2006 Chrysler Crossfire – $2,850

The Luxury Sports Car for People Who Hate Themselves

The Chrysler Crossfire is what happens when a Mercedes SLK and a PT Cruiser have an unholy love child—except instead of inheriting the Mercedes’ refinement or the PT Cruiser’s… well, anything of value, it just got weird proportions, Chrysler-grade interior plastics, and a back end that looks like it was inflated with a bicycle pump.

This particular example has been slow-roasting in a forest of pine needles, because nothing says “well cared for” like parking your car where squirrels can claim squatter’s rights. The seller claims it “just needs a wax and wash”, which is an interesting way to describe a car that looks like it’s one strong gust of wind away from the bumper detaching itself. The headlights have entered the frosted privacy glass stage of neglect, and that suspension? Either it’s got an aggressive stance, or it’s been compressing under its own disappointment.

Buy Rating: Only if you want to experience the thrill of Mercedes engineering with all the charm of Chrysler’s bankruptcy era. At $2,850, it’s not a great deal, but at least it’s not a Sebring.
