I stopped off at my Chrysler dealer yesterday to get my oil changed. I asked the sales manager why I did not see any 2007 Crossfires on the lot. He stated that the dealership had no plans to bring any in, and that if there was an inquiry, they would get it from another dealer, or order it for the customer. I went on the website for all of the Chrysler dealerships in a 25 mile radius, and there were no 2007 Crossfire available in their new car inventory. I was under the understanding that the 2007's would be on the lot on October 1st. It is now October 31st. Is 2007 the end of the Crossfire? Somebody out there in car land must know if the Crossfire is going to the grave after this year, or if there is even going to be a 2007.
I can see it now 25 years from now at the Barrett-Jackson auction. A 2005 Crossfire roadster with 5,000 miles on it going for $50,000.00

 

I just hope that no more crossfires are produced... makes us even more exclusive..

 

25 years from now? $50K wont be much.
25 years ago you could buy a new Corvette for $14K.

 

and 25 years from now, you better hope you don't have problems with the car...

it's hard to get replacement parts in and get something fixed now as it is...

 

I'll take $60k for mine today. Twenty-five years, make that $1,000,000. It's gonna be rare, you can take that to the bank. Less than 1,000 SRT-6 Roadsters made. I should buy a new one and park it. The one I have is just too much fun and turns too many heads to park it!!!

 

I'll post it again...

Cult-car alert! Twenty years from now, the SRT-6 will be one of those scarce machines that will command a prominent location at concours across the country. Just consider its exotic concept-car-derived styling, its Mercedes-based mechanical bones, and its outstanding acceleration, handling, and braking. Unfortunately, although the SRT-6's performance neatly splits the difference between a 350Z and a Corvette C5, its sticker price is near the Vette's. Furthermore, this performance comes only with an automatic gearbox. Customers attracted to this feature will not likely appreciate the SRT's firm ride. In other words, the SRT-6 is destined to be a rare bird.

 

DCX is contracted with Karman to build the crossfires until '07 (5 year contract). There will be '06s and '07s for sure. Most of the '06s were sold in Europe because of the overstock problems with the '05s. 1,500 came to the US, but most, if not all were distributed as company cars to DCX employees. They may or may not do the same thing with the '07s, due to the market and how hard is has been for the dealers to sell them. DCX has had much better luck letting the employees lease them as company cars and then wholesaling them out after as little as 1,800 miles are put on them. That's why you see a lot slightly used ones on dealer lots. They sell much better slightly used. To Date, the rumor is there will be no more SRTS ('06 and '07 model years), so the '05 SRT6s are the last.

 

Funny at SEMA Chrysler did a display of all SRT cars including 2 Crossfires! Imagine everyone is displaying the best and the brightest hot new products and with in 75 feet of the Imperial and Challenger concept cars are 2005 Crossfire's.

 

As per Dr. Z 1,620 Crossfire SRT6 coupes were made in 2005. Fewer than that were made in 2006. "2,016" is a number I see on this forum. However the 2006 SRT6's were not sold in the US. So out of the 1,620 I am guessing fewer than 1,000 were sold in the US and the rest in Europe, Asia.
