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 fires protest organizer at MI assembly plant

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

Chrysler has reportedly fired a Warren Stamping Plant worker for what the company is calling a violation of its code of conduct. Alex Wassell (left), a 20-year veteran with the automaker, was suspended without pay after he was quoted in an article in The Detroit News. The 63-year-old welder repairman helped organize a demonstration against a new work schedule and was protesting outside the Michigan plant on February 28 when he was interviewed. Chrysler then fired Wassell when the paper published his comments. Wassell, has since filed a grievance and says that he's looking for an amicable settlement between his union and his former employer.
Meanwhile, multiple civil liberties groups have spoken out against Chrysler's decision to dismiss Wassell. Both the National Lawyer's Guild and the American Civil Liberties Union have released statements on the situation, with the ACLU saying "Employees have a right to air their grievances, even if that means a public demonstration or a comments to the media."
According to The Detroit News, Chrysler spokesperson Jodi Tinson said that Wassell was fired for "engaging in activity constituting or appearing to constitute a conflict with the interest of the company."

Fiat Chrysler to get $105M fine from NHTSA for recall woes

Sun, Jul 26 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is about to send a powerful message to automakers doing business in the United States, assuming reports of an upcoming $105 million fine against Fiat Chrysler Automobiles comes to fruition. In addition to the record-setting monetary fine, according to The Wall Street Journal, FCA will have to accept an independent auditor that will monitor the company's recall and safety processes and will be forced to buy back certain recalled vehicles. In other cases, such as with Jeep Grand Cherokee and Liberty models with gas tanks that could potentially catch fire in certain types of accidents, FCA will offer financial encouragement for owners to get their recall work done or to trade those older vehicles in on new cars, according to the report. FCA could reportedly reduce its fines if it meets certain conditions, though those remain unclear at this time. These actions against FCA are being taken after NHTSA began a probe into the automaker over almost two dozen separate instances where the government claims FCA failed to follow proper procedures for recalls and safety defects. Included in those safety lapses are more than 11 million vehicles currently in customer hands. These penalties and fines are separate from the investigation over security problems with Chrysler's Uconnect system that allowed hackers to obtain remote access into key vehicle systems in 1.4 million vehicles.

Google car boss: Deal with FCA is just 100 minivans

Fri, May 20 2016

Google and FCA are working together to develop 100 self-driving minivans, but for now, that's it. So says Google car czar John Krafcik. Google is still talking to other automakers about partnerships, Reuters reports. "This is just FCA and Google building 100 cars together," Krafcik told the wire service at an energy conference in Washington. The companies won't expand the project to building an autonomous car, and Google isn't sharing proprietary technology with FCA. The co-developed vehicles won't be for sale, Reuters said. FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne has also reportedly said the deal isn't exclusive. FCA and Google announced their landmark partnership earlier this month to make 100 Chrysler Pacifica hybrid minivans with self-driving technology. The deal was hailed as a major step in advancing the technology and bridging the gap between traditional automakers and Silicon Valley. "Teaming up with Google helps put FCA in a stronger position to compete when it comes to autonomous car research and development, though significant effort remains to introduce this technology into FCA production vehicles," IHS analyst Colin Bird wrote in a research note.
