I have been wanting one of these for quite a while. My wife finally convinced me that i work hard enough that i deserve to treat myself to a fun toy. Since my youngest is at Pitt, i sure as hell don’t need to do the minivan thing anymore. I thought about getting a Vette, but the whole ‘gold chain midlife crisis old farts drive Vettes’ thing bugged me. Besides, i wanted somthing a little different…something Euro…but not boring… So after a lot of searching, here she is 2004 Chrysler Crossfire(M-B SLK) 3.2 V6, 215HP, 229 lb/ft, 5 speed autostick, and a shitload of attitude. 255/35/19 rears, and every toy you can imagine. Picked her up in Duncansville, with under 5500 miles on the odo. Original owner was a woman. Spotless inside and out, and the price was about 1/2 of what the origianl sticker was. Still has about 6 months of warranty on it, plus i can get a Chrysler service contract for not a lot of $$. This is one FUN car to drive!! Not the fastest in a straight line(high 14’s), but this car handles!! I considered the SRT6, but between the higher upfront cost, plus insurance and other factors, i went with the N/A. Still has plenty of balls. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v103/davepenn/2007_0225Image0009.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v103/davepenn/2007_0225Image0009.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v103/davepenn/2007_0225Image0008.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v103/davepenn/2007_0225Image0008.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v103/davepenn/2007_0225Image0007.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v103/davepenn/2007_0225Image0007.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v103/davepenn/2007_0225Image0006.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v103/davepenn/2007_0225Image0006.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v103/davepenn/2007_0225Image0005.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v103/davepenn/2007_0225Image0005.jpg) ---

I remember seeing a grey crossfire there. Yes i did. They had 4 Xfires there, but this one had the lowest miles. That place is NUTS, it’s like red lobster on a saturday night. The guy who did my deal had already sold 8 cars on saturday by the time we got there (3:00PM). They have damn good prices. I did everything over the phone, so on satuirday we just drove up, checked out the car, paid for it and drove home. ---

I was up there once picking up parts for his '56 Dodge, and he showed us around the whole place & explained how the business works. They get peeps coming from NC, VA, MD, etc to buy cars from them. ---
