Here's the deal - a brand new 2007 base coupe with sticker price near 31000 for just 17000. I test drove the car today, but I thought the interior was kind of cheap looking. There didn't seem to be a cupholder in sight. My first sports car was a 1974 Triumph Spitfire, and that didn't have a cupholder, but now - I think I need one. Otherwise, the car handled like my old Spitfire, and moved quite a bit quicker! Does the 3 year 36000 mile warranty include loaner car? Should I buy it for 17000, or wait for the Pontiac Solstice coupe? Thanks for all your help!
What dealer?
As of today, some dealers are offering a flat 18k off of MSRP on any 2008 NEW Crossfire. The remaining units are scheduled to go to auction, and this is the last year they'll be sold.
I was offered an auto w/leather but w/out nav for $16,900 plus TTL earlier today on a new one from a Texas dealer (I had them send me the written, signed paperwork on it).
Bad cars for winter driving, and choppy ride, though. Also, fuel mileage is bad.
Mine reminds me of a cross between the 78 vette I had & the 73 Triump GT6 MKIII I had. Only much higher quality than either & faster & quicker than both & better mpg!!

Well, after haggling a few more days, the dealer came down to 15,857.00 plus tax and license. I walked out of Larry Reid's Bloomington Chrysler with a brand new 2007 base Crossfire coupe in black for 17,334.00. The MSRP was 30,745.00. I've been driving this car around for about 2 weeks now, and I like it more every day. It reminds me of my 1974 Triumph Spitfire, only with alot more power. There's not much room in the interior, and no cupholder. The radio has a bothersome lag, but all that is forgiven when you hit the curves - or hit the GO pedal! By the way, my first tank of fuel brought 23.4 miles per gallon. I'm not complaining.
That is an amazing deal.
You said it was a base - does that mean manual?
Either way, that's less than a Honda Civic.
Congratulations!!!
They faxed me an offer to sell a manual coupe (only two left with stick shifts) for $16,080 plus TTL, or an automatic coupe w/out nav for $17,400 plus TTL.
The salesman was very honest and told me that they were planning on sending any cars that didn't sell to auction by the end of the month, and that he honestly didn't know what they would fetch at auction.
I am torn because the two seat only config with limited trunk space could be very inconvenient at times, though the price is appealing.
For the manual, I'd be OTD for $17,224 for a new '08 with 12 miles on it.
I passed on the car. Even after the dealer offered to throw in some extras. My s/o and I have been looking for a car for a year or so, but two seats just don't work, and I think the economy is going to get much worse and deals will be better on even now hot selling cars.
Cheers,
Don
What dealership, state, city? Did you get the lifetime powertrain warranty?
On another forum I've heard some recently say some cars with such mileage were owned by Chrysler & as such they weren't getting the lifetime powertrain warranty...as the individual was not the "first owner"....
The VIN is 8X076028....THAT MEANS IT WAS ONE OF THE LAST 20 EVER BUILT.
Wife happy.....it'll be hers......Mine's an'07 6 speed with the lifetime powertrain ....when I gave $23K for it a year ago I felt like I stole it from Chrysler.....but at $17K this almost unbelievable!!!!
When I paid $23K for my 6 speed (with Lifetime Powertrain) in Dec '07.....I felt like I was stealing it from Chrysler......this deal (since the sticker on this one is >2K more than mine) is an $8K better deal (auto & nav).
I approached locals to match as there are still about 20 7s & 8s left in KC area....their reply = " Drive carefully to Illinois. "
zq8.....is that you on the other forum? Yeah, it was built on 12/11/07.....factory stopped on 12/17/07...as I understand it. Kinda impressed with her automatic....but still prefer my 07 stick.....she named hers Wilma & mine Fred.
2 estimates were around $1,200-1300 to fix.....still a good deal....but it's an kind of a Klingon honor thing.
Again.....BRAD (zq8)....THANKS!!!!!!!
Coming back (Yahoo maps I-80 & I-35) was basically a dry snowless piece of cake....so cannot yet comment on the automatic XFire in snow.
It has N filled Conti all seasons.
Although it's her XFire, she had me drive it back & she drove the HHR back, cause she was concerned about knowing where all the controls (wipers-washer, etc.) whereas I have been driving one for over a year. The biggest problem I had was driving < 80 so I didn't lose her in the HHR. I'm not knocking the HHR....we've had nothing but good experience with it & are keeping it as a backup & to haul stuff in...only has 38,000 miles & XM, remote start, auto-dimming mirror, real nice. I had it up to 115 before & reset the driver info center to determine what kind of MPG it got at those speeds.....I guess everything sucks gas at 115?
