Default Somebody should snap this baby up///Bargain

Spoiler alert, it has only 9000 miles on it.

I will say it is nice to see the selling prices going up on our cars.

Maybe, if they cut it at least 50% or more... Ppl can ask whatever they want but what it sells for is the reality. Remember, this car is at least 12 years old and a two owner!

Prices are going down, not up. Asking has nothing to do with price. Someday the srts will go up. Limiteds. NEVER!!!

I am puzzled by the attitude of some Crossfire owners regarding the values of these rare cars. Almost everyone of the very many special interest cars I have owned over the years are worth more now than the day the first owners bought them off the showroom floor.

They are not making any more. That matters.

That logic hardly applies to a Crossfire.
They aren't that rare


And despite the affliction of many Crossfire owners, to the General public, they aren't that special

There are many who could see paying big money for a Studebaker Golden Eagle. But not a Studebaker LARK.


What is a 2002 Mercede0s 320 SL Roadster worth? Not much more than a 2005 Crossfire roadster.

Asking that price is a waste of time.

I recently sold my NA for $900 less than I had paid 5 years ago. I think that's quiet remarkable

And your point?



I said BIG money.

$17 K for a 1960 ( 50 years old right) cars in restored condition? Hardly impressive. And nowhere near the price of a Golden Eagle. A good collector version can fetch six figures. That's BIG money.
Immaculate collector cars on Hemming's are always priced high. But $17 to #29K ?;




My 1960 Impala 348 convertible would go for three/four times that at least. (wish I still had that one.)


Back to the subject at hand, in 50 years an NA roadster might fetch a good price. However, for right now they are almost commodity cars.

Thanks for the link though. I love 60's cars and Studes are one of my favorites. But you proved nothing. Our NA crossfires are not worth $25K after two owners and 9M miles. And it will be a long after you and I are gone before they are.

Nothing wrong with that.


I do wish people would stop thinking these cars are a good investment. Or worse, trying to prove that isn't so.

Depends on what you paid five years ago.


I'm willing to bet my SRT will fetch slightly more than I paid five years ago. But then I bought it right.




But not because it is a rare exotic.


Bottom line, this guy on E-bay is nuts.

There's a couple more on Craigslist asking retarded prices. $25K for a 2008 Limited roadster w/ 13k miles, $25K for an SRT-6 roadster w/ 16k miles. Guess they don't really want to sell or they're highly delusional.

There's nothing rare or unique about a car with 75K units produced.....nothing.

Exactly... Asking and getting is two wildly different things. Remember this old saying ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There%...n_every_minute )?
