2005 Crossfire Roadster Ltd, black, 22000 miles, one owner, perfect shape, no damage ever, original tires. They want 14,500 for it> I havent seen it yet, its 250 miles away. should i pull the trigger?

 

Sounds good to me, mine had 42,000 back in Jan when I bough it at $14.5 K

and ...... define 'perfect condition' - that's a dealer phrase

( usually means it currently has no body damage, check engine light, or worn out tires )

 

I say ABSOLUTELY a GOOD DEAL!!!! We bought our 05 w/15k on it MINT condition... Same range!!

 

You haven't bought it yet?......get going...

 

I think it's a good deal. Dealers in my area are getting $16,000 to $17,000 for similar low-mileage cars. See if you can get a CarFax report on the car, and try to find the original delivery date. You might be able to transfer the 7 year/70,000 mile drivetrain warranty because this is a one-owner car. That will cost you $150. Be prepared to buy tires in the near future.

I am surprised that low mileage Crossfire roadsters are still available for such low prices as we have been seeing recently. I'm tempted to start accumulating them and storing them in a warehouse to create a shortage, thus driving the prices up.

 

Should probably import some from the UK - you'd be doing well to get more than US$10k for one over here at the moment

 

That is a good deal. Now discuss with the dealer about the recent top warranty extension. (not sure if this is a dealer sale or not) See what they say if it is, make it part of the deal if they say it isn't. Now go get it before someone else does. Check the wheels carefully if they have more than light curb rash. Starting to learn things about that too. Go!!!!!!

 

For a Limited roadster with low mileage? Right-hand drive?

 

I would get it!!

 

Trying searching Autotrader UK - 51 convertibles for sale from £4995 to £11000 exchange rate about 1.6, 170 of all models starting at £3200 to £12000 all sorts of mileages. Looks to me like people just make up a price. Only 4 SRT's though.

 

I did take a look at Autotrader UK, and it appears that you are correct. Crossfire roadster prices do seem to be quite low over there. Ar first, I was going to blame it on your weather, figuring that there might not be much demand for roadsters. Then I looked at the number of miles on many of the cars - it seems that they are driven more than US roadsters. No 5000 or 10,000 mile garage queens over there!

 

Don't quote me but I think the UK has a higher percentage of convertibles than any where else . Must be our ironic sense of humour
