Just took possession of a 2005 SRT-6 in black today. Bought it sight unseen (in the flesh I mean) from a dealer in Kansas. 12,000 miles on the odometer, paid 16K, shipping included in the price. First thing on the agenda is to have my local dealer evaluate it, no telling what's been done or not in 9 years. This should be interesting.

 

First of all, welcome to the forum AND the permagrin club. I would suggest that rather then take it to a Chrysler dealer, look into a Mercedes shop (not a dealer) that is familiar with the R170 Mercedes platform. Most Chrysler dealers do not have certified Crossfire technicians anymore, and we call them "stealerships". I'm sure that So. California has plenty of Mercedes mechanics. Just sayin ...
