I think Ole Doc is down that way. But 5 owners in 5 years sounds a little risky unless it is priced very low. Why would each run it for a year and then sell it? Hmmm.

2006 Chrysler Crossfire

2004 Chrysler Crossfire Coupe 44K Miles, Excellent Condition

2004 crossfire 11800 obo

http://austin.craigslist.org/cto/1879279935.html

5 owners - not a dime over $10K and only after having an experienced mechanic inspect.

No need to be in a hurry - so many Crossfires on the market

Doc is in Cicero and I am in Indianapolis.

We are both a very fair drive, Larry Hitze is in Lafayette, which is closer, but still well over an hour one way.

Sorry, dude, but I would never buy a 5-owner, white, automatic coupe. That being said, I agree that it should be under $10k if it is thoroughly checked out by a mechanic and driven for a weekend. For comparison, I bought the 2007 in Sep2008 with 12,500 miles for $16.7k and the SRT6 in Jan2008 with 8200 miles for $21k (but it needed $1500 worth of body work due to a big door ding and broken handle). I was willing to pay more for low mileage and the colors I wanted. The roadster I bought new.

I will be near Ft Wayne tomorrow, if in a reasonable distance, I would be glad to take a look. Ft Wayne is the second largest city in Indiana, so it could be too far from where I will be...but let's give it a try. Give me directions and contact info on a PM to me asap....

You might want to do more research into the owners. My 06, which wasn't even sold till mid 07 and had 13k, had 4 owners by the time I bought it in April of this year. So I'm officially this young car's 5th. However, looking at the mileage, you can see there was only one "true" owner. It had to do with the way the title was transferred between dealers (My car spent a lot of time - before and after it's first owner - on different lots). Just take a closer look at the CarFax.

That was a point I tried to make in a similar thread here today. Seems like the Number of Owners is a computer-generated figure and sometimes is NOT really a count of retail owners. Looks like a leased vehicle in some cases shows 2 owners - one for the leasing company and one for the person DRIVING the car.

GOtta read those things carefully!
