"For some, a good deal on a new car trumped the possibility that Chrysler may not survive.
Rebecca Jeffries wasn't even looking to buy when she went for an oil change Friday at Day's Baum Boulevard Dodge-Chrysler-Jeep in Pittsburgh.
The 66-year-old computer-company clerk has always loved the looks of Chrysler's Crossfire convertible, but the $40,000-plus tab was out of her price range. Not these days. When a sales representative made her a deal for $27,900, Jeffries said so long to her Sebring sedan and drove off in a new silver sports car.
Jeffries acknowledged a little anxiety about the warranty _ even with the government's backing _ but said "it looks like I'm getting a good deal here."
"If they want to get rid of it, I'll take it," she said."

Any Pittsburgh members want to get her connected to the forum?

 

Honestly, I think she paid too much for it. Sure, $27,900 sounds good for a $40,000 MSRP vehicle, but how many here have gotten far better deals than that? Like the $21,000 I paid for mine with full warranty and a mere 32 miles on the odometer?

 

I posted it to see what members thought of the purchase price as well. One thing nice about the forum is we monitor the value of Crossfires to an extent. Without this community I would not of understood that she also could have gotten it for less more than likely.

Just noticed this is my 1000 post

 

Congratulations Ann !!
