I've probably got the lowest mile's on my SRT 6, 3,168 on the clock. I've owned it for a little over a year & a half, I have no doubt I've spent more time cleaning it than driving it. The main reason I don't drive it much is all the BUG'S here in farm land Indiana. Every time I drive it I feel like I have to clean it up because I can't stand seeing it sitting in the garage with bug's splattered all over the front end, mirriors & windshield. I guess I'm just to d^mn picky, but on the bright side I've not had any problem's with it .

I've seriously thought about selling it because I don't drive it, but I've got around $10K in mod's and bling in the car. I would loose alot of $$ because nobody would want to give as much as I'd want for it, I've got about $37,000 in it and one h*ll of alot of work.

This thread makes me happy that I got a 5 year/62,000 mile (my daily commute is only 4.2mi each way) bumper-to-bumper warranty

Anyways, I have just over 3,100 miles on my SRT-6 but I've only had it for about a week now (and loved every second.) I bought it with just under 2900 miles on it.

I'm nearing the 50k mark myself (It think I just broke 49k last week) and I have hat ZERO mechanical issues. I did have the transmission leak shortly after I purchased the car and it was fixed under warranty.

Cheers!

I might have the highest mileage, but I've been driving the car since Oct. of
2004. I currently have just over 60,000 miles logged on the odometer. It
sure has been a lot of fun accumulating those miles, and I'm hoping to put
way more than that on the car before I'm done.

I bought mine in late april with 676 miles on it and it has just under 3,000 on it now. I bought the car to drive not to keep in a garage, I expect to have maybe 10,000 miles on the car before summer is over lol.

Maybe I should start beating up on mine more. As it is I've schedule every other Thursday for visiting the dealer service department.

Brent I'm assuming you took advantage of the free rental car in the first 36K miles?


And for those who aren't aware - if your crossfire is still under bumber to bumber warranty you get a free rental car anytime you take it in for service so long as you made an appointment

Let's see - two PT Cruiser rentals, nice cars. Jeep Liberty rental, really liked it and I'm anti-SUV. 2006 Sebring, OK but boring. Mazda Six, fun car but didn't care for the red backlighting on the instrument panel. Latest was a new Sebring, much better than the old one. If I'm going to have to continually take my car in for service then the least I can do is drive as many different rental cars as possible. Next up - the Dodge Avenger. The way things are going I should have a crack at renting one in July.

This reminds me, I need to dig up the Rental Review thread from the dead and post my thoughts on the new Sebring.

I wonder if I'll ever accumulate as many miles as some of you. I bought my SRT-6 roadster in Feb. '07 with 323 miles on it. It currently has 1,120. I put about 750 on it last year, then put it away for the winter. Since taking it out of storage on Memorial Day weekend, I've only added another 40 or so. At this rate, it'll be over 10 years before I even hit 10,000.

As I ride the bus to work and frequently use my wife's Ford Escape hybrid on weekends, I'm not putting many miles on my Limited, either. I bought it with 19,011 miles in June '07 and have only added about 1,200.

These could be the last cars I ever buy and I'm only 37!

Man, this thread makes me happy. I was beginning to feel bad seeing that most of the posts on here were from people with 4 digit miles on their cars and I thought maybe it was a bad thing mine is being driven.

For a while there I thought I had joined a Ferrari forum!

If it is any hope, there is (or was) a week or two ago, a 2004 regular Crossfire on A/T with I **** you not... 175,000 miles! They still wanted like 6 or 7k too.

My car was purchased with 24k a month ago, I took a big leap because I traded my 2002 M3 convertible for it. I always felt something was wrong with my M3 because no matter HOW HARD I tried, I could NOT break nearly 7 seconds 0-60 in that stupid thing. I was beginning to think maybe the magazine road tests claiming 5.4s 0-60 were under specially controlled conditions with light drivers (im no lightweight for sure) on a 40* day with two fingers on the dash and one leg in the air. For sure I thought I just sucked at driving.

Just now I was on an average empty city street and was able to come close to the advertised 0-60 time of this car with *no* problem and no particular skill at all from a dig. That put a smile on my face. I'm not the one who drives this car every day (I usually drive my 7 series) so it was a treat.

Anyhow, for issues... I currently have the waterlogged trunk compartment vacuum pump and corroded harness issue, my passengers side power seat up and down mechanism doesn't work, and my rear end whines at just above 30 and just above 55mph. Ironically, the most annoying issue by FAR was the damn noisy trunk latch... I still bless cgocifer's name very day for the 50 cent electrical tape fix on that one.

Unfortunately, I think I'm the only person on here with a battle scar I was parked downtown one day and someone barely nicked my rear left wheel well corner. It is just barely visible and no pedestrian would probably ever see it, but since there are small creases there is no easy fix other than a repair and repaint. Hurts my pride in the car a bit.
