Default Your Crossfire May Be A Clunker If...

it is supercharged or has a manual transmission!

As I mentioned while over in the SRT6 area, I work for Jack Schitt Chevrolet. And when it comes to clunkers it seems that most people have never heard of Jack Schitt.

Seriously though, according to CARS, SRT6s and naturally aspirated manual transmission Crossfires qualify as clunker trades because they both have EPA average fuel economy of 18 mpg. Tough luck for any NA Autostick owners though since we get a lofty 21 mpg.

If they will give you 4,500 for your car, I will buy it for 5,000. Sell me your "Crossfire Clunker".... I will give you more money for it.

If I had a Crossfire with 250k miles on it, I wouldn't let them crush it.

An '89 Sedan Deville, no problem. A Crossfire, no way...

I'm sorry, but my XF will never be a clunker! It would have to be totaled before I would consider it one (and I would buy another XF in that event).

Nice tongue in cheek! It seems you don't know Jack Schitt. Go back to the Chevy forum.

Dunno what the EPA is testing, or maybe I just drive like an old woman, but I'm getting a hell of a lot more than 18MPG with my manual roadster limited.

Best I got was 32 MPG. I calculated this starting with a full tank and clearing the mileage.... drove 300 miles from San Antonio to Dallas. Got to Dallas and filled up the tank. Calculated the gallons I put in divided by the mileage and got 32 MPG. Of course it was set at Cruise control 75MPH with nobody on the road. Just a straight shot... no slowing down and speeding up for people.

I got 28 MPG coming back with traffic and other cars in my way.
