Default Prices Going Up???

Let me preface this thread by stating that I purchased my '04 Crossfire in October, with 29K miles, for $13,900.

Since then, strictly as a matter of interest, I have followed the prices of Crossfires on the internet.

While I cannot document this with factual data, it appears to me that the asking prices are gradually increasing. Clearly, this does not mean that the sellers are getting what they're asking, but it's an interesting trend.

Any thoughts???

Don

You can only hope, and I kinda wished that they had stopped makeing them. The less there are, the more mine's worth!

I too have been checking in on prices as well. I found an 04 for $13,900 w/ 45k miles in the dc metropolitan area to be the lowest. As far as I have seen prices are still dropping.

Still dropping from what I've seen, especially, and surprisingly, the SRTs.

Maybe it's because Chrysler doesn't know how to fix them. I think the srt is harder to sell because a lot of people don't like the extra suspension tuning. At least that's what most of my passengers have said riding on a rough road.

I actually was gonna post a topic on this, I took my car in for a oil change and seat heater repair and there was an 04' for 12,800 didnt get the mileage but the car was white 6spd and immaculate.

I guess I won't be selling mine for a while I owe too much.
Only good news is I think I found a knowledgeable Xfire place, Westwood
Chrsyler jeep for those of you in NJ,

after driving my lowered '04 for 4 years, my SRT6 rides nice and i believe that just the koni shock change improves both cars LTD, and SRT6s.

It's funny, after driving my SRT for a couple months, I had to store it for the winter. At first I thought the ride was too rough. Now my winter car seems like it is made of jello! I actually love the rough ride of the SRT.

Another great thing I noticed is when your on the highway on real windy day. The stiff suspension keeps it in a nice straight line it doesn't blow around like all the other small cars.

I agree, especially the SRT6s & I just can't quite seem to figure it out!

Look at the bright side. Now that Crossfires are out of production, they can't keep going down, like they have; particularly SRT-6's, which were limited production.
Maybe it says something about my taste; but, my favorite vehicles have terrible resale value. For example, my Crossfire and my Volvo S60R. Lucky thing, I love them.

Hah, the difference is that the Crossfire is a good car.

I know...low blow...but the 1985 Fiero V6 in its stock specification was 2700 lbs with a 0-60 time just under 10 seconds. The 1985 Toyota MR-2 weighed 2350 lbs and was a bit over 2 seconds faster.
