Looking at this picture, One can't help but think what if they put more effort into marketing???

 

More marketing would have translated into more sales but they were still a lot of money for something carrying a Chrysler badge..

Personally, I'm glad. Thanks to the poor sales, I finally own a car that may be considered an investment. Time will tell.

 

Luckily Mercedes restrictions on Chrysler marketing these gems translated to great buy deals for our community...a rare oddity in the automotive industry.

 

I NEVER even consider my cars as an investment, my cars have and will always be, for my TOTAL enjoyment. My thoughts on Crossfires for investment, are that they have to be either VERY LOW mileage, and/or Kept for a LO>>>NG time AND always remain Stock, until few remain. Many of us Forum Members will unfortunately not live long enough to see that happen. WGATAP
(With God All Things Are Possible) Mmmmmm Mmmmmm

 

I broke even on a Miata purchase. Hanging on to this car for several years and keeping the miles down, I could see raking in an extra grand or two. It's not out of the question.
As mentioned, time will tell.

 

[baritone move trailer voice guy] Little did they know that in 4 years time the Chrysler Crossfire would become a symbol of the failed Daimler-Chrysler merger, and Daimler would have shunned Chrysler, leaving it to pick-over the discarded Mercedes scraps in the part bins to face the cold streets of Detroit looking for a buyer to purchase its assets, hoping against hope that the firm wouldn't be dismantled.

If only they knew then what we knew now...

 

a very big "bird" would be flying in the face of the Germans for sure...
