Just found this on ebay. No affiliation to the seller.

Chrysler : Crossfire Chrysler : Crossfire | eBay

IIRC when it was re-listed it sold to the only bidder at $21,000

the only explanation for this car is someone thought they would make a killing someday as a classic.

Yes and still priced a little high. However, I would rather have this for $22k than one with 65,000 miles for $15-16k

I like his garage setup... Lots of lights, air supply and 115v around the shop

Now I understand why it is so hard to sell one of these cars.....All the folks around here want them to be given away for pennies...everyone wants a super clean low mile car but not willing to shell out the cheese to get one.....

If we wanted to spend a lot of money, we would buy the real thing

Two years ago I paid full asking price to a Chrysler dealer for my SRT6 in MINT condition with 6900 miles. And it was alot less than this one posted here. Not saying it's not worth the full asking price because I really feel it should be worth more. Just saying that these cars don't command big money because no one is willing to pay it. Market price for this car unfortunately is around $18 to $21K

I hope I am not taking this out of context.......
This is our chance to drive them back up....if we were to quit telling all that the prices are to high or heck...just stop selling so low. Thats the only way to get the value back up some. It needs to be done before a 500 mile car is worth only 13 or 14k and that seems to be the way we are headed. Its not good.

I agree but part of the problem in my opinion is that the Crossfire is a "love it or hate it" car. Unfortunately there are far less people who, like us "love it" and therefore brings market value down.

It's still and 6 or 7 year old car, even if it only has 500 miles on it. The price doesn't seem out of line to me, but going any higher would begin to seem out of line. The value of these cars won't go up for for another 10 years or more. That's when they will be even more rare and become of age.............

Since I'm not thinking of selling it, the value / price doesn't matter to me. What matters is that I still love the car and enjoy driving it.

Has anyone seen a lower mileage SRT6? My concerned would be the maintenance. He has put about 350 miles on it in 4.5 yrs. I'm putting about 80 miles/month so far on my '06 SRT6. Maybe I'm driving the '06 too much.

I don't think the price is unreasonable, if I was in the market for a garage queen. But since I already have one, that won't work. Let me check my mega millions tix.

NADA retail is $18,600 which includes a $5,100 bump for the mileage.

Who knows where it sat. I have dealer buddies that set on certain cars, never title them, thinking the price will go up. Sometimes, like the SRT6, it just doesn't happen. But, that car is new, 500 miles or not. This isn't the old days when seals dry up, and things fade, especially when garage kept. Cars can be stored for a long time today if done properly. He has a nice set up, so I figure he is an old car guy. That is a great find with the right price on it. Our days of stealing low mileage SRT's is drying up. You will be buying high mileage SRT6's in the mid teens before long. But, everytime I think I have seen the last low mileage SRT6, one pops up like this one...There can't be that many left setting in garages I would think. But, I bet there is a dealer out there with one tucked away, never titled.

Has it been added to the database.

These threads are always amusing trying to guess if the Crossfire will pick up value. I hope at some point in time more folks will realize how much fun these cars can be, but either way I have a coupe and a vert with the go fast do-dad so we are set :-).

Seriously? NADA retail is $13.5k for a SRT6? How many miles is that for?
