I am sure many of you have seen this picture. Makes me wonder what really happened. Perhaps a fire started in the rear? I notice the plastic parts gone like the side strakes, door handles. Poor Crossfire.

Uh, no, it's not mine.

 

GAH!!!

i've never seen that picture before!!!

funny how its bordered too...

 

Yah, it is bordered...looks like someone may have towed it there just to be abandoned LOL. Gads, what a burn!

 

Hey, Doesn't that look like SASKINS car?

 

that's not funny at all. ^^^

 

Looks like someone torched it for the insurance money...

What a shame.

 

I hadn't thought about that, stryfox, but that is definitely a possibility. What a shame is right.

 

why? that's smart kinda.

insured it as a 35k car.

real worth is only ~23k.

made a nice profit.

 

::thud::

 

Probably either an insurance scam or stolen and then torched to remove fingerprints.

 

The insurance company will pay out between wholesale value or retail, depending if you push it and don't accept their lowest offer. No profit is to be made, as they are only going to pay what the car is currently worth. If your theory was correct, people would be carrying full coverage on older cars in an attempt to recover full price. It doesn't work that way unless it's insured as a classic. Nice try.

 

maybe they wanted out of their current lease & had gap insurance.

now that would work...if you didn't get got for insurance fraud.

 

I've never leased a vehicle so I don't know about that one. Weather it's leased or bought outright, gap insurance covers the difference in the value of the car and what you owe on it... still no profit to be made.

 

I think this pic just goes to show how "hot" this car is.

 

ROFL :-D There ya go!

 

i agree with the no profit thing...but it's the negative equity that is the killer. gap insurance on a lease solves that problem. you get out even. that won't happen on a purchase...you are sol.

that is one blessing of leasing my crossfire. when the lease is up...i give it back. chrysler takes the big hit.

unlike buyers...they take the hit come sale time.

 

This is a good poster for what happens when you smoke and drive!

 

looks like it's still moving... the spoiler is up.

 

Yah, I noticed that too. Perhaps when the button on the console melted, it triggered a final dying response. YIKES! How sad...

 

bingo! give the man a cigar! that my thoughts exactly. that's what happens when you bite off more than you can chew!!!
