2006 Chrysler Crossfire Limited Roadster; 36k Miles; Aero Blue; Just Like New! on 2040-cars
Meridian, Idaho, United States
|
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, Nissan minivans earn 'dire' crash test results, says IIHS [w/video]
Fri, Nov 21 2014First introduced in 2012, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's small-overlap frontal crash test has become the bane of many auto engineers' existence. It's a particularly steep design challenge because it forces just 25 percent of a vehicle's front end to take the brunt of a 40-mile-per-hour impact. The newly released results of four family-minded minivans underscore just how difficult the crash test is: only one scored an Acceptable rating, and the other three did very poorly. The 2008-2015 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan, plus the 2011-2015 Nissan Quest, all received Poor ratings in the test, the IIHS' lowest possible score. The three of them showed significant crash intrusion into the driver's area. The dummy in the Nissan actually had to be cut out of the vehicle, with an IIHS spokesperson remarking, "the structure collapsed like a house of cards." In the Fiat Chrysler Automobile vans, the steering wheels moved out of the way, making the airbag less effective and letting the driver's head hit the dashboard. While it was not actually crashed, the agency is also giving the 2009-12 Volkswagen Routan a Poor score because it shares a structure with the FCA models. The newly released results of four minivans underscore just how difficult the small-offset crash test is. The refreshed 2015 Toyota Sienna (shown), conversely, earned an Acceptable rating and is also a Top Safety Pick+ because of its optional forward collision warning and automatic braking system. While the crash test dummy moved around during the impact more than the agency would have liked, sensors showed a low risk of injuries. The IIHS tested the Honda Odyssey last year, and it earned a Good overall score, the agency's best ranking. It's also a Top Safety Pick+ vehicle. The only member of the minivan segment left to test is the latest Kia Sedona, and the Institute is reportedly waiting a little longer for Kia to make changes to improve the model's performance. When reached for comment, Nissan spokesperson Steve Yaeger provided Autoblog with the following statement: "Nissan is committed to vehicle safety and believes that consumers should have information about crash protection so they can make educated buying decisions. Nissan is proud of the 2014 Quest's "good" rating in the IIHS front moderate overlap and side impact tests as well as a "good" head restraint rating.
Next Chrysler Town & Country will have foot-operated rear doors
Mon, Aug 31 2015Families are still months away from actually seeing the next-gen Chrysler Town & Country debut at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show, but details are continuing to trickle out about the upcoming minivan. Among several features rumored in the latest leak, the sliding doors and rear hatch are reportedly optional with foot activation, according to Automotive News. It should make loading the van easier for owners with their hands full. The T&C's powertrain sees some efficiency improvements, too. Under the hood, expect an upgraded version of the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and the already rumored nine-speed automatic, according to Automotive News. For the all-wheel-drive version of the minivan, an electric motor would provide the propulsion at the rear axle. Inside, all of the passengers can arrive with their devices fully charged thanks to USB ports for each of the three rows. Plus, for owners who need to make room to haul, the Stow 'N Go seating is now easier to use, too. Like the latest Honda Odyssey, fastidious buyers might even spec an optional vacuum. Earlier spy shots of the van indicate the switch to a rotary gearshift and upgraded infotainment, as well. Following the Detroit debut, the T&C goes into production in Windsor, Ontario, in late February 2016, Automotive News reports. The plug-in hybrid version would come towards the end of the year possibly capable of 75 mpge.
