my local dealer now has over 20 crossfire's sitting outside on the lot. no srt 6's in sight...probably indoors. of the 20 outside...10 are convertibles. scary. i don't think spring can come soon enough for the dealer.

 

It's the same here in SUNNY California.All 04s 7+k off .

 

My dealer is knocking 10K off 04's. I guess it's working since they only have three left. They do have about 15 05's left though. They have one SRT6 roadster, but won't offer to budge on the price.

 

I'll be in your area thursday thru 1/4/05.Lake Dallas

 

Dan,
Are you driving the Crossfire or flying? I'll be in Mississippi most of that time. I would love to take the Crossfire, but the family won't fit, so it will have to stay home in the garage.

 

Thank god by the time all those Crossfires sell, it will be 2007 and my lease will be up. Actually its crazy the lack of interest in owning one.

Why is it we all get nice comments and compliments on our cars, but nobody wants to actually own one?

I think a lot of people think the Crossfire is more expensive than it really is, to be honest.

 

I don't think it is a matter of whether people want to own one as much as it is a matter of is it practical for them to own one.

 

When I was picking up my loaner, (see: wrecked my crossfire) I was at lapeer road marshaling center (chrysler employee leasing) and there were probably close to 60+ crossfires sitting around.. many had been sitting for some time by the look of the snow build up on them...

 

The market for 2 seats has always been small. But I don't need it for more. If I needed more I'd buy a 4 place cpe. But most people buy the SUV or Sedan.

 

Same here in Colorado, that's why I'm the newest owner of a Xfire Limited. The sales manager couldn't cut me a deal fast enough, way, way below invoice. They had 3 roadsters and about 6 or so others, timing was right.


2005 XFire LMTD Roadster

Went to the dealer today, they had 17 04's on the lot. I got a Sapphire silver blue for 9K off sticker.

 

FYI: from Industry Magazine "Automotive News..." as of December 1, 2004....

Average "Days Supply" of New Cars/Trucks in America: 81days (highest in 10 years)

Japanese Dealers Average: 56 days

Highest American Manufacturer: GM with 101 days

Highest Vehicle: Chevrolet SSR with 301 days supply

Crossfire: 286 days supply (includes all versions)

Ford Thunderbird: 187 days (Ford stopped production earlier)

Nissan 350Z: 123 days

As a rule, manufacturers do not want more than 90 days supply of any vehicle. So there are about 3 times as many Crossfires on dealer lots as Chrysler intended.

like which one off the assembly line it was and if it is a xf or sm or whatever you guys talk about? btw, what a great forum! and what is the 0-60 for the limited?

 

For Sergio44:

Welcome to the XFire world! Your build number is determined by the last 6 digits of your VIN, located on the drivers side dash (from the outside looking in the windshield.) Mine, for example is 003409, which indicates it was the 3409th Crossfire produced.

The 0-60 times for base Crossfires (including the '05 Limited) are generally in the high 6 second range, around 6.7 seconds or so. The SRT Version has a 0-60 of about 5.4 seconds, according to Motor Trend Magazine.

Enjoy your Crossfire and this forum, and set your "signature" for the forum to tell us where you are from and what Crossfire you have.

Merry Christmas!

Fritz
