I own a 2005 Chrysler Crossfire SRT 6 Roadster. I understand the SRT 6 Roadster was only produced for the model year 2005. Can you tell me how many units were built? THANKS

Hey Guys, Interested in a Crossfire - can you guys breakdown the manufacture of the CF: What is (was - did they stop production - no '09's?) mfg'd in Germany? Are the body panels stamped by MB in Germany or Chrysler in US/Canada/Mexico)? If not final assembley in Germany - what plant in the US (see body panels question above)? Is the unibody/ suspension/engine and tranny all MB? Is the interior mostly selected from the Chrysler parts bin? Is this an exact replica of the 1st generation MB SLK? Lastly should I avoid the SRT - problems w/. the supercharger? Thanks a million - I wonder how many new '08's are left on lots in the US?

Replying to: johnxyz (Nov 14, 2008 9:46 am) The car was hand assembled in Germany. It is for all purposes a "baby Benz". The SRT6 is upgraded with the AMG C32 engine, suspension etc. If you have seen an SLK, they have similar interior. While there are bits and pieces manufactured from different parts of the world, the car is actually only about 5% American-made. By all means, if you have the chance go for the SRT6. Prices are incredible - Chryslers have poor resale value. There are a few low mileage SRT's to be found for around $20,000. The original sticker was close to $48000. You won't get a better car for the money. This car is for both show and go. There are numerous people that claim the N/A Crossfires are plenty powerful for them. I know there is about 10 2008 roadsters sitting on a Chrysler lot where I live, so they should be easy to find. Chrysler dealers are trying to get rid of them (along with the Pacifica) since their break-up with Daimler. DO NOT pay anything CLOSE to sticker. You can get them down to about $23000 for a 2008 roadster. There have been some reports of the supercharger's clutch/pulley going out - if you test drive a SRT6 and don't take off like a rocket when you stomp on the pedal, that's a sign. This is one car I would definitely recommend getting a warranty with - even though there may not be alot of problems with these cars, whatever goes wrong will be expensive. And be sure you realize the expense in maintaining these cars (oil changes, tires, etc). They are not Toyotas - you can't get the $19.95 oil change special.

Replying to: riddlebox (Nov 14, 2008 5:56 pm) If you buy the Mobil-1 0-40 (as required by the owners manual) & the filter & take it to a Walmart & have them change the oil....the whole thing will cost less than $75-$80. The FSS (Oil life monitor) will easily let you go 7,500 miles. Considering we all used to change our oil every 3,000 miles.....the net increase in cost to maintain your Lifetime Powertrain Warranty isn't really that big a deal. Keep receipts! Nothing with an "SRT" designation gets the Lifetime Powertrain Warranty. There is a dealership in Dallas I think that is dumping them for $17K off sticker (or more!!) right now.

Is it true that if you have bought a new Crossfire you can get a free alignment check and wiper blades if you do so within 12 months and 12,000 miles? Thanks!
