IN a heartbeat!!!! I just had to trade mine as I have a new baby girl and wouldn't risk putting her in the passenger seat even with airbags disabled. The ONLY thing I would change is I would have gone with the SRT-6 vs. the Limited. I like the extra speed.
 
This car garnered more looks and oohs and aahs from people than anything I've ever driven, and I've driven a lot of cars. I fell in love with it from the day I drove it home. I could care less about resale value. The car held up like a dream for the 2 years I had it with regular maintenance. No issues. I am saddened that I had to get rid of it.

Hey zq8, after about 800 miles I have to say.....WOW, this thing is so much fun...the more I drive it the BETTER it gets! (6-speed). >24MPG rocket! Fantastic daily driver & part time rocket. At 1/2 the price of a Corvette & $2K less than a MazdaSpeed 3 (10 times more solid than the Mazda...I tested 2 of them). Took 200-300 miles to get accustomed to the travel/throw of the clutch....now I'm a PRO! The throw of the clutch now seems perfect for easy city stop & go traffic...the car won't jump out from underneath you unless you're really trying to be stupid in traffic.
 
Would I buy another.....my thought is if I was wealthy I'd buy every one I could find & store them away......
 
If you can find a new 6-speed Limited & get it for less than $23K like I did...with a lifetime warranty......Jesus Man...go get it before it's gone!!!!
 
I'm 55 ...a little over 6 ft tall & I fit OK, & hope to drive it till I can't push a clutch anymore.

OMG, in a heartbeat. I have had my roadster for 2 years, black on black on black. I am the envy of all those moms driving minivans, SUV and mercedes too.
 
My husband is 6'4" its a little tight but I drive him around. He feels like a KEPT MAN when hes in MY CAR!
 
Don't hesitate, just do it!

Most sport convertibles are little hard to get in/out. But this Crossfire is for keeps. I could do 140MPH no problem, very smooth and stable on the highway at 140. But, watch out for other cars at that speed, you are just seconds from there rear end. If Chrysler decided to contuine production for this car, I would like to see them with few more inches of leg & head room and also I would perfer upgrade to SRT option.

I bought a 04 ltd auto with only 11,500mile in white with grey interior, for $15,000
  this for a car that looks like it was never in the rain the underside is so clean.
  The car attracts people like bees to honey, and it is a blast to drive. Why they are
  not holding there value better is strange seeing what a fun car they are.
      After driving it for 1,500 miles the brake lights don't work , the cruise control
  quit and the ESP/BSA warning light came on. It's under warrantee so chrysler will
  fix it but I was wondering if anyone else out there had a similar problem. I think
  the problems are related because the are all somehow connected to the braking
  system.

Sure, I would buy one again. In fact I did, I am on my second Crossfire.
 
The car is a great piece of automotive design and execution. I have a roadster and they really attract attention.

Chrysler Ends Production of Ill-Starred Crossfire
 
Date posted: 12-20-2007 Edmunds Inside Line article
 
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Chrysler apparently hoped that its slow-selling Crossfire would die a quiet death this week. The end came, without any official word or fanfare from the company, on December 17, when production of the vehicle ended at the Karmann plant in Osnabrück, Germany.
 
Chrysler officials confirmed the end of production for Inside Line and noted that the Crossfire's demise will not be marked with any ceremony. The final Crossfire off the production line is apparently bound for obscurity, too. "There are no plans to put the final vehicle in a museum," said Michele Tinson, a Chrysler spokeswoman, on Thursday.
 
Pulling the plug on the Crossfire is "part of our initiative to have the right products at the right time," Tinson said.
 
On November 1, Chrysler announced that the Crossfire, Pacifica, PT Cruiser convertible and Dodge Magnum — all slow sellers — were being discontinued in response to "dealer requests.
 
"These actions reflect our new customer-driven philosophy and allow us to focus our resources on new, more profitable and appealing products," said Jim Press, Chrysler vice chairman and president. "Further, these product actions are all in response to dealer requests."
 
Tinson said she was unable to provide 2008 volume numbers for the Crossfire, saying "We don't track it. Germany does."
 
But statistics compiled by Automotive News show Chrysler sold only 193 Crossfires in November and still had 1,000 unsold cars left in stock on December 1.
 
What this means to you: Look for some year-end fire-sale pricing on those last 1,000 Crossfires.
