In early October, I will be looking to purchase an SRT6. New member here btw....hello to all Do you guys/gals know of anyone that would have one for sale, around that time frame? Preferrably modded

 

Early October equals, tail of the Dragon, so if you're anywhere near Asheville North Carolina or the Tennessee border you should go to Fontana Lake .https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...r-5-6-7-a.html

and if you have met someone that has one for sale, meet them up there, maybe you can drive it home.
mine could be for sale, if you have $40,000 and want one of the fastest crossfires in the world. jim

 

If Chrysler does nothing about the top on my vert, I may be looking to unload all my Chrysler vehicles, including the modded 6 coupe ........see my sig for mods.......... but it won't be the cheapest

 

My dad had a problem with his with the rear window losing its seal and almost falling out, there is a recall/replace for the convertible top however it is only for the southern states( i think south of virginia). guess 95 degrees in CT isnt the same as 95 degrees in FL. The local dealership denied his request for it to be covered. He contacted Chryler Corporate HQ talked to a couple higher ups and a couple days later got a return call and was told that it would be replaced free of charge. supposedly the top has been ordered and he is waiting for it to arrive at the local dealership

 

Mine might be forbsaleband will be more modded then. Pm me and we can keep in touch.

 

my slk32 may be for sale and can be had with all the mods. get the best of both worlds. hardtop and vert and it runs in the 11's. more mods than carter has liver pills!

 

Thanks, any contact numbers ? I'm going round and round with them right now, best offer so far is for some unknown shop (of Chryslers choosing) to replace the window, and they still won't tell me how much of the cost they will cover. Sorry for the thread hijack

 

Dave.
Planet Dodge on 59 did mine and there was no problem getting it approved. The dealer sucks though.
I had to wait 2 weeks for the part to come in and they tried giving me the wrong car back.
Was your car purchased in Texas?

 

I hate to say it, but I can't blame you a bit!
I was driving a 2007 Jeep Patriot Sport 4x4, and I actually traded it in on the Crossfire, despite taking a big loss (Patriots have pretty poor trade-in value), because it had so many obvious and major problems that Chrysler would never really own up to.

It's too bad, because I really liked the idea of having a fairly fuel-efficient 4 wheel drive vehicle, and the Patriot checked off a lot of the boxes of what I wanted out of something like that. (EG. Passenger front seat folded down flat as well as the back seats, allowing items as long as full size extension ladders to fit, despite the car's small size.) But time after time, my Chrysler experience was poor.... Out of 4 or 5 dealerships in my area, only one was really considered capable of doing quality service work --and they started ripping off my mom when she took in her Dodge van for work. (Kept telling her it needed things like new brakes or tires when it didn't.)

When the Patriot's CVT transmission started going out and needed a total replacement at only 68,000 miles or so (and I had just paid hundreds to have the fluid changed in it, only 10K miles earlier), I was pretty much done with it.

I've been saying I'd never buy a Chrysler vehicle again (same sentiment I've held about Chevy products for decades), but the Crossfire interested me because it was really much more of a discount priced Mercedes than a Chrysler. I think the trick with it is going to be keeping it away from any Chrysler dealerships if at all possible ....

 

Well, Scotty, me boy....Mr. Photoman hasn't had any takers on his yet...and you would not only get a very well taken car of SRT6 in the proper color, but you would get one of the fastest. Check out his thread if you are serious, as this will be the price range you will have to pay to get one.

 

This is one of the best SRT's out there, unless you could buy one of the V8's, which would be my first choice, and Mr. photoman.s would be my second choice, by now and be happy the rest to your car owning time.

 

If you can make a buy sooner I would highly recommend one of these...both nicely maintained and modded

MRPHOTOMAN's SRT6 FOR SALE

IBLUBYU's Black SRT Roadster

 

DrWump has one for sale, 14k mi, no mods, excellent condition.

 

Yourself as the third person lol

..........do you know what color DrWumps car is?
How much does DrWump want for it?

 

My (DrWump@aol.com) SRT is black and I am asking 20k. I am the original owner, all documentation and matching travel bags in the box included. I have never raced this car, it has been garage kept since new.

 

This is why it's so hard to buy a car on the forum for that car. We're all certain our car is worth more that what's being offered on the open market because it is "well maintained" by an "enthusiast". If you want to pay a 33% premium over market price, be my guest. Otherwise, shop around and keep that extra five grand in your pocket to pay for any deferred maintenance/cosmetics/upgrades/whatever.

If you are in the market for a truly exceptional car, you don't care about price and know what you want and can take care of yourself. If you're looking for a Crossfire to drive, learn as much as you can and haggle with everyone, including "enthusiasts".

No slam on this forum, it's the same for any other car forum I've been on. Almost everybody selling a non-project car thinks it's made of platinum.

Peace.

 

Uh... I guess, but I don't really see your point? If you're wanting to buy a Crossfire SRT-6 roadster, you're talking about a vehicle where there's somewhere under 700 in existence, period. Right away, that means we're talking about something a little bit different than what's for sale in a lot of car forums. (By comparison, some guy with a "flawless condition, low mileage" Camaro or Trans-Am from the 2005-06 era doesn't have anything all that unique.)

I know when I made my mind up that I wanted to buy a used SRT-6 roadster, a couple months ago, I did daily searches of several websites showing which ones were known to be up for sale throughout the country, and sorted the results by price. (I didn't even consider trying to buy from someone on this forum, because heck - for a while, I didn't even realize it existed yet!)

I wound up getting a pretty good handle on what these cars were going for, and more interesting to me at least, what price points a given dealer had to drop one to, to make it disappear from their lot.

All I can say is, it depends on the type of buyer a person is. If they're really just wanting to drive and work on one of these cars, and they're on a budget? Sure, don't bother with the forum enthusiasts trying to sell "premium condition" Crossfires with less than 20,000 original miles on them! An average car from 2005 would probably be expected to have at least 84,000 miles on it, if one assumed driving 12,000 miles per year (pretty typical).

But I think at this point, MOST people who come this way, with a real interest in a Crossfire SRT-6, are the types (like myself) who aren't satisfied just owning a vehicle that's seen every day on the road (even if it's a nice one). This isn't just another used car to purchase, drive or beat on for a while, and then move to the next thing..... Therefore, low mileage and exceptionally good condition are key, because otherwise? Why bother spending even $10K on something that already feels pretty much "worn out" from the get-go? It won't offer the experience you're expecting out of the purchase, and won't be much to show off if you keep and drive it ANOTHER 5-6 years.

Again, from what I saw when pricing the cars and looking around -- there just aren't many to be found at a given point in time. A few places are relative "hotbeds" for them, such as parts of Florida or Texas. But for the rest of us, either we settle for a high mileage one (possibly even in a previous accident), or we look at traveling hundreds of miles to see/buy a better one. When you start talking about travel like that, you're spending literally hundreds of bucks a shot (possible hotel needed for a night, plus gas for the trip and so on). You may as well not be "cheap" about the price of the car you're after -- or else you're likely to waste a lot of $'s on disappointments and may wind up spending more for a better specimen in the end, anyway.

 

If you find a camaro/trans-am dated 2005/2006, leave it alone. No cars with those labels were made by any car company I know of, let alone GM...

 

At that price Jim... My car would leave the property before the ink dries on the certified cheque

Everything is for sale at the right price...

 

Yeah, yeah.... That's what I get for not getting enough sleep when sitting up on the computer, writing messages....

In a way, it emphasizes my original point though, still. I mean, it's hard to believe the Camaro was out of production from 2002 until 2009 and yet you STILL see them on pretty much every street corner around here!
