You can put it up for sale in the 'for sale' section here for starters. We LOVE low mileage well kept SRT6's... $15k to $18k seems to be common? Some as low as $12k - $14k.

I would start at $20k on AutoTrader or one of those sites and see what offers you get. If you have no urgent need to move it you may get a better price.

I sold one of my SRT6's through AutoTrader this time last year for $18k. Perfect condition with about 15k miles. I listed it at $20k but needed to move it as I was jobless (and still am) .

It sounds clean but as the saying goes a pictures worth a billion words... and definitely supply the VIN.
If anyone's interested I could swing by and check it out as he's only about 45mins from me.

Must admit I was sceptical of the legitimacy of this thread when I first read it but pictures do show the rear bumper sensors for the back up alarm.

As previously mentioned you should post it in the Private - Cars for sale section. A lot more exposure to people actively looking for a Crossfire.
Good luck.

Ah yes but short with an elderly wife scorned is sometimes measured as, too long.
I am sure at 69 there is little doubt in what he should do...

Cars.com Or Auto Trader Are Fine.

Wives Come And Go. It Might Be Hard To Break In Some NOS But A Lot Of Fun.

If You Want To Keep The Car, There Might Be Some Help. Have You Visited Eurozone Auto? Just Tell Them You Rebodied Your First Generation SLK AMG

I have tried to make a deal with Old Man. He wants you to give him CASH or if you give him a bank cashier's check he wants to hold the money for 10 days before he signs over the title and give you the keys. So, unless you want to travel with $$$$ he won't make a deal. I offered to go to his bank with the cashier's check and his bank can verify the funds - ......still no deal. Not sure what else I can do. Just giving everyone a heads up. Not being reasonable.

First time sellers don't know how to close a deal. Many don't have the title and expect the money up front. I have learned to discuss this before I even make an offer.

When banks were small and knew my name, my banker would handle payment and title for me.

UNFORTUNALLY, THE GENTLEMAN IS A LITTLE CONFUSED, I TOLD HIM WHAT MY SON SAID WHO IS AN ASST BANK MANAGER IN TEXAS AND WHAT MY BANK MANAGER SAID HERE. THEY BOTH AGREED THAT IT STILL TAKES 3 TO 10 DAYS FOR THE CHECK TO CLEAR, AND THEY WOULD NOT GUARANTEE THE FUNDS ESPECIALLY WHEN ITS COMING FROM AN UNKNOWN CREDIT UNION. I ALSO TOLD THE GENTLEMEN THAT HIS SON IN LAW COULD TEST DRIVE IT AND LEAVE A DEPOSIT, IF INTERESTED. THE GENTLEMAN THOUGHT HIS CREDENTIALS OF 800 CREDIT SCORE AND BEING A ACCOUNT MANGER WAS SUFFICIENT. I ALSO TOLD HIM THAT IF HE THINKS HE WAS GOING TO FLY IN GIVE ME A CHECK BEFORE IT CLEARS AND DRIVE AWAY THAT HE MUST LIVE IN LALA LAND. MAYBE THEY DO THINGS DIFFERENT IN MICHIGAN.
