2004 CRYSLER CROSSFIRE MINT

 

"232,000 MILES"! That's amazing but I'm not surprised. These cars are in it for the long haul.

Good proof that you'll get tired of your Crossfire before it tires on you.

 

I'm sure this is probably a record for a Crossfire !!!
And his looks just like mine

 

Holy cow! Not sure anyone here has ever come out with post-200K, and only a few with over 100K.

I wonder how much TLC the car required to get there - besides the known issues, our cars seem pretty damn reliable, so I wouldn't be surprised if the answer is "not much."

 

I sent the seller the following message via Craigs List....

WOW !!!!
THIS CAR HAS 232,000 MILES ??
That's terrific !!!

I saw your add posted on our Crossfire Website:
https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum/crossfire-coupe/47936-has-some-sort-record.html

I have the exact same car with 66000 miles currently in Aurora, Ill.
I am also currently the president of www.CrossfireInternational.com the official Crossfire International Car Club.

I'd love to hear more about the history of your Crossfire.
How it was driven to get so many miles on it.
Feel free to reply to me if you will.

Thanks, Gary

 

That's outstanding mileage!
Hopefully this guy gets back to us!!!

 

Gary great work on getting in touch with the poster. This should at least give us some insight as the car behaves as it ages.

 

And the asking price ($6,500) correctly reflects the mileage. Not bad for what looks like a serviceable car.

I wonder how much of the bolt on stuff (alternator, A/C compressor, water pump, etc.) has been replaced?

 

With 8200 on my '05, I'm sure he would simply tussle my hair and say, "Ya got some growin' up to do, sonny!"

good candidate to run into the ground, then v8 engine swap

 

Looks like two records to me. Mileage and price for a clean running car. it would be a good candidate for an engine swap even thought the engine in it is probably good for another 100K miles. You could buy this and pick up another V6 for $800-$1500. Not sure how long the transmission is good for.

 

This gives me renewed hope that with regular maintenance and TLC, my Crossies will outlast me. What a great price for a "spare". If only it was a manual. And if it spent it's life in NE Philadelphia, a lot of those miles had to be "hard".

 

I can assure you it didn't spend most of it's life in NE Philly. It is IMPOSSIBLE to rack up that kind of mileage just driving around there. LOL

 

Must be a typo.. 23200 Miles...
just my 0.02$

 

If it's a typo, why would the car be over $2000 under the generally accepted going price for a coupe in good shape?

I suspect it's for real for that reason alone.

 

Need to sell it quickly in order to get typing lessons?

 

you know, I have never worried much about mileage. Having trucked for as many years and driving patrol cars into the 100K range, I just don't worry about. I have put a million miles a tractor/trailer. We use to run our patrol cars to just over a 100k, with a lot of idle time hours. If you service your car, do the required maintenance when needed, it will last longer than the body in most cases.

 

That's only about 35,000 mi/yr.....that's not unbelievable.

 

And 35k per year sounds like a lot of highway driving. And those miles aren't that hard on a car's powertrain.
Might have been a "company" car for owner, so regular service was most likely always done. I agree with this being a great 2nd or 3rd XFire in someone's stable.

A few years back, I looked at a 2004 Ford F150 Crew Cab Lariat 4x4 that had nearly 125k showing. Turns out the previous owner used it as his business vehicle. He owned a construction firm and was on the road every week. Truck was immaculate and showed like "showroom" condition. Had every option available back then. I learned that he had the truck washed & fully detailed every weekend when he returned home. I should have bought it because it was priced right for the mileage.

There are still owners out there that take care of their vehicles!

 

I bought a Tahoe w/ 107K on it. 1999, not a scratch on it. Runs great. I have about 7K in it. She likes the gas, but nice back up vehicle to have around, and it pulls the car trailer. Bought it from a retired oil company owner. His personal vehicle, always garaged, and always serviced every 3k miles. It's been a blessing with all this snow this year.
