I still see dealers advertising NEW 2006 Crossfire coupes and roadsters!
Does anyone know why? Mister B

What do you expect them to do with unsold inventory. Bury them?

They aren't NEW anymore but marketing them as UNSOLD or NEW FROM OLD
STOCK may be just as good as burying them )

Perhaps they should have the dealers drive them around the block a few
times and sell them as EXTREMELY LOW MILEAGE used cars )

It's tempting: small town Ohio here.....an indendent (but reputable)
used car dealer has a used '06 Coupe.........3300 miles, balance of
warranty.....very pretty car in medium metalic blue. Asking $19,000.
Now, that's depreciation!

I guess the thing that stops me is the thought of what those Benz parts
will cost in the future.

I understand there are several dealers around the nation that have
unsold Crossfires. I think that they are stuck with them, as Chrysler
probably won't take them back for either cash or credit.

It should stop you indeed. Nevermind if it is physically the same as
any other type of Benz motor or other parts.. since it is for
Crossfire, it will be *RIDICULOUSLY* expensive. I used to work on
mercedes-benz junk and it ****ed me off every time i tried to use
something as simple as an inside door handle from a parts car in
another car with a different ch***is model and found it to be just
slightly different enough so as to not be useful without looking
extremely ghetto. Either that, or it just didn't work. Not like
the old days of MoPar where everything had the same window crank, door
handles, voltage regulator, alternator, etc.

I'd worry less about the Benz parts (the drivetrain is shared with a lot
of other Benz cars) as the Crossfire-specific body and interior parts....
