I currently have a 2004 Crossfire but have always wanted an SRT. I would appreciate any tips on what to look for when finding an SRT. Any specific things I should ask or check when performing a test drive. I have owned many fun mobiles over the years but would sure like to find a cream puff SRT Crossfire at a reasonable price. All comments welcome.

I HAVE BOUGHT AN SRT...SO NO NEED TO COMMENT ON THIS THREAD...

The attached link contains a SRT6 Coupe with less than 10,000 documented miles and owned by a forum member. This is a 2-owner car over the past 17 years. The prices have increased over the past 12 months, like every other used car.
Good luck in your effort to find a clean, well-maintained car.

Hat area are you in I found a SRT fixer upper on OfferUp for 5k I'm sure you could haggle him down for more

Thanks but looking for a nicer SRT. Not interested in a fixer upper.

 

Its on the West Coast but I could work with that car, they all have the peeling paint due to water based paint used I believe.

 

I suggest the paint flaws I see are due to impact not water based paint. My SRT6's paint was as new and firmly in place when last seen a couple of years ago.
My 1990 Dakota has some of that peeling paint but I have never heard of a Crossfire having a similar problem.

 

Could be from impact. My first XF had perfect paint along with several Mercedes over the years but my last SRT6 was black with 120k miles had peeling paint and the "6" that got away last week in Clarksville Tn was Graphite and it had peeling clearcoat mostly on the drivers side, it had 115k miles and had came from Fla. The sun, acid rain something got to it. It looks very similar to the Dodge's back in the day and had read they used water base paint in attempts to save the earth, one paint job at a time.

Truth of the matter is these cars like any that are coming up on 20 years young are going to have issues. The interior plastic in these cars get brittle, you see it in sagging glove box doors and the area around the light switch often. If you find the garage kept never driven XF's with 35k miles you pay dearly. I buy the deals, regardless. My first XF was a NA car with new tires, aftermarket wheels and all the known issues in the cars. The one that sealed the deal was the non working blower fan cause I got it from a uniformed officer and it was a hot August day. The more I kept talking the hotter we got sitting there, I ended up paying 1600 cash. 75 for the new blower fan.

 

Have had two black Crossfires with the peeling paint, now. Accidents were not the cause. Peeled off in sheets, leaving the metal exposed. I haven't personally had other colors do this (on Crossfires).

 

Black and Red paint will have a tendancy to fade and peel because it absorbs more blue light.
