Update:
I went to check out the car yesterday. It looked great, except the rear window had fallen out! It looked like the window was just glued to the convertible top, and the adhesive had given out from the Houston heat. Nice work, Carmax. Good luck selling this fir $18k.
Has anyone else had this issue with a convertible? It's a bit disturbing that the glass could detach so easily.
So I wasn't able to test-drive the car, but I drove a gray SRT6, which was nice--but I prefer a manual transmission.

Some were leased to Chrysler employees, by Chrysler, when new.

One other thing, I noticed about Carmax is that they would rather move cars that don't sale to a different location rather than lower the price. I have seen the same Crossfires at up to 3 different locations in different states. This may be a way to get around end of floorplan on older inventory that they can refinance in a different state.

The floorplan lets the dealer carry a lot more cars in its inventory than it can with a cash basis. It pays for itself if the cars are in inventory a short period of time.
The rear glass issue is covered often on this forum. It is a common problem. It is expensive to replace a top if you can get one.
Be wary of Bonham.
Check autotrader.com, cars.com, ebaymotors.com and other online sites and I bet you can save some money.
While some of these cars have problems to be fixed. I don't remember anyone with with multiple problems on one car. These are good cars and I haven't heard of a lemon Crossfire.
Good luck

What bad experiences have people had with Bonham? Feel free to private message me if you'd rather not post it.

20 Better Business Bureau Complaints in the past 3 years. Sales practices, finance, returns ect. Most dealers probably wont get any BBB complaints. What about the ones who didn't complain to the BBB.
