Reserve Lowered 10/10/10 Must sell !!!!!! Based on other similar vehicles on e-bay I have also lowered the Buy It Now 10/11/10. Good luck bidding!!!!! Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Brad and You are looking at my wifes 2005 Crossfire. We have put only 3,679 miles on it since purchasing it from a good friend in January 2009. He was a Chrysler Engineer and purchased the car new. We have loved driving when we have but have way to many cars and need to make more room in the garage. The car has 71915 miles which are mostly highway. The previous owner drove 40 miles each way to work in the car. The car drives like new and the performance and speed are incredible! Most of the following information, I found online & thought it was interesting. Introduction of the Crossfire Reaping the benefits of its Mercedes-Benz corporate ties, the Crossfire is the first true Mercedes-Chrysler collaborative effort, featuring 39 percent Mercedes-Benz technology. The Crossfire is based on its corporate cousin -- the SLK roadster. The Crossfire name is derived from one of its many distinctive design cues -- the character line that runs along the Crossfire's sides from front to rear. The "X" that is created when the line crosses to a negative formation as it moves through the car's rear fender is the "cross." Other interesting design elements that enhance the car's windswept look are the six "speed" lines that run the length of the car's hood, and the center spine line that moves over the length of not only the exterior, but through the interior as well. Interior lines were set to focus attention down the road, and the distinctive center line even cuts through the center console. This and teh many other cross's on teh car are one of the distinctive features that I love. Options stability control; dual-zone air conditioning; a four-speaker CD stereo; cloth upholstery; a height-adjustable driver seat; a leather-wrapped steering wheel; keyless entry; power windows, & power locks. I have also added a back-up camera for safety purposes that I will let go with the car. Powertrains and Performance The car is powered by a Mercedes-engineered 3.2-liter V6 that produces 215 horsepower and 229 pound-feet of torque. NEW TIRES less than 5,000 miles ago at a cost of $1200.00. They are still in excellent condition. The previous owner and I have only ran Mobil SAE-0W-40 oil as recomended by the dealer. K & N filters are also installed on the car since new. The car has also only been run on 93 Octane since new. Safety Standard safety equipment includes four-wheel antilock disc brakes with BrakeAssist, traction and stability control and side airbags that protect passengers' heads and torsos. Interior Design and Special Features If you're considering a Crossfire for reasons beyond pure performance, you'll be pleasantly surprised by its comfortable and quiet cabin. Entry and exit take some getting used to because of the low roof that curves down to meet the side windows, but once inside, headroom is plentiful due to the car's domed shape. Because of the car's swooping shape, rearward visibility is seriously limited, especially in the coupe (reason I installed the camera). The handsome two-tone cockpit is accented with metallic trim and certainly calls to mind its Mercedes-Benz heritage. Driving Impressions The Crossfire coupe is quick. The six-speed manual shift makes it fun to mix up the gears. The Crossfire's stiff body structure and oversized tires give it crisp handling characteristics when exercised on back roads. All said and done the Crossfire is a delight to drive. And on those occasions when you merely want to cruise down the highway, the Crossfire obliges with a smooth and quiet ride. Everything works on the car and it is ready for you to drive it home! Runs and drives like new. If you live close by feel free to contact me for a test drive.
