WTB Dirt Cheap Crossfire - We're talking change in your pocket cheap! LOL
I'm already dying not having a Crossfire to call my own so I figure I'll start this thread so my fellow forum members can be my eyes and ears in places I cannot be... Mostly those of you that are in climates much warmer than my own. BRRRRRR RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR (Yup, it's THAT cold)
Looking for a coupe, any color, any mileage, almost any condition. I don't care if it's an auto/manual, base/limited or for that matter, what the exterior or interior look like as long as it's not been in an accident and the body panels are dent free. Curb rash on the tires... Bring it on!!! 200k on the clock... The more the merrier!!! Flood Damage... A little water never hurt anybody!!!
If you read that and are thinking you've seen one of these on the brink of disaster cars, I want to know about it because its going to be built as the ultimate monster Crossfire. Yeah, I'll leave the AC in it for the road trips to and from meets and gatherings but non-essentials will disappear faster than your fiances clothes did the night you gave her that big rock!!!
Let me know what you all come up with. Hoping to have something by this spring so Paul and I can both show up in Crossfires cuz you know darn well if I show up in the C, no matter how quick it is, I'll still be getting a bunch of **** for it.
Take care

You should make this into a competition. Whoever finds the cheap Crossfire you buy gets to be the first one to test drive the monster you'll create out of it.

I now have a strange desire to go blow-up the motor and trans on my car.
Hopefully you can find a car before I destroy my own just to see what you have in store.

There was a black base coupe in the northeast this fall on eBay, had something like 160,000 on it, I think.
It sold for $4450. Is that the range you are thinking? That is the cheapest one I've ever seen - and I was looking for a LONG time this summer for an "around the town beater". It was the closest I found.
(It sure looked nice, I must say, not beat up at all but WOW what a lot of miles.)

Well, the one I cited was the cheapest I've seen... but there will be more.
If I run across one, you can be sure I'll pass it along... I'm invested in two - and I'm not
looking for a third in any way, shape or form.

oops I posted a comment in your other thread ment for this one but ohh well...
If Rudy really wanted another crossfire... there is one here that I am looking at and it would be zero $ out of his pocket if everything works out.
