Default how low should I go for

My wife has been trying to decide what new car to get and she saw a yellow roadster and I think she's made up her mind, but she said she'd take blue or yellow. I found a 2005 srt conv. for $18000 with 45000 miles.

what do you guys think, the only bad thing is now I'm stuck with a limited, its just not right my wifes car will smoke me.

There was a recent thread showing much lower prices at auction than that. You should be able to talk him down.

You should be able to do better than that. Unfortunate for some, fortunate for others. I'm not helping my resale value am I.

Check the in service date to see if there is warranty left.... If the SRT6 checks out and is sound mechanically go for it... If there's warranty, comb the forum and get everything fixed that the folks are mentioning...

This is the first I have seen of a roadster priced that low. Grab it while you have the chance.

Good to see you yesterday! Keep us posted on your search. As you look over your prospective car, check the build date on the headlamps (ours have a lable visible on the top). If they are newer than the car you might look for evidence of a front end collision.

Well...I and probably many others have replaced the lights due to fogging, so take that with a grain. Look for signs of repainting, such as overspray. The door jams and painted areas under the hood and hatch, for example, should be just as smooth and glossy as the exterior paint.

You can find a better deal on a roadster than that. I dont have a roadster but I have a SRT6 Coupe and I only payed 17556 with only 18k miles on it. There are great deals out there just gotta look for them.

I don't think they made a yellow SRT-6? It'd be very cool if they had though.

I think he said she would take a blue one giving them two options in the SRT's. Don't know for sure but I bet he may have suggested the blue colors and been attempting to steer her in the SRT direction.

nooooo I wouldn't dare think of trying to get her to get a blue srt instead of a yellow limited, that would just be WRONG and would go totally against my values as a sports car lover.
