Sold my '06 Limited Coupe in late 2011, and I've been thinking about getting back into another one. Found an '04 Limited in Dallas with 375 miles on it and decided to pull the trigger. It was delivered today!

When I got mine this summer with 5600 miles it was "Like New", that one "Is New". It must be amazing. Do you plan on driving it a lot? It my be the lowest miles one out there.

It'll be a bit of a garage queen for the next two years, until my kids start driving. But after that, it will be my daily driver!

If that car had only been a 6 spd. The only "NEW" car I could find for that price is a Kia Soul.
Personally I'd drive the hell out of it for the next 10 years. Congrats and enjoy.

Thanks fireamx. That's exactly why I bought it--you can't beat it for the $$$. I would have preferred a 6-spd like my last one, but it was too good to pass up.

Very nice find! Congrats! I too prefer a 6 speed, but couldn't pass up a 2008 roadster with 5900 miles. Sold my 2004 6 speed coupe with 36k. Bought that baby new in 2004. Hated to part with it but I wad seduced by a roadster.

Enjoy it - it will be a low mileage car for a long, long time - even as a daily driver!

I have put 20000 miles on my 2005 SRT6 in 2 and a half years. I can't help but drive it, it's too much fun to drive.

You are like me, I had a '04 new in '05 and sold it in '12 after getting an '05 SRT in '11. I hated to part with the '04 but the wife was non too keen on two Crossfires and I had to agree with her.

My issue was more garage space related. Sounds like you were also seduced😧

Kinda reminds me of a bumper sticker that said something like: "Wife said it's either me or your 2nd Crossfire! Lordy, I'm gonna miss that lady!" ( JUST KIDDING Mrs. onehundred80!?!)
