No SRT6. Has manual transmission and a 'rear active spoiler'.
Probably a base model. I think he has another 2006 base model listed also.

You're right. I was fooled by the picture. Not a bad price though even for a base model.

For sure. Isn't it amazing what the prices are doing on Crossfires?
20 grand for a new sports car that is basically a MB SLK32?!?! Unreal.

I've seen several of the 2006 Crossfires on ebay like the one you've linked. I'm sure you already know this, but for anyone who doesn't, DO NOT purchase a car through the internet unless the seller provides ACTUAL pictures.

I looked at the seller's website: http://croftmotors.com/ and found they are a legit 5 star dealer. I also checked their online inventory. All they had was a 2005 SRT6 listed at a special "buy it now" price of $36,407.

Interestingly it was Aero Blue just like the stock photo on the ebay ad.

Maybe a case of bait and switch?

There was supposed to be a few 06' SRT's finally for sale in this country, anyone know where, how to check options?

Just wishing to upgrade our 05' SRT IF they put more goodies on the 06's.

Thanks,
DB

From what we can gather, SRT6s were sent to the U.S. and Canada in 2005 only. It appears that maybe some 2006 SRT6 coupes went to the UK.

The one listed is not an srt6. The 6th letter of the VIN is 5 (base).

6 (limited) and 7 (SRT6).

Here is a link to decoding the VIN.
