Default 2 Year Anniversary/Good Bye...

It was two years ago this month I bought my new roadster. Back then I was so happy I never thought there would be a day I would ever give her up. However, given the shaky status of Chrysler, the value of its vehicles continuing to fall and the recent closure of my local dealer I decided it was the right time for me to trade in my Roadster. I must say it was a truly sad day to see her go. I want to thank all the members on this forum who provided such great advice and information. I wish you all continued joy as you ride around in one of the finest cars Chrysler has ever produced.


Thanks,

Sorry to see you go. Looking at your sig, I don't understand why you would get rid of the Crossfire and not the '99 Dodge Neon.

I bought a new 2009 Mercedes C300 Sport.

I'm sure some may be wondering what I got for my Crossfire. The MB Dealer originally offered me $8,000 for my flawless Roadster which only had 27k miles on it. After much back and forth I ended up getting $14,000.

I have a disorder that is common with most car guys know as "first car separation anxiety". I drove that Neon all through High School, College and Grad School. It is worth more to me then the $2,000 a dealer might be willing to give.

I am fortunate the I have a local mechanic with 30 years experience for Chrysler that has his own garage with a lift!!! He is my saving grace!!!! There are mechanics out there ...not sure I would give up my Crossfires just because the dealers are closing.... I never take my car to the dealer anyway...they are a rip off. I too am have the car anxiety in that it is very very hard for me to give up my 97 Mustang GT Convertible... I will miss her.
