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.

Is Chrysler's 'America's Import' campaign outdated or offensive? [w/poll]
Tue, 04 Nov 2014Chrysler launched its America's Import campaign with a splashy ad during the Super Bowl starring Bob Dylan and featuring a whole bunch of patriotic imagery that included Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, factory employees and, of course, the city of Detroit. Since then, the brand has followed the original spot with even more ads using the same tagline. Not everyone is pleased, it seems, including The Detroit Free Press auto critic Mark Phelan, who's fed up with the marketing. In an editorial for the newspaper, Phelan claims that it's insulting to the US auto industry and its workers.
"The phrase 'America's import,' with its suggestion that 'import' equals 'better,' feels terribly dated, a relic of the 1980s. It's the rhetorical equivalent of hanging a pastel-hued 'Miami Vice' poster on your office wall," writes Phelan in the piece. Also, since some of the brand's cars are made in Canada, the line isn't even entirely true, he claims. Phelan goes on to praise the company's earlier Imported from Detroit commercials for getting the right message across and showing pride in the city.
While "America's Import" might be the tagline for Chrysler's ads, it's not the whole message. Subsequent ads keep the hard-working, patriotic imagery from the original Super Bowl spot but put a bigger emphasis on the Chrysler 200 that the commercials are meant to sell.
Fiat stock rockets up after word of Chrysler deal
Thu, 02 Jan 2014Now that Fiat has finalized a deal to purchase the outstanding shares of Chrysler owned by the United Auto Workers' VEBA retiree heathcare fund without having to file for an IPO, you can count the Italian automaker's stockholders among the happy. The Detroit News reports that Fiat stock closed Thursday with a 12-percent gain for the day on the Borsa Italiana, having been up by as much as 15.8 percent during the day's trading, at prices not seen since mid-2011. One trader reasoned the run was because Fiat "paid less than the market had expected and there will be no capital increase to fund this."
But there are some who worry, including bank analysts and unions. The final price of the stake will be $4.35 billion - $1.9 billion in cash from Chrysler, $1.75 billion from Fiat and extraordinary dividends in the amount of $700 million paid over three years. Adding that sum to its ledger will raise Fiat's debt level to roughly 10 billion euros ($13.8 billion), which Citibank says will make it the most indebted OEM in Europe.
Italian unions are also concerned about what the deal means for the future. Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne has had an at-times contentious relationship with both unions and the Italian government over the future of Italian manufacturing, a fact that makes headlines because Fiat is Italy's largest private employer. At least two left-leaning unions have publicly called on Fiat to give guarantees and to explain what the deal means for its Italian operations, while a centrist union argues this is "good news for Fiat workers, for the auto industry and for our country."
Fiat talking with banks about buying rest of Chrysler
Wed, 13 Feb 2013All that stands in the way of Fiat's total ownership of Chrysler is a 41.5-percent stake currently held by the United Auto Workers healthcare trust, but according to SFGate.com, Sergio Marchionne is currently trying to raise the capital to complete the acquisition. The article says that a deal could be completed in as soon as 12 months, and the estimate for the remaining stake could cost Fiat SpA around $2.98 billion.
With a goal of completing the deal by the end of 2014, Marchionne is said to be in talks with various banks to help finance some of the deal. According to the report, the banks have indicated a need for a stronger balance sheet, controlled debt and reserve cash.
Two things that don't seem to be on the table to get the deal completed include issuing new shares to raise the capital or selling a stake in Ferrari. Fiat started with a 20 percent share of Chrysler in June 2009, and it raised its stake up to 58.5 percent in January 2012.
