Hi all, newbie here. I'm a Buick guy at heart with a GN and project '70 GS 455 4-spd in the garage. I saw one of these while shopping for a car for my 16 yo. daughter, and fell in love when I found out the selling prices. Yes I've tried to talk her into an XF (did I say that right?) but she needs more seats. My wife has decided to downsize from a Mountaineer SUV and wants the '04 we saw w/ 48k miles for under $11k. If she doesn't buy it, I will. If she does, I will look for an '05 SRT. So what should I look for when buying? I would like to stay as far under $15k as possible. Thx.

 

Welcome.

Well these cars are a great deal. And now more than ever!

Try to find one with low miles and have a private party inspect. I dont trust dealers much anymore.

 

Welcome! Just hop over to the SRT section of this forum and spend some time looking at what is being discussed. I too love the GN's but for the money, you cant beat a SRT6.

 

My daughter got her XF when she was 16 1/2 and would not part with it. It is the one with the lambo doors below.

 

Welcome aboard, and enjoy the ride. You've come to a good place.

 

Welcome and good luck in your search.

 

Welcome and yes, definitely stop by the SRT6 area! What better deal is there than purchasing a 1 of 2,016 (before all of the wrecked ones) car with a hand-built AMG engine, AMG drivetrain, 0-60 times under 5 seconds, low miles, Karmann body, for the price of a used Honda Accord?

 

I know, I'm blown away. It was hard for me to believe as this owner was telling me about this. I asked him more than once was he sure he was telling me the right price.

 

Welcome aboard and nice to know that you have to nice classic cars! The GN was the king when it came out and was fun to drive. The SRT-6 is a sleeper to say the least. People at the track are amazed of how well they perform with just a few simple mods. Anyway, good luck searching and hopefully you find that special Crossfire that you'll get to love like we have.

 

I hope you daughter appreciates what an amazing and hyper-generous dad she has!

Can you buy one for me, too? (I could do with a spare...)

 

Welcome and good luck with the search. I found mine at a Ford Truck dealership, I don't beleive they knew what they had.

 

Or you could go with the SRT roadster and have one of 928 built.

 

1503 SRT Roadster were built.

 

daun,could be wrong about the numbers but I have read them on the forum several times. From memory; srt model years 2005 and a few in 2006. Less than 3000 built world wide. 2016 coupes and 928 roadsters. Please correct me if I am wrong as I believed these numbers to be valid. Thanks

 

I´ll ask Karmann in Osnabrück.

 

Unless you have a letter from Karmann dated after the one on here, I'll stick with 2016 coupes / 928 roadsters.

 

Welcome to the forum. I hope you get both!
Srt in roadster trim is the bomb.
Far as I know 928 roadsters is the number.

 

If you email Karmann make sure you send your phone number along with your message, they will respond by telephone.

 

welcome, I too have a GN. what year is yours? I have an 84.
