Exclamation Crossfire Oasis!

My girlfriend and I are from Dallas, Texas and we drove about an hour north to look at a 2008 Jeep Liberty we found on the internet. The Jeep was at a Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge dealership in a one stoplight town called Bonham. I anticipated a small dirt lot with a handful of beaters. When we pulled onto the 27 acre lot, my jaw nearly hit the floor board. A place still exists in the world that you can shop for a crossfire and compare a silver sapphire blue srt with an alabaster white convertible. . . and its in small town America. Other than the Crossfires pictured, there was about 4-5 other Crossfires in other parts of the dealership, including around 4 SRTs. My girlfriend did end up buying the Jeep while I had a blast looking at the great variety of Crossfires. I just wish I had stumbled upon this oasis before I bought my crossfire so I could of had some options!

Wow! They got more Crossfires in. I bought my SRT-6 from Bonham Chrysler just over three years ago. The last time I went by there, they didn't have many Crossfires left.

BTW, Bonham, TX Chrysler and Greenville, TX Chrysler have some sort-of connection as they share car ads on their internet sites. Go to Greenville's website and you may see some of those cars.

You and me both. They did that to mine too. The first mod I did was replace the plate holder with bumper plugs. But I'd much rather have a new bumper.

Me too. Mine was a corporate car, 5k on the clock and never titled. Bonham Chrysler was picking them up right and left when Chrysler dumped them on the market. Bonham had so many on the lot that they could have listed them on overstock.com. lol

I spent hours looking at those at Bohnam in 07 when I decided to buy a Crossfire. I finnally weht for a close one north of Chicago. Bohnam had 60 of them with less than 100 miles on them back then. I think that coupes were 18995 and roadsters were 19995 or 20995 I can't exactly remember which.

Just thought I'd throw in my two cents. I purchased my 07 Roadster from these guys last November. My son and I flew down from Toronto to Dallas. The salesman (Jason Boaz) sent a car to pick us at our hotel in Dallas on the Monday morning and by Mid morning my son and I were driving our little yellow beast home. Jason told my the owner is a true car nut. Not only Chryslers. Check out their website. It's amazing what they have there.

Apparently "The Buyer" as he was referred to at the dealership, went to auctions all over the country, Florida, California, everywhere. They had a 2009 SRT10 Viper with only 72 miles on it. The lot was as much a used car lot as it was a private collection, except they were all for sale.

I got my '05 from Bonham in '08 with 17k miles - I was the first private owner and it still had a year of manufacturer's warranty on it. They had just purchased a lot of 90 Crossfires and only had 35 left when I went looking.

They were very nice, but I had to spend 3 hours haggling with then before I finally got my price. I had been looking for a Crossfire for quite some time, and Bonham had the best selection and deal by far.

Damn, looks like a GTG at the Tail of the Dragon.............

It's amazing to see that many on one sales lot. You'd be lucky to get that many for sale in my entire region.......

The driver that picked us up in Dallas was telling us the owner does a lot of the buying himself and would be nothing for him to get in a vehicle and a car trailer and head off to pick some car he'd see on the internet. They have their internet division of salesmen that are in a separate trailer unit. When were there they had just got in a one of a kind Chevy Tahoe that was a proto-type. Jason (the salesman) said it wasn't for sale,, yet. The real collector items are kept in a separate warehouse.

i've sung their praises more than once. i love going over their low mileage collector section. almost bit a couple of times, but then it would bump my 4runner out of the garage. obviously, wouldn't hesitate doing business with them.

Pass the word along to all future crossfire owners, the best place to shop a collection of crossfires is in bonham! Going there made me want to buy #2 ha ha! Of course the salesman that sold to us my girlfriends jeep was sure to offer me an upgrade to an SRT. So tempting even now.

I AGREE with oledoc2u! Such a shame to ruin a sexy car.
