Actually I leased it, but it's almost the same difference. This car is totally bootleg. Hopefully I'll have pics in the next couple days after I get it washed up and waxed; the guy at the dealership did a lousy job.

It has Alabaster (white) exterior and Black/Cedar (black/red) interior with the 6 speed manual.

So like...someone made a copy of a Crossfire and sold it too you???
I like the Crossfire a great deal myself....even though Top Gear dogs on it so much.
 

It's a very nice car, but I wouldn't pay >$30,000 for a Chrysler unless my life depended on it. My parents paid $24K for a Jeep Liberty a couple years back, and I think even that's stretching it.

EDIT: oh, and how is leasing almost the same as buying? When you lease, you pay a monthly payment, and at the end of your term, you give the car back. With buying, you pay a monthly payment, and at the end of your term you're able to keep the car. That seems like a huge difference to me.

it is based off the same car I drive (SLK) and I love my car. I was actually thinking of waiting for a crossfire convertible maybe.

tell me how is the ride, it is stiff at all?

I haven't driven it enough to say, but it is a firm ride, but not too firm. The covertible's are starting to hit the showroom floor. My car, which was on the showroom floor, was replaced by a dark grey covertible.

The average person these days trades their car in for another car long before it's ever paid for.

May as well be leasing it in this case if you ask me...

The theory is that nomatter what, you're going to end up spending around (car payment) on your car per month over the long term.

Some people see leasing as a way to simply have a new car every 2 or 3 years.

Personally, the feeling of ownership is important to me, so I wouldn't be able to subscribe to this method.
