"Used Chrysler Crossfire Overview And How To Buy At The Best Price!"
The head-turning Chrysler Crossfire, introduced in 2004, was the first much anticipated result of the Daimler/Chrysler merger. And it surely was an intriguing blend of German engineering and American style.
Produced through the 2008 model year, this 2-seat coupe or roadster convertible was primarily based on the Mercedes SLK. Initially, the Chrysler Crossfire was only offered as a coupe. The convertible made its debut for the 2005 model year.
Under the hood, the standard engine during the entire production run was a Mercedes 3.2-liter six-cylinder with an output of 215 horsepower and 229 pound-feet of torque. Used Crossover shoppers have a choice in transmissions of either the standard 6-speed manual or the optional 5-speed automatic.
Of particular interest to many is the Crossfire SRT-6 which was produced for just two model years, 2005 and 2006. Powering the SRT-6, and mated with a sport-tuned suspension and a 5-speed automatic transmission, was a supercharged engine that was good for a healthy 330-horsepower that was paired with a five-speed automatic. This version of the Crossover has serious straightline performance. It should be noted, however, that this added performance does make the ride a bit rougher.
Used Chrysler Crossfire shoppers should also note that thare was only one trim level available in 2004 and it included leather upholstery and was generally quite well-equipped with other standard features, including full power accessories, heated and power front seats (8-way driver, 4-way passenger), heated outside mirrors, dual-zone climate control, one-touch power windows, a leather steering wheel, a telescopic steering column, heated front windshield jets, a rear anti-roll bar, four-wheel antilock brakes with BrakeAssist, side airbags, traction control, stability control and a 240-watt 6-speaker audio system with an in-dash CD player.
For 2005, the Crossfire was available in base and Limited trims. The base then came with cloth upholstery and a reduced number of standard features, while the Limited added such features as the power and heated leather seats, an upgraded 8-speaker Infinity sound system, additional sound insulation, a tire-pressure monitor and a number of upgraded trim accents. Used Crossfire Limited shoppers should also note that some of these models can be found with the optional DVD-based navigation system.
In addition to its engine and suspension upgrades, the SRT6 also came with 18-inch front wheels and 19-inch rear wheels along with pearl leather seats with suede inserts.
Also found in the used market are base models with the optional Special Edition package which was available for the 2006 and 2007 model years. It included exterior Inferno Red Crystal Pearl paint, a black windshield surround, Dark Slate Gray cloth upholstery, SRT-6–like cast-aluminum wheels and satin silver door handles and side louvers. For 2008, its last year of production, the Crossfire came in just the Limited trim.
Overall, the Crossfire offered sporty looks and performance thoughout its run.
