Hello fellow Crossfire owners!

I've been lurking here for a while contemplating a Crossfire purchase. A local dealer had an offer I couldn't refuse and I jumped. I traded my '01 Sebring convertible for an AeroBlue SRT6 with 322 miles on it. I think I got an excellent deal and am thrilled. I drove it home last night and it's gleaming in my garage.

This is the first high-end car I've ever owned. I live in Minnesota so it will be spending lots of time in the garage. (I have a '96 Lumina sedan as a beater.) If you're in the western Twin Cities 'burbs and see a blue SRT6 on the road, wave!

 

Welcome and congrats...

 

Wow... that's funny... I traded in a 2002 Sebring GTC Convertible for my SRT6...

Nice color choice too... Congratulations!

 

Congratulations and welcome.

 

Thanks guys!

Now I just need the rest of the snow to melt and a good hard rain to wash the salt off the roads...

 

I'm with you. It is actually above freezing here today - so hopefully it will soon be gone.

 

I traded my '02 Limited Sebring convertible for my Aeroblue roadster...never looked back...
Congrats and welcome to the forum.

 

Congratulations!! You have the best color available. At least IMO!! Welcome.

 

Congrats and welcome. Is it a coupe or a roadster? How much did you pay for it?

 

It's a roadster. Price was ~ $35k. With my trade-in, my final purchase price was $27.5k. With only 322 miles on it, it's basically a brand new car. I love it!

 

I believe there were only 928 SRT6 Roadsters produced.

 

I saw that, too. And I got one! I feel very lucky and I think I got a great deal. Got mine from Barnett Chrysler in White Bear Lake, MN.

 

Welcome neighbor! I live right next to you in Maple Grove. I've also got a SRT-6 Aero Blue Roadster. Melt today, Winter storm watch this weekend. We're used to it!!

 

Yeah...another weekend driving the Lumina.

I'll be watching for you!

 

Radmanly, that's funny - I got mine from there too. Had it shipped to MI 1/3/2007.
Mine had 3,400 miles on it and its black.
Did you work with Bryan Barnett? He seems to be a pretty good guy.

Congrats again.

 

Other than the uncooperative weather, the other bad thing about Minnesota is the state law requiring a front license plate. The techs at the dealership are going to have to drill holes in my beautiful front bumper to mount the plate holder. I won't be able to watch that.

 

Thanks.

I met a "Mr. Barnett" at the dealership who was introduced to me as the owner. I don't know if he's Bryan or not. The owner actually lives just around the corner from me.

I worked with Gary Johnson. He was straight-up and fair.

 

Ah yes, I know about that all too well. Barnett emailed me some pics of the car prior to purchase and there was no front plate. When it got off of the truck after delivery - there was a plate. I threw a fit since MI doesn't require that. Called Bryan and raised all kinds of heck with him. Apparently there is a MN law where all vehicles sold must have the bracket.

Oh well. I put a pewter Marshall plate on the front and made Barnett buy me a mopar bra (front end cover) for it, in case I take the plate off.
Still may buy a new bumper for it - but haven't decided yet.

 

I ran Carfax checks on a bunch of Crossfires on Barnett's lot before I went out there (I hadn't decided which one I wanted yet) and most of them came back as lease returns from Michigan. If yours is one of those, Barnett shipped it from Michigan to Minnesota, drilled holes in the front bumper, and sent it right back to Michigan.

I'll be feeling your pain in about 10 days.

 

True. Mine was a Chrysler Exec's car in MI. It was sold at a Daimler Chrysler auction to Barnett. They shipped it to MN, had it for a few weeks, and then shipped it back to MI for me.

I noticed the other day that they have an Aero Blue SRT6 roadster w/ 5,700 miles on it for $32,998 (which is what mine was priced at).

So was yours a 'new' one?
