This beautiful, sporty little car is (in my opinion) one of the most mis-understood and overlooked values on the market today. The car has a rather unique “pedigree” in that it was built and marketed during the model years 2004 through 2008 during the time when Chrysler and Daimler Benz had merged and were attempting to cooperate on vehicle design and marketing. This merger did not work well for many reasons, but cars like the Crossfire were the “victims” of this mis-matched “marriage”. They were not marketed well and suffered from poor sales volume as a result.

The Crossfire itself was a wonderful vehicle! It was (and still is) a very good looking and performing car built entirely on the Mercedes SLK320 Chassis and Drivetrain with Chrysler contributing only the body design (which was actually built by Karmann in Germany…more confusion) and the car was assembled in Germany for sales around the world. To me, it is one striking little sports car that never received the acclaim that it was worthy of!

This particular example of the car is an amazing machine! It is the 2006 roadster (convertible) model with the Limited package (meaning it was the fanciest model offered). It has accumulated only 36,200 miles, all put on the car by the original owner, and has the original “aero blue” paint with a contrasting 2-tone gray leather interior, both in near perfect condition. Everything about this car is original and it has been maintained religiously…even the original wheels are flawless! It was sold new locally and driven very sparingly and only in good weather. It is loaded with all of the options including dual climate control, Infinity stereo system, heated seats, home link system, 6 speed manual transmission, and a host of other niceties that one wouldn’t expect to find on a small “sports car”! The Mercedes V-6 engine in the car makes it amazingly fast, and its suspension and chassis attributes make it stick to the road like glue! It is an absolute blast to drive, and it runs, drives, and even looks like a brand new car! In my opinion, there has never been a finer looking and performing sports car on the road, and everywhere I go I get questions and compliments about it. This has to be one of the finest examples available! It even has a custom set of luggage (with the Crossfire logo) that was designed specifically for the car to take maximum advantage of the limited storage space in the trunk!

The fine print: Despite the remarkable, original condition of this vehicle, it IS a used car and is sold as is where is with no warranty expressed or implied. Any offer to buy this car will be construed as a commitment by the person making the offer to complete the purchase. If there are any questions at all about the car, please ask them before submitting your offers. I will assist any transporter in the loading of the car, but any necessary transportation costs and arrangements shall be the responsibility of the buyer. Payment for the car will have to be completed before any delivery takes place, and fund transfer will have to be in the form of bank wire transfer within 3 days of the close of the sale. I will assist as best I can to make this an easy transaction, but it will be very business-like for both parties protection. Also, the car is listed for sale in several other venues, so I reserve the right to end this auction at any time if the car becomes unavailable.

Chrysler unveils Dodge Charger SRT8 392, 300 SRT Concept to the faithful

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

Our man Steven J. Ewing recently spent some time in a 2013 Dodge Charger SRT8 Super Bee, and while he found a lot to love - particularly underhood - he didn't care for the sedan's retro-steeped visuals, preferring the standard SRT's look instead. Perhaps he'll dig this throwback look instead. Over the weekend, Chrysler unveiled this handsome 2013 Dodge Charger SRT8 392 Appearance Package at the eighth annual Spring Festival of LXs, a gathering of Charger, Challenger and Chrysler 300 enthusiasts held in Irvine, California.
Unveiled by SRT CEO Ralph Gilles in front of an estimated 2,500 Spring Fest goers, the 392 features 20-inch Black Vapor Chrome alloys set off by a black-painted roof panel, hood bulge, spoiler and mirror caps. Additional exterior changes include model-specific striping and badging along with the requisite serialized dash plaque inside. The 392 will be available in five colors - Billet Silver Metallic, Bright White, Hemi Orange, Plum Crazy and the TorRed pain seen here.
Performance-wise, the 392 remains unchanged from standard SRT8s, but that's hardly a slight - the 6.4 liter Hemi V8 continues to churn out 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. Like other 2013 SRT8s, the 392 benefits from the institution of a new launch control system and a retuned three-mode adaptive suspension.

How to update and secure a vulnerable Chrysler Uconnect system

Sat, Jul 25 2015

If you own one of the 1.4 million vehicles affected by the recent Chrysler software recall, you may want to watch this video. In it, we explain how to get the latest infotainment software loaded onto the 8.4-inch Uconnect system. The recall was a response to the findings of researchers who were able to hack into and remotely control a 2014 Jeep Cherokee through its cellular connection. Although Fiat Chrysler has worked with Sprint to plug most of the holes on the carrier side, there are still some vulnerabilities that only this latest software version can patch. Owners have three options to get the update: download it now, wait for a USB stick in the mail, or take the vehicle to an FCA dealer. Chrysler will be sending USB sticks loaded with the software update to customers. Anyone with an internet connection and a USB stick of their own with at least 4 GB capacity can speed things up by downloading the patch from the Uconnect website. We cover that process from start to finish in the video, with the final portion still applicable to those using the FCA-supplied USB stick. If after watching this you still don't want to tackle the patch yourself, you can take your vehicle to the dealer to have it done. Also note that this process is the same for all Uconnect updates, not just the one patching the exploits. Our demonstrator vehicle is a 2015 Ram 1500 pickup. The procedure should be very similar on other products with the 8.4-inch Uconnect system, with only the location of the USB port varying. Once you have the USB stick with the software on it – either after having downloaded it yourself or receiving it in the mail from Chrysler – the installation process is relatively simple. It takes about 15 minutes to perform the update; we edited out the wait in the video. To check whether or not your car's 8.4-inch Uconnect system is running the latest software, go to System Information on the touch screen's Settings page and look at Software Version. The update related to the recall is version 15.17.5. Related Video: Recalls Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM Safety Technology Infotainment Videos Original Video hacking

Jeep hiring 1,000 part-time workers in Toledo on Wrangler, Cherokee demand

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

The new Jeep Cherokee has been quite a success for Chrysler, but its factory workers are getting tired. The automaker has agreed to hire up to 1,000 part-time, temporary employees at its Toledo Assembly Complex where the CUV and Wrangler are built. It will allow the company to keep Jeep production moving, while giving laborers a break.
According to plant manager Chuck Padden in the Toledo Blade, full-time workers are regularly taking on 60 hours a week, and it's beginning to wear on them. "To get them more time off is important to us, to make sure they're refreshed, and can work safely," said Padden.
Chrysler has already hired 380 temporary, part-time workers for the plant, and 50 have been converted to full-time employees. The company is in the process of interviewing the rest of the new hires now and plans to have all 1,000 in place by the summer. They will work between 10 and 30 hours a week mostly on weekends for $15.78 per hour with limited benefits. The temporary positions will last "as long as demand continues for the Jeep Wrangler and the Jeep Cherokee," said Jodi Tinson, Chrysler spokesperson for manufacturing and labor communications, to Autoblog in an email.
