Default To sell or not to sell ? That is the question

I have an immaculate 2005 SRT6 convertible SSB with only 2200 miles on it. Was just offered 27.500 for it. Is that reasonable or should I hold on to it, keep it stored in my garage and hope that one day it will be a collectors item, in due time ........

No Crossfire that I am aware of has commanded anywhere near that price regardless of configuration, in quite some time. Last week, I noted a non convertible SRT-6 with 5,000 miles sell for $16.5. If your interested in selling, that price appears very reasonable for todays value. From a sellers perspective

I agree...with that said, I wouldn't take that amount for mine...but that is a great offer....and it is a risk to think this car will ever be a collectable...but it is possible...if I didn't need the $$$$$, I would hang on to it...

That offer is roughly 6 to 7k above current market values for a low mileage SRT roadster. Good luck with your decision.

If you would rather have the $ - sell it, that is a good selling price for you.

It depends on whether it is just a car to you or an immaculate, low mileage, somewhat rare AMG-built supercharged sports car. If the former, go for the profit. If the latter, what difference does it make if they offer $14k or $27k -- keep it. Unless you really need the money, I vote to keep it and enjoy it. Of course, I'm biased towards XFs and would add another if the right color SRT6 roadster came along.

A lot, for me, would depend on what I paid for it. How long have you had it? Are you making money or losing money? Either way, it's a great offer.

ok, we are one year later .. decided to hold on to my beauty (as I don't need the $). Have now about 3300 mls on the clock and still love the car as is in immeculate condition. All I need is a new passenger headlight as that became very clouded while in teh garage over the winter. if anyone has one, send me a note.
Cheers and happy spring to all

You dont have to replace that headlight.... just get one of the restoration kits and spend some time with your car......a little bonding goes a long ways.. it should look like new when you're done..
