Looks like a nice unmolested SRT6 Roadster . . . 82,500 miles. I noticed a broken cupholder and a missing ashtray cover . . . Price is right and many fun miles left in this one . . . Click on "photos" on the right side of the webpage . . .

2005 Chrysler Crossfire - Used Convertible South Amboy NJ | Tri State Motor Group

Too far away for me . . . Good luck.

I know that looking at the CarFax report it has been looking for a new loving home for about a year. There is one accident (says damage to the right side) back in 2006. I see several minor issues in the photos but don't really see any major problems jumping out at me.

Are you close enough to get a look at it??

It bothers me that someone owned it and didn't fix the cupholder (or put a bin in) and also damaged or at least didn't fix the coin holder/ashtray.

Kinda makes me wonder about how well they kept up with oil changes and other stuff over 82,000 miles. It COULD be a good buy, a non-raced, non-modded car; but it also could be a neglected car. I can just see them tellling some shop, "ah, put 10W30 in it, that's what dad used..."

How does one know?

Thanks for the lead RETS . . . That looks like it would be a decent deal but it needs some TCL . . .

I couldn't get this car out of my mind . . . the dealer agreed they would make a deal at $10,000.00 so I hired a professional car inspection company to check it out . . . Used Car Inspection : Pre Purchase Auto Inspection : LemonSquad These guys were really good. They were on site inspecting the car within hours of the time I ordered the inspection. They provided me with a very detailed report including more than 20 accompanying high resolution photos. I was VERY happy with their inspection service. Unfortunately, I was NOT so happy with the results.

Turns out this SRT6 is a real rat that has obviously been rode hard and put away wet too many times. It needs LOTS of parts and a significant amount of refurbishing work. It's just not an economically feasible purchase even at $10,000.00. Stay Away . . .

Now I'm looking at an SRT6 roadster in NC . . . I will post a new thread about that one . . .

UPDATE:

Well . . . I've always been a sucker for a damsel in distress . . . Now it IS mine!

I bought this SRT6 (actually I STOLE it!) for $7,500.00! It's being shipped down to me in FL. A nice labor of love rescue project that will keep me out of the bars and keep me from chasing women. I can't run as fast as I used to so I haven't been able to catch any in years!

I'm looking forward to making this a rewarding winter "project". It needs some parts, some TLC and some refurbishing. I figure about 4 - 5 months and about $4,500.00 will have it looking good and running great again!
