Chrysler Crossfire 6 Speed Manual 2004 - With a very short production run of only 4 years coupled to their "retro" styling the Chrysler Crossfire was destined to become a modern day classic from the day the first car rolled off the production line in 2004. Developed during the union of Daimler and Chrysler, this stunning two-seater is based on the R170 platform and shares 80% of its components with the R170 Mercedes-Benz SLK320 and they were built by "Karmann" in Germany.
This particular car was registered new in July 2004 so is a first year of production car and one of only 4000 RHD versions of this model that were built over the 4 years. Presented in a deep black gloss with matching leather interior, the exterior is very good and is complimented by recently refurbished silver coloured alloy wheels shod with new tyres ( total cost 800). Inside is lovely with no damage to the leather and "fully Loaded" with air con (recently recharged) etc as all Crossfires are.
Under the bonnet sits a 215 HP version of Mercedes 3.2 L, 18-valve, SOHC V6 engine which when complimented with their slick 6 Speed manual gearbox, guarantees shall we say "brisk" performance but excellent fuel economy. In fact the vendor recently completed a 2500 mile continental driving tour during which the car was subjected to a complete cross-section of driving conditions (enough to say the speed operated rear spoiler was fully extended on more than one occasion) and it returned an average of 35.5 Miles per Gallon. Stated as driving faultlessly with no warning lamps lit on the dash. Note: The Traction control lamp appears to be on in the picture, it is not, it lights up brighter if you turn it off or if there is a fault,that is it in the normal mode.
These cars are ridiculously low priced at the moment, you cannot buy a half decent used saloon car from the Far East for the sort of money they sell for! This will change, prices for good cars in good colours are now rising and a car in this condition/colour combination with only 96K on the clock and a full service history (last stamp shows 93K) will always be sought after.
Currently MOTd until May 2017 the vendor will put a new MOT on prior to the auction. His personal plate will be removed so it will be back on its age related plate by then as well.
