Default NOT MINE but looks like a good deal on a clean unmolested low mileage SRT6 roadster

This 2005 SRT6 roadster just came up for sale in Ft. Myers FL. It looks to be a clean unmolested low mileage vehicle priced very reasonably.

Low mileage? I guess for the year it is, my car has 26,000 miles on it and I think it's getting up there. I guess I will have to reset my thoughts on what is and what isn't a high miler.

get the vin, google it, carfax it, get an AutoCheck done on it. These guys buy at auction, have their own in house techs look them over and sell them. The one i bought needed some work done before Chrysler would sell me an extended warranty on the vehicle. That work cost me an extra $1200 before spending the $3300 on the Warranty.

They only like to use their own finance company. I paid cash for the car so that wasnt an issue but initially i was pre-approved by RoadLoans, which they didnt want to use because of all the hoops they would have to jump through.

If the car checks out and is in good shape then i wouldnt hesitate. Its the first time i really bought a vehicle from a small private lot, so i was kind of naive to the process.


Since they noted that the vehicle was reported stolen at one point, I would make sure that gets fully explained before pulling the trigger.

Franc, I have the CarFax report on this car and can e-mail it to you. PM me with your e-mail address if you want to have it.

PS - I was seriously considering buying this SRT6 for Cindy but my cash flow is just terrible at this time of year.

We are thinking of becoming a one crossfire family. She will not drive a stickshift. I wouldn't mind an SRT as a daily driver So long as it is a roadster.. So a compromise is in order.

No, I am not happy about it.

But I have a devious plan in mind. We sell her SRT coupe and buy a nice roadster. We put a high pruice on my roadster. And then, for some reason, no one wants to buy my Crossfire.

As for the beatiings I am begining to like it. After all, then I get to watch her @ss all the way home.

Looks like they have 3 Crossfires on the lot right now, 1 SRT6 coupe, 1 SRT6 roadster, 1 limited.

I wonder why they have the wrong wheels on the SRT6 Coupe. Also, they claim that only 2016 were made. I thought it was over 3000 instead.

I doubt they would invest in wheels. They are selling whatever they bought at aution. However As you have noticed,,,, That SRT may actually be an NA.

For instance, here is a roadster with a rare Hardtop option.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chrysler-Crossfire-SRT-6-Roadster-2-Door-2005-chrysler-crossfire-srt-6-/251357079298?forcerrptr=true&hash=item3a860ca702&item=251357079298&pt=US_Cars_Trucks#ht_310wt_1170

As for total SRTproduction.. About 2000 Coupes and just under 1000 Ragtops. But dealers seldom have such facts on cars right

That's about the right number for coupes.

The numbers that are usually quoted are 2016 coupes and 924 (or is that 928) roadsters. Any way the total produced for world wide distribution was around 2940. Break it down to colors and it can be a pretty small number.

Well, Wally dropped the hammer today. Looks like that cash burning a hole in my pocket is going for a new Friction feeder device.

Bad news for the Crossfire collection but at least we have some new business coming in.

Listen ya'll. Go to Wal-Mart and buy roasted chicken at the deli. This feeder attachment is $16k and I need to make it back while folks are giving their SRT's away!

I just noticed that they have some information from somewhere that this car may have been stolen at some point. Quote; "Please note this in February 2006 this vehicle was reported stolen. The title is clear though and shows no theft history. We are researching this information to validate the claim." I wonder if they have the answer yet. Even if it was only for a short time, I am sure that anyone that stole this car would have not been to kind to it. The seller also lists a "Wood Trim Appearance Package" on the car. I don't see any wood in any of the photos. Looks like a standard SRT interior to me. They also have a copy of the MSRP that does not show any wood trim package on this car. Don't think Chrysler ever offered one on the XF but I really don't know. Just a few ?'s I would have if I was seriously considering this car.

Wood trim.....
Never factory Offered from Chrysler
There were dozens of wood trim aftermarket kits available for a while. My wife put one in her SRT.
Not worth the trouble but, she likes it.

Pulled the trigger on the roadster. I've had Crossfires since 2005, but this is the first SRT. Having it delivered and it should be here on Wed. It will join a 2007 limited roadster with 27k miles. Looking forward to the SRT.
