2005 Chrysler Crossfire

This is an extremely well-kept and well-sorted example of the Crossfire in a very uncommon color combination. You won’t see another example like this pop up often!

My family became the second owners in 2011, when we purchased the car from its original owner in Grand Rapids, MI, with just 7,775 miles. It became the summer fun car for my mother, who retired from Chrysler in 2008. We’d had several Crossfires as company vehicles over the years, and she fell in love. That’s how this one ended up in our family.

The car has been stored indoors for most of its life and every winter. It has been kept outdoors during the past four or five summers, but always goes inside for winter. The original owner had a very large warehouse and car collection, so it was stored indoors during his ownership as well.

The convertible top is a known trouble spot on these cars. The adhesive around the rear glass can fail, allowing water to leak in and damage a module in the trunk. We had the top replaced with a VERY high-quality replacement at a total cost, including labor, of nearly $3,000. It carries a 15-year warranty, with approximately eight years remaining, and the warranty is transferable. This was a proper replacement, not a temporary fix.

The car also sports a fresh set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4 tires, purchased in 2024, just about 1,000 miles ago.

An alignment and oil change were completed while preparing the car for auction.

The brake booster and alternator have also been replaced. Otherwise, the car has been very trouble-free.

The oil was changed immediately after purchase at approximately 8,000 miles, again at 13,000 miles, and then in 2022 at 18,000 miles. That was the most recent oil change before the one just completed. My father handled the bulk of the upkeep on this car, and he has never been one to skimp.

As much as my mother loves this car and the memories it brings back of her 30-plus years at Chrysler, it’s a shame that it’s only been driven about 1,000 miles in the past four or five years. It deserves a loving home. The car is free of any major flaws, but it’s far from perfect… so feel free to rack up some guilt-free miles! The work already done means you can spend more time enjoying it. That convertible top alone makes this car stand out from the rest.

If you’ve wanted a convertible Crossfire, I promise you THIS is the one to buy.
