2005 Chrysler Crossfire Limited Roadster 

NO RESERVE AUCTION

Like New 2005 Chrysler Crossfire Limited Roadster Sapphire Silver Blue Metallic. We are the ORIGINAL OWNERS and purchased it new of the dealer showroom in February of 2006. Car is absolutely gorgeous. This is the nicest one in the country. The car is driven only 3 months a year and has NEVER seen rain or snow. We keep it covered on a hoist in a hearted garage when it is not being driven. The car is MINT; there is no curb rash on the wheels, no scratches in the paint, and no oxidation to the headlights (common on Crossfire's). The interior shows as new with virtually no wear on the seats (bolsters commonly show a lot of wear), no rips or any tears. We have had seat covers on it since new. The carpet is Like new, as the car had all-weather floor mats installed since new. Even the Cup Holder that is commonly broken is in working order. The top is also in perfect condition, both mechanically and cosmetically. The car does have a pin-size nick above the door handle; it was there when we bought the car. There is also two very small nicks on the front bumper. basically two small rock chips. Please look at the pictures as I documented both of them. 99% of people will not notice them, but I am extremely picky about maintaining the condition of the car and I want to describe the car as accurately as possible.

The car has been maintained impeccably as my father is an ex-Mercedes-Benz Tech. and is familiar with these cars. The Oil was changed every June when the car was taken out for the summer. The car is in perfect mechanical condition, and has been extremely reliable. The only issue that we have had with the car was the valve cover gaskets had a slight leak. Chrysler replaced both the gaskets and cylinder head covers under warranty. The issue has NOT re-occured. I have all the paperwork for this repair. I also just put a new battery in it a week ago. Other than that, the car has been great. The tires have about 60% of tread left in the rear and about 70% in the front. 


For those that don't know much about the Crossfire, it is one of the nicest cars Chrysler ever made. This is mainly because the Crossfire is technically a Mercedes-Benz SLK. It shares the R170 platform with the SLK and has the Mercedes M112 3.2L V6 paired to a Getreg 6-Speed Manual. The car was Coach-built at the Karmann Factory in Germany. This is sure to be a future collector! 

Car comes with original Manual, both sets of keys, and all the paperwork. The Title is Clean and is in my name. This is a Private Party sale, and not a dealer. The only reason I am selling it is because we have three convertibles and just bought a new boat. We do not have time to enjoy everything! I tried to describe the car as accurately as possible, but there is a chance I missed something.  Please contact me if you have any questions. Please call/ text or message me. My # is 815-980-5932. Check out my feedback and buy with confidence!

*Item is for sale locally and I have the right to end the auction at anytime*

Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic

Mon, Oct 24 2016

Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check – considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check – there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each.

Fiat Chrysler posts record Q3 profit thanks to U.S. trucks and Jeep

Wed, Oct 28 2020

MILAN — A rebound in car production in Fiat Chrysler on Wednesday reported record third-quarter earnings as production returned to nearly pre-pandemic levels. The Italian-American automaker, which is finalizing its full merger with French rival PSA Peugeot, reported a net profit in the three months ending Sept. 30 of $1.4 billion (1.2 billion euros). That compares with a loss of 179 million euros a year earlier. The carmaker reported adjusted earnings before tax and interest in North America of 2.5 billion euros. That offset deepening losses in Europe, Asia and at its Maserati luxury marquee. Latin America, the only other region to post a profit, saw it narrow by two-thirds to 46 million euros. “Our record results were driven by our teamÂ’s tremendous performance in North America,” CEO Mike Manley said in a statement. Overall, the carmaker said global earnings before tax and interest were a record 2.3 billion euros despite a 6% fall in revenues to 26 billion euros. Global shipments were down 3%, due largely to plant retooling in North American to produce the new Jeep Grand Wagoneer in the luxury SUV segment and the discontinuation of the Dodge Grand Caravan classic minivan. Fiat Chrysler announced earlier Wednesday that its merger with PSA Peugeot is on track to be finalized by the end of the first quarter of 2021, as planned. To meet regulatory concerns, the French carmaker is selling a small stake in a components maker to get below 40% ownership. The new automaker, to be called Stellantis, will be the fourth biggest producer in the world. Earnings/Financials Chrysler Dodge Fiat Jeep RAM Citroen Peugeot

Minivan market not what it used to be, but margins make up for it

Thu, 05 Jun 2014



Residual values for last year's minivans are higher than they were in 2000.
Much like the station wagon was the shuttle of Baby Boomer generation, the minivan has been the primary means of transport for Generations X and Y. Just as the boomers abandoned the Country Squire, though, those kids that were toted around in Grand Caravans and Windstars are adults, and they certainly don't want to be seen in the cars their parents drove.
