 2008. If it's any indication of how I drive a car, the original tires are still on it and it has just over 20,000 miles. The car is adult driven highway miles only 12 miles each direction back and forth to work. On occasion when the kids are with the grandparents, we drive it highway miles to church.
****(01/07/10) The car has new Kuhmo's all the way around.
As such, there's still three months and 8,000 miles left of the original 3 year/36,000 mile warranty.
The car is completely stock. Right after I got the car, I did purchase a set of spark plugs, spark plug wires, Johnson coolant pump and intercooler from LET Engineering, but none of the parts have been installed and will come with the car (about $1,100 worth).
As far as I know, there are no additional factory options to the car. The only issue I know of was that the chrome was peeling on the backside of the handles which you use to close the doors. I had both of them replaced at the dealer about four months ago.
These pictures were taken with a Canon Rebel Xs at the highest quality setting, which generated JPGs that were about 4 meg in size. They have have had JPEG compression and size reduction to 25% applied to all of them, which results in some picture noise, but you will notice that it is across the entire picture, not just in certain areas, indicating that they are not retouched.

LOL @ Dave Ramsey

 

LOL@ the weirdest For Sale post i have ever seen

 

I really dig the Mobil1 sticker photo!

 

Bump!!!!!!!!!

 

Bump!!!!!!!

 

eh, don't believe everything Dave Ramsey says. His core values and beliefs are on the right track, but his views of how to achieve that can be somewhat skewed... IMO of course.

This car is a great car and monthly payments are not the end of the world. In fact it teaches self discipline as much as only buying what you can buy with cash...

Good luck with the sale, I wish I coudl persuade you to keep it. You may regret getting rid of it...Maybe.


My $.02 (on credit of course)

 

Thanks, but I was already committed to heading down this path. Dave just helped it along with some forms and organization.

It's always irritated me to have a car payment to haul myself back and forth to work...I don't go cruising or joy riding. Home to work, work to home, 25 miles round trip.

Nope, for me its back to cash cars where I have more money to do the things I am more interested in (time with family, home automation, woodworking, etc.)

Have a great day!

 

I agree, debt free is the way to live. By staying out of debt you are investing in your freedom, freedom never goes down in value.

 

Thanks to those that looked at my post, and CrossfireForum.org for letting us post.

The SRT6 is pending sale for a buyer in south Arizona.

Hang tight for more news!

 

I'm from S Arizona, and I was drinking a lot the other night.

I didn't buy the car did I???

 

No sir, you did not.

 

Still haven't heard if the deal went through?
New SRT owner, you there???

 

Long story, but his bank messed up the cashier's check to my bank...

But all things work for good, as the prospective buyer found out his employment contract ends this month.

So I'm happy that he does not have a new car payment to contend with.

Anyhow, it's back on the block at the reduced price of $19,400!

 

Dang.
Sorry to hear that for both of you.
Good luck on the sale!

 

Thanks. I hope it finds a loving owner soon!

 

Price reduced to $17,500, with new tires all the way around now!

 

BIG price drop!

Now asking only $14,900 for the Crossfire!!!

As noted in the original post, it has new tires all the way around, and now has almost 28,000 miles on it.

 

WOW, I want to buy it so bad but I've got so many irons in the fire. The price is SO right. Cant' believe this is still fore sale. Good luck with the sale!

 

Thanks! I had been previously holding the price a little higher, but then called my credit union the other day and I owe a little over $15,000, so I'd be taking a little loss.

But right now, getting out of debt is more important....and the lack of a car payment and insurance will really help that out!
