What is a fair deal for an '05 SRT-6 Roadster in expected condition with 30K miles and new tires?

Color is graphite.

 

17k-19k would be my guess

 

Responding to my own post, the issue is that KBB private party sale book on this car is more like $16K, even with only 30K miles. My bank won't loan on a car if the price is over the KBB book, and they won't budge.

I guess I can just throw out the $16K and see what the owner thinks.

Seems like a heck of a lot of car for $16K.

 

I'm surprised the bank isn't going by retail value! My 05 SRT Coupe has 19k miles on it and NADA.COM says retail is around 20k.

 

Oh well....Good Luck! I hope you get it!

 

Id say around 19k

 

Ditto on 19K. More if it is pristine and has any mods.

 

I think you need to try another bank....the roadster has a 19k rating....maybe they looked at a coupe....

 

The bank just said they use "The Blue Book".

I went on edmunds.com and put in all the info and this is what I got:

2005 Chrysler Crossfire SRT-6 Convertible
33,000 miles
Condition : "Clean"

Trade-in: $14,211
Private Party: $16,367
Dealer Sale: $18,131
Chrysler Certified: $19,363

The bank will only loan if the price is $16,000, since this is a private party sale. Maybe they just use edmunds.com, too.

 

I did a search on KBB, and here is what I came up with:

2005 SRT-6 Roadster with 30k miles.

Private Party
Excellent $19,275
Good $18,275

Retail $21,675

I am not sure where you came up with the 16K figure at on KBB, but good luck finding one in good condition for that price.

 

and tell your banker they are all excellent since there were only 928 made...when they are rare, they are excellent...lol.....

 

this one is almost 24K in Texas!

Hi
"Looking to Buy" here. My take on the pricing models from the different companies, KBB, NADA, Edmunds, is that they are a starting price. The economic situation at present isn't exactly creating a rush of demand for cars or any of the rolling hardware we all desire. In a rising economy a seller could use the info as a starting point and go up from there however things have changed it is now a buyers market and it appears that the pricing models may be a little high and not quite current enough.
My search for a Crossfire is turning up all sorts of good buys that are not even close to the book pricing. The one thing for me that the "deal" is going to spin around is how well cared for and how few miles the car has, that will determine whether I pay book or not.
By the way thanks to club members putting me in touch with people with Crossfires for sale.

 

While I will agree with you to a certain extent, when you are talking about an SRT Roadster things are a bit different with the exception of people having to sell quick. When you think that only 928 of these were ever produced, and many of those are in Germany, England, Canada, Australia, UAE, Africa, etc.. Of the ones that did come to the United States, many of them have been wrecked or totaled. Many others have been driven hard and not been well taken care of. The few that are remaining that are low mileage, and have been well cared for will rightfully bring top dollar. There are exceptions to this, and if you are lucky enough to get your hands on one of these low mileage well cared for cars for anything under $18K, then you are extremely fortunate.

 

Like I said in one of my posts earlier, "I'm new" to CC's and learning what space they occupy in the marketplace. Bmorgan, very good points and I agree.
The subliminal message of buy SRT-6 is having its effect, I....must....buy...an...SRT.

 

LOL.... A lot to take in I know. I will tell you, that on my recent trip to the Tail of the Dragon where we had somewhere between 85 - 95 Crossfires in attendance (I do not remember exactly how many), I gained a lot of respect for the NA Crossfires. While they are no match for an SRT on a straight road, an SRT will not run away from them in the twisties. And when you think of it, an NA has good acceleration, will do 150+ MPH stock, and is a blast to drive on winding roads....... Either route you go, you will have a very fun car to drive. Just thought I would give a balanced perspective.

 

Yes, perspective, it is so down to earth. Threads and comments like yours have made my short time here on the forum most enlightening and enjoyable. I have learned that a good part of owning anything with and internal combustion engine requires great support be it a truck, boat, rv, or what have you and that support to someone like me looking for a Crossfire is value, great value.
I am tempted by many of the Crossfire models I see, some represent a great deal but do not include top of list requirements and others have all or most of my list but are a bit out of my price range.
The hunt continues as I am leaving in three weeks for somewhere in the US that has my car. I'm grinning already.

 

I found the definitive price on an '05 Roadster, check this out.
I guess I should hop on a plane as I have found my "new" XF and such a discount off of msrp. Who was saying that SSB's don't command a high dollar?

 

Nice car! The old system comes to mind 'supply & demand'. Just be sure to run every history service generally accepted (carfax, autocheck). Also, take it to a benz service department in that local area BEFORE handing over any $. The cost of running a benz full diagnostic would be warranted, as the cost is very high and the distance would make it very hard to address any problems. Buyer beware!

Would be nice to own a SRT, yeah it would...

 

Keep looking doesn't matter what the books say...just sold mine last month for 15000.00 with everything included.
