From the Chrysler Employee Daily News 031504:

Price of Crossfire reduced by 15 percent
The Chrysler Group cut the price of the Chrysler Crossfire coupe almost 15 percent to less than $30,000 to woo customers with lower prices rather than big discounts. �gThe idea is to offer better engineered vehicles at a better price point,�h said Scott Slagle�Chrysler Car Marketing. Auto analyst Jesse Toprak of Edmunds.com said a less-expensive Crossfire should attract more mainstream buyers. �gYou could almost consider Crossfire a steal.�h (Detroit News)


Chrysler Crossfire coupe (manual transmission) $29,920 (includes $875 destination fee)
Crossfire Limited (manual transmission) $34,620 (includes $875 destination fee)
Crossfire Limited (automatic transmission) $35,695 (includes $875 destination fee)

Chrysler Crossfire Roadster (manual transmission) $34,960 (includes $875 destination fee)
Crossfire Roadster Limited (manual transmission) $38,920 (includes $875 destination fee)
Roadster Limited (automatic transmission) $39,995 (includes $875 destination fee)

 

Whats the difference between the Limited crossfire and the regular one? Also where did you find these prices?

 

From the Chrysler Employee Daily News 031504

The differences aren't fully worked out yet. Basically one will come with less options.

 

Seems like the SRT-6 keeps going up & up in price. Everytime I see a price its higher.
I personally don't think price is the problem. Exciting looks, so so power.
Kiddie Car name plate.

 

It seems to me that Chrysler is going to price the crossfire out of the market. You can get a G35 coupe with 280 hp or a year old Boxster S for the same price. Either one is a heck of a lot more bang for the buck. Greed will kill this car if they are not careful. If they increase the hp and come down on the price, Chrysler will have a real winner on their hands. On a personal note, I think the roadster is one heck of a beautiful car and is a potential money pit if Chrysler markets this car correctly. A 300 hp convertible for 40K is the threshold that they need to be shooting for. Otherwise it will go the way of the prowler.

 

It's gonna be hard for them to lower the price too much on the SRT.The AMG SLK starts at 56k...how could they justify that price if the SRT6 conv. is only 40k?

 

I am not saying that Chrysler needs to sell the SRT for 40K. But there is a big space in their product line between 215hp and 330hp. Who in their right mind would pay 35K for an impotent 215hp convertible? It's almost embarrassingly laughable. There are too many other choices in the marketplace to give this car serious consideration.
It is also unfair to compare a consumer of an SLK with that of a potential Crossfire purchaser. You are dealing with two different breeds of cat. The price of a crossfire has little if any impact on the decision making of a potential SLK buyer.

 

But that's the EXACT market Chrysler (with what little marketing they ARE doing) is after!
