Vehicle Description

2005 Chrysler Crossfire Convertible

The Chrysler Crossfire is a rear-wheel drive, two-seat sports car that was sold by Chrysler and built by Karmann of Germany for the 2004 to 2008 model years. Developed during the union of Daimler and Chrysler, the two-seater is based on the Mercedes-Benz R170 platform which shares 80% of its components with the first generation SLK. The second generation SLK was built on a new R171 platform starting in the 2005 model year; the R170 platform was essentially handed down to Chrysler for use in building the Crossfire. The name "Crossfire" refers to the two character lines that run from front to rear along the body sides - their crease directions cross below the mirrors on the door panels. Conceived during the period of Chrysler's ownership by Daimler-Benz, the name also refers to the collaboration of the two companies.

For consignment, a 2005 Chrysler Crossfire convertible. With a mere 2873 original miles it is essentially a new car. The break in oil was changed and it was otherwise stored in a climate controlled garage for its life entirety. It is an all original car, even down to its tires which show a manufacture date of 31st and 34th week of 2004. An amazing piece of the Chrysler Daimler merger and sporty fun is what this car is all about.

Exterior
Reminiscent of the SLK of yore, this ribbed hood long front end teardrop edged headlights car even has the side vents on the front quarters with horizontal chromed trim spears just like the motherland original. A horizontal ribbed swept back grille and body matching, (Inferno Red Crystal Pearl), integrated bumper all rounded over nicely creates the slip through the air front end. A wide chromed windshield surround accentuates the swept back look, and a black canvas convertible top in showroom condition, all rounded over like the hardtop version, and working its way to the rear deck, aero slicing is always the key. Speaking of which, a thin spoiler adds to the sportiness as does the rounded tail lights and another integrated body matching curved rear bumper, with dual centrally located exhaust exits. Here the German influence appears more Porsche Carrera, but still distinctly Chrysler. 18-inch wheels in front and 19-inches on back are wrapped by BF Goodrich tires which are like new, but are the originals, on all 4 corners.

Interior
Inside quality smooth two tone light and dark gray leather wraps the high back buckets for the two passengers. These chairs have power adjustments. A sexy silver console races forward to the dash, and has a glovebox in back and also houses the parking brake lever and shifter. As it rises to the dash, all "aluminum" plastic parts create a central panel and a machine age look. Here we have the climate controls and the factory AM/FM/CDl stereo. More toggles are present for various functions and conveniences. To the dash front where we see green backlit instruments in analog format with digital display inserts to show odometer and clock. Noted the extra shift gate to move the shifter to Tiptronic automatic stick shifter mode. Interior door panels are sleek and simple design with the use of some more brushed aluminum highlighting and gray leather abounding. Black carpeting covers the floors, and noted bending the seats are dual arched brushed aluminum steel roll bars for extra protection.

Drivetrain
Within the original clean engine bay sits a 3.2 liter fuel injected V6. On the back is a 5 speed Mercedes Benz 5G-tronic automatic transmission. The rear axle weighs in at a speedy 3.27 gear ratio.

Undercarriage
Extremely clean and well cared for with no rust, surface or otherwise seen anywhere underneath. A stainless steel dual exhaust snakes its way rearward to the center dual exit. Independent coil spring suspension is on front, and a 5 link coil spring suspension on the back. Power disc brakes are reserved for all 4 corners. No runs, drips or errors under here!

Drive-Ability
As expected it fired right up, and on the test track performed without a hitch. Smooth powerful acceleration, good handling, and the tiptronic automatic stick shifter worked well. Straight bias free panic stopping, and all functions were operational and factory condition at the time of my test drive.

Emulating a Mercedes SLK is not the worst thing that can happen and this car morphs that design into a distinctive Chrysler American sports car feel, retaining the technology from the Benz. Nice design, low drag coefficient, snappy interior and some good power. We have a wiener..uh sorry a WINNER! (I got caught up in my German)
