I've got a yellow 2005 Crossfire Limited Roadster. 45,000 miles. I live in a suburb of Detroit. The car is basically immaculate except for 2 blemishes:

- curb rash on some of the wheels
- a 1" dent/crack on the front bumper

Looks brand new otherwise.

Can anybody tell me what I should list this car for? And what is the absolute lowest I should take for it? I've tried to get a feel for what they're going for, but I've seen a pretty wide price range... from $12,000 up to over $20,000!

It's been garage kept and never seen snow. Paint is prefect, no swirls that I can find.

Kelly Blue Book was totally innaccurate... It said private party value was $12,000-$12,500. It also said that my 2007 Charger SRT8's private party value was only $18,000 when I sold it for $22,900. So obviously a little out of touch with reality.

Let me know if I left out any pertinent details.

Thanks in advance!

 

I bought my '04 Alabaster Coupe with 49k on it in immaculate condition last month for $9,750. I know I got a great deal. I would bet you would be able to get between $12,999 and $13,995 for the Roadster. There is some on eBay right now for Buy It Now prices between $13,995 and $15,999.

 

sweet jesus... I thought "I" got a great deal on this car when we bought it! I figured "This is a $42k car, how much more could it drop?? I'm buying it after the peak of it's depreciation!" Boy was I wrong... It's crazy how much these have dropped in value...

Thanks for the insight though!! Perfect level of detail that I was looking for!

Keep it coming!!

 

I just checked completed listings on eBay for the last month. Only one Roadster listed (out of several) sold. It went for $14,500 and only had 13,200 miles on it.

I paid $17k for my 2005 SRT-6 roadster with 10k miles 2 months ago, and I feel that it was fairly priced. Mine also had curb rash on one wheel plus a small nick in the dashboard.

Based on that, for a Limited with 42k miles and a couple of blemishes I'd figure between $13k and $14k. Maximizing the price depends on finding that person for whom your car is "their perfect Crossfire", and that may take some time.

 

I found one like yours on eBay that did not sell, but was bid up to $15,701 with almost 19k in miles. They were asking too much on the reserve, but at least you know you could get closer to the $14k price range.

Thank you so much for the prompt and valuable feedback!!! I think I'll list it for $15,995 and take no less than $14,000.

PS-what is the official name of that "cream yellow" color anyway? I'm hoping it sounds just as bada$$ as Alabaster... Something about "Holandaise Sauce Yellow" that doesn't sound appealing.

Thanks!

 

Searching this forum, all I see is "Yellow." Kind of a let down..... I was hoping for something cooler too.

edit: I just found a website that says it is called "Classic Yellow." I wonder if that is in relation to French's Classic Mustard.....

 

I believe the proper term for the color is "Classic Yellow".

 

Believe it... These cars have tanked (except the SRT's) I paid $42k for my 2005 Roadster Limited new in 2004, when traded with a little over 32k on the odo I got $14k towards my XLR.

 

You guys think the residual value is low now? Just wait until 2012, when the 2004 models hit 8 years in age I would bet they will sell for less than $6000 regardless of miles.

 

I bought a white crossfire right at 40k miles for 9k and just a few days ago i bought another white crossfire at 38k miles for 10,500. in VERY GOOD condition. So i say you start at 12,499 and negotiate down to 11k.

edit, i just saw that it is a roadster. I think you start at 15k and negotiate down to 13k.

 

What kind of gas mileage do you get with that Caddy? Do they still make them?

 

I'm flying to Dallas/Ft Worth tomorrow to pick up my new to me 07 XF limited, then driving back to So Cal. Payed 16,995 with 1510 miles on her and 6 months of factory bumper to bumper warranty left. Then the 8/80 bumper to bumper kicks in. I would send a thank you note to the original owner if I knew who they were.

 

Anybody know what the official name of the interior color is? Is it just "Black" Or is there something cooler sounding, like Midnight Graphite?

He already did that.

 

He has a high performance luxury sports coupe with a vette motor in it, do you think he cares about gas mileage, I sure hope not

 

I don't think they were Vette motors....I think they were Northstars & the Vs were supercharged Northstars.....

I've owned a brand new Vette before & I still cared about mpg. I've heard some outrageous mpg claims by some (newer) Vette owners.

I'm just curious, If got my hands on a good used one.....I'd probably use it as a daily driver....life is short!!

 

Welcome to the fold Glockster. Nice to see another Inland Empire Crossy!
