2005 SRT6 Crossfire

Can't say I've seen a whole lot of low low mileage SRT6 's.. where does this one fall in the price range? Good deal or wishfull thinking by the seller?

 

Reasonable. Have not seen one that low with under 10k.

 

That seems like a really great price. Definitely worth looking into.
Bought mine with 19K miles for $19.5K 4 years ago.

 

In the range to sell---I would have looked at it---I searched for a year---I looked at one with 4000 miles that sold for $19k even with a full set of SRT luggage (missed being in the top 3 bids on eBay---I pulled up at $17,500; I was #4)---Another one with 3300 miles sold for $18,900 (called and JUST sold)---I paid $19,655 with 917 miles from a dealer that told me that the phone rang of the hook on the car after I put the money down. All this happened just 18 to 20 months ago. I see 3 or 4 a year with miles under 10k. One guy has one with 1200 miles and wants $25k---Maybe, but I would have been "out" since I know ones like these are out there. "IF" this car is a "no paint work" car and clean, it would be well worth the look...................Good Luck...............

 

I think they are starting to dry up... and anything under 10k would be worth the 18K and up...I stoled one awhile back with 18K...but I was just at the right place right time, and in fact bluecoupe would have bought it if I hadn't. He missed it by a few weeks. More for the roadster I paid the going price at the time. They have since fallen off a few thousand...but still holding at 20K area...I like the way they seemed to have leveled off. That is a good thing for the SRT. Not so much for the others. Kind of like the Vette in a way. They go to certain lever depending on age and stay there for the most part.

 

That's a good price for low mileage and excellent condition (i.e., no curb rash or dings). I paid $21k for mine with 8500 miles in Jan 2008. This is a strange forum -- everyone bitches that the SRT6s are not holding value but they also want to buy one dirt cheap. Cannot have it both ways. BTW, graphite is a gorgeous color - the best!!

 

For the miles on her, I didn't really think it was an overpriced deal. I know how much the wife likes my NA, and if some cards fall right here shortly may have to become a 2 crossfire family..Kinda hoping since not a lot of people seem to know much about Crossfires it will hang on the market for a few weeks.

 

Agreed, on both counts.

 

That would be tempting.....

 

It amazes me that no one is bothered by a car that may have rotted at a dealer for 3-4 years. Sure the paint and aesthetics are in good order, but the possiblity of mechanical problems far outweighs the benfits of ULTRA low mileage versus age IMHO...

If it was a one owner, all records, perfect car, even 25K is not out of reason, but finding someone that took care of it that well (if anyone even owned it during its first years of life) would be nearly impossible on a car very few are aware of and if they are in the know, they are keeping it

Obviously just my opinion, feel free to give me some **** LOL

 

AGREE---Good point---My first question was "what did you do to take care of the car?"---I talked to the previous owner and he gave great answers---Bought the car in 06 with 186 on the clock---Started it every two weeks at least and let the car get to operating temp and drove it at least around the block---Kept a battery tender on it---Changed the oil twice, etc---You can store a car, but you are right that it does take a few extra steps. Also, for overkill, I changed ALL the fluids just to start fresh when I got it!!!

 

nothing like dried up seals

 

Obiously, I wasn't bothered. The Black SRT was in the Northeast on lots. From what I understand, it was out front for awhile and then migrated indoors at two Chrysler dealers. I bought it from the second and it had been outside in the snow. I had it thoroughly detailed, then I took to the slight surface rust on the unplated parts on the chassis (top and bottom, coated them with oil. I've posted pix in the past. They are dry weather (ie; most of the year) garage queens that run like swiss watches anytime I take them out. If I didn't need another SRT-6, I'd be tempted to research this 1.2k mile one farther.

 

Mine runs like a swiss watch as well, just a little slower than your SRTs but I enjoy racing mine and driving it around the country meeting up with other Crossfires too much to ever buy it and let it sit. Differing opinions make the world go around, happy new year
