2006 Chrysler Crossfire Limited Roadster; 36k Miles; Aero Blue; Just Like New! on 2040-cars
Meridian, Idaho, United States
|
This beautiful, sporty
little car is (in my opinion) one of the most mis-understood and overlooked
values on the market today. The car has a rather unique “pedigree” in that it
was built and marketed during the model years 2004 through 2008 during the time
when Chrysler and Daimler Benz had merged and were attempting to cooperate on
vehicle design and marketing. This merger did not work well for many reasons,
but cars like the Crossfire were the “victims” of this mis-matched “marriage”.
They were not marketed well and suffered from poor sales volume as a result.
The Crossfire itself was a wonderful vehicle! It was (and
still is) a very good looking and performing car built entirely on the Mercedes
SLK320 Chassis and Drivetrain with Chrysler contributing only the body design
(which was actually built by Karmann in Germany…more confusion) and the car was
assembled in Germany for sales around the world. To me, it is one striking little sports car that
never received the acclaim that it was worthy of!
This particular example of the car is an amazing machine!
It is the 2006 roadster (convertible) model with the Limited package (meaning
it was the fanciest model offered). It has accumulated only 36,200 miles, all
put on the car by the original owner, and has the original “aero blue” paint
with a contrasting 2-tone gray leather interior, both in near perfect
condition. Everything about this car is original and it has been maintained
religiously…even the original wheels are flawless! It was sold new locally and
driven very sparingly and only in good weather. It is loaded with all of the
options including dual climate control, Infinity stereo system, heated seats,
home link system, 6 speed manual transmission, and a host of other niceties
that one wouldn’t expect to find on a small “sports car”! The Mercedes V-6
engine in the car makes it amazingly fast, and its suspension and chassis
attributes make it stick to the road like glue! It is an absolute blast to
drive, and it runs, drives, and even looks like a brand new car! In my opinion,
there has never been a finer looking and performing sports car on the road, and
everywhere I go I get questions and compliments about it. This has to be one of
the finest examples available! It even has a custom set of luggage (with the
Crossfire logo) that was designed specifically for the car to take maximum
advantage of the limited storage space in the trunk!
The fine
print: Despite the remarkable, original condition of this vehicle, it IS a used
car and is sold as is where is with no warranty expressed or implied. Any offer
to buy this car will be construed as a commitment by the person making the
offer to complete the purchase. If there are any questions at all about the
car, please ask them before submitting your offers. I will assist any
transporter in the loading of the car, but any necessary transportation costs
and arrangements shall be the responsibility of the buyer. Payment for the car
will have to be completed before any delivery takes place, and fund transfer
will have to be in the form of bank wire transfer within 3 days of the close of
the sale. I will assist as best I can to make this an easy transaction, but it
will be very business-like for both parties protection. Also, the car is listed
for sale in several other venues, so I reserve the right to end this auction at
any time if the car becomes unavailable.

Dodge offering novel 1-year lease on '14 Challenger and Charger models
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Dodge is just days away from unveiling refreshed versions of the Charger and Challenger at the 2014 New York Auto Show, models promising updated styling and new powertrain options. Depending on how you look at it, the company is either so confident in its forthcoming 2015 models that it's offering an interesting Double-Up lease deal on the current vehicles, or it's so eager to clear out existing stock that it's resorting to novel lease deals. In any case, what they present is an interesting scenario, one which allows buyers to get the existing model right now, and then trade up to the facelifted 2015 models in one year.
Starting April 17, when the refreshed cars debut through the end of August, buyers can lease a 2014 Charger or Challenger for one year and exchange it for a three-year lease on a 2015 model next year, with no additional money down and the same monthly payment. Customers can even switch vehicles when the new lease starts. If drivers want to buy the '15, they get $1,000 off the purchase price. To be eligible, both leases must use the same dealership and be financed through Chrysler Capital. The Double-Up deal excludes the SRT versions of both cars and Charger SE models.
To offset the flood of one-year-old models coming back to dealerships, Dodge has struck a deal with rental car agency Enterprise, which has agreed to buy them all. "One-year leases are highly unusual in the industry," said company spokesperson Ralph Kisiel, and the fleet sale deal is what makes it possible.
Are you the 2015 Chrysler 300?
Tue, 16 Sep 2014When Chrysler showed us its hand and revealed its five-year product plan to the world, we learned that the updated 300 sedan will bow at the LA Auto Show in November. Now, thanks to Allpar, we might have our first (super grainy) look at the new sedan a full two months ahead of its official debut.
Unlike its Dodge Charger platform mate, the new 300 isn't really all that different from the model currently on sale. That said, we're not sure if the changes shown here really reflect styling that we'd call "better," with the company's logo sort of floating at the top of the grille, and a more simplistic front end that lets the schnoz stick out a bit. Again, nothing drastic to talk about, but the new tweaks are kind of weak. Of course, we'll wait until we see the finished product in the metal before we make up our minds.
Don't expect things to change too much in terms of interior refinement or powertrain offerings, as well, with all the same leather and technology we've enjoyed in the 300 before, and the usual 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and 5.7-liter Hemi V8 powertrain options. We'll know for sure when the car shows its freshened face in Los Angeles in November.
Chrysler's Hurricane engine detailed ahead of 2016 launch
Fri, 20 Sep 2013We've been hearing distant rumblings about Chrysler's new Hurricane engine for some time now, but details have been hard to come by. Now, Automotive News is adding some specifics to the scuttlebutt, citing Chrysler documents. According to the industry publication, the Hurricane will blow onto the scene in 2016, but it's not an all-new engine. Rather, it will be rooted in the company's existing 2.0-liter four-cylinder Tigershark powerplant (shown above), albeit with "many new technologies to achieve excellent fuel economy."
It's not clear what sort of technologies Chrysler is referring to, but the Hurricane is expected to continue to use an aluminum block, and the finished product is expected to generate even better figures than the existing 2.0-liter's 160 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque (as found in the Dodge Dart). Automotive News notes that the updated 2.4-liter Tigershark debuting in the entry-level 2014 Jeep Cherokee has its basis in the 2.0-liter lump, but unlike the smaller engine, it's been fitted with MultiAir2 electrohydraulic variable valve timing to realize 184 hp and 171 lb-ft and greater efficiency.
Perhaps the Hurricane will incorporate the latter in its bag of tricks? Either way, we're hoping for a more generous torque curve than the what's in the current 2.0-liter Tigershark, which is something of a slug in the Dart - even for a base economy compact.
