own a Jeep grand cherokee 05. I want to get rid of it A. It has 40,000 miles no warrenty b. the price of gas. c. I make long trips every week and I want something smaller. I am looking into buying a Chrysler crossfire the main reason for the trade is because this car is a really really good deal even if I don't like it I can trade it in a year from now and still make out. Does this sound like a decent deal $12,500 for a 2004 Chrysler crossfire loaded with 20,000 miles?

If you are buying the car for $12,500 and it is in good condition with 20,000 miles, a clear title with no salvage or accident damage, and your mechanic checks it out, you have one heck of a deal. You are buying the car for wholesale value!.
Now comes the trick, are you trading in your Jeep? If so, what are they giving you for it? They may be giving you less for your Jeep than it is worth, and making a serious profit that way.
If you want to e mail me the information on the Jeep, I will research the current market value for you.

Yes, it sounds like one heck of a deal. Maybe too good of a deal. If I were you, I would ask if it has ever been totalled or flooded and make sure I get clear title. I noticed the JGC gets 20 mpg on the highway and the Crossfire gets 25. Not great, but an improvement. And yes, the Crossfire is smaller, not to mention much sportier.

The Crossfire was a great concept that fell short in the styling department. However when you take the bizarre skin off of it, you have the mechanical components of an SLK 230 Mercedes hiding in there. If you look at the value of a 2004 SLK 230 you will see that your deal is quite respectable. Now get the car checked thoroughly by a reputable mechanic, and get a CarFax report and you will be all set.

Not sure how much better your mileage will be, but it's a good deal on a cool car you will not see @ every traffic light.
Do it!

you're not gonna trade it in in a year and still make out on it!
if you're gonna trade find something you'll like. you'r probably not gonna get what you owe on you current by trading and then if you trade again in a year you gonna take another hit due to depriciation and all the miles you put on it.
