Default New Crossfire SRT-6: $33,900

It has 40 miles on it and they are selling it for $33,900. Isn't that pretty cheap for the supercharged version of the Crossfire? From what I read that sucker is pretty fast and would be a fun ride for that kind of cash.

Anyone know the market on these things?

I don't know the market but I have driven the the SRT-6. While I didn't like the regular Crossfire the SRT-6 was fun to drive and certainly fast. At $45,000+ I wouldn't touch it.

That's a great price. It has the AMG SLK 32's (previous generation SLK) engine. Very easy to modify to almost 400 hp.

I'm over 5'8 (I'm over 1.80cm) and I fit just fine, as I did in my old SLK. Why don't you try adjusting the seat...

I don't get it...

I went to the California Auto Show last year... this was the ONLY vehicle I couldn't fit inside. I even tried a couple different seat positions.

If it had a manual or sequential I'd be all over it...or at least consider it.

the regular crossfire is a hairdresser's car.
