Default Odd xfire on Ebay - SRT6 with manual?

Hi all,

You don't know me yet but you will. First post, but I've been trolling this awesome site for a few weeks now. Getting ready to pick up a Xfire for my GF and I in the next few weeks. Due to my OCD with cars I've been researching and reading non stop about the xfire's and all there is to know about them. I came across this one on Ebay and it has me scratching my head. SRT and AMG badges, but Limited wheels and interior.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chrysler-Crossfire-Limited-2006-Crossfire-Special-Edition-Convertible-6-speed-heated-seats-loaded-/251265004766?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item3a808fb4de#v4-43
Does this make sense to anybody? Or is something not right here?

Thanks, and I will post more info on our upcoming purchase soon. Not to let the cat out of the bag early, but we are buying it from a very active member here.

Jeff

Not an SRT6. Just a limited. "Special addition". ????

"special edition" is this what Chrysler called the two tone seat option?

Well, they had one with SRT wheels and I believe a seat option. I don't think that is one. But I'm not up on limited

Sweet deal on a clean looking low mileage roadster and a 6 speed too
I hope to find this kind of deal in a couple of years when I'm ready to sell my coupe for a 6 speed roadster

Glad he edited that... Stated stock exhaust sounded great.. then went on to talk about the Magnaflow exhaust.. LOL. Think the "I'm an AMG SRT6" would have to go.. LOL.

Hmm.. ran some numbers.. finish paying mine off.. should then be easy to finance with Wells Fargo.. 4 yrs at 385 a month @ 15k $85 a month over my current payment..

You should check out Penfed.org not too many places can beat the interest rate. I've used them for the past 3 cars. 1.74% for used cars.

Wells currently holds the note on my car and her Tahoe so it was just a quick call to see about paying mine off and getting a pre-approval for the amount. Not an issue for now though.. LOL. It's all good.. there will be more to come..

The easy answer to "What is a Special Edition" is:

A special edition is a base Roadster with RED paint, satin side stakes, and satin door handles.
The rims were from the SRT6 (or sure look like it).
One odd thing is, the SE was available with an Automatic as an option - the Base was not.

The SE had:
The Base's el cheapo sound system
The Base's Manually adjustable cloth seats
No Chrome door trim
No fog lights
All the black trim of the base

In pictures and in person, I noticed that the SE had a deeper Red color than the limited.
I had a picture of my red limited sitting next to an SE on a lot and you could see the difference.

Yes, same wheels...only difference was the insides of the SE were painted grey. I've suspected the SE was a product of Chrysler getting rid of large quantity of parts they had been storing. And yes, the reds are different. The SE is a deeper/darker red.
