Hi,

I just found out that a presumably good offer of 8k for a well preserved Crossfire 2005 turned out as a false price that was actually closer to 15k after a lot of assumed extra costs were added (including a horrendous 2-4k of dealer cost which I can't fully comprehend).

My simple question here is, is it possible to get such a car for around 10k of is this highly unlikely? I am looking for something that has not more than 40-50k miles on it.

It's unfortunate that your were BS'd like that. But a low mileage 2005 limited coupe will be more in the $12 - $15K range, depending on the condition and accessories/upgrades of the car.

 

I found 22 2005 Crossfires across the country but there were no prices listed. You might have to make a few calls? Use Cars.com and search.

76 of them for $11K and less.

 

The problem is that this is probably still subject to an excluded dump payment of several k, which is not included, then an obligation requirement to finance (around 1 k$ +), and a huge multi k$ dealer fee...

But I will have a look again. You only searched cars.com ?

I got my 04 V6 in 07 with 42k on it, all it needed was an oil change the car was $ 11.500 and my buddy took $700 for the auction fee

 

Here's a great link to one of the best for sale listings of Xfires...

Just out of curiosity, is there a reason why you wouldn't consider an 04 Crossfire?
Same car, + an automatic dimming rear view mirror.
I would think an under $10k price tag for one with 40k+ miles would be far more likely.
(Just not mine)

 

I believe the 04 version does not have the Mercedes transmission in it, and Chrysler sucked in that a lot more than MB. Please correct me if I am wrong here.

You're wrong.

 

I picked up my one owner Car-Fax, 2004 Alabaster Crossfire Coupe with 38,300 miles, in as close to perfect condition as you can realistically get, for in the mid 12K's including all taxes, dealer fees, dmv fees & wacky fees like window etching.

Here are some pics.

You could probably could even fine a better deal. Good Luck!
