Hello, I am about to be the owner of a 2004 white Crossfire. It was kind of forced on me but I will enjoy having it. Its going to need a lot of work and loving care and I have not seen it except in passing, not sure of what I'm getting into. lol
Glad I have a resource like this to help me. So thanks ahead of time.

 

This is a story I have to hear...... I have heard a lot of excuses for buying a crossfire, but never of one being forced upon them......

 

Helping a family member

 

Nope.....I understand fully....lol

 

In other words you are rescuing that baby!! Welcome to the Perma Grin Club!

 

Doesn't matter what the circumstances are as to how you wound up with it. The only thing that matters is, (if you're a car enthusiast) it's quite possibly a blessing in disguise.
You live in a state where the weather lets you drive your car all year round.
You have the "coolest" color, (to help reflect the hot Florida sun).
And last but certainly not least, I hope you're getting it for a good price to.
Most importantly, you're helping save a Family members credit score.

If you haven't already figured it out, I dearly love my Alabaster 2004 Crossfire more than just about any other car.
Welcome to the group.

 

Where are you located in Florida?

 

I am located in Saint Augustine. I'm a former 1989 MX-5 owner
I really enjoyed working and cleaning it up. I was sorry that I
Sold it. So yeah I'm excited to have it come my way. I'm just
Hoping it's not in real bad shape. I'm a shade tree mechanic, not
Capable of deep engine work. But I love to fiddle and fix. ( not music)
But no kidding, I don't know what it looks like. Sight unseen. Yay

 

Well, you will find everything you may need right here. Utilize the search feature and if still in doubt ask away. Maybe you will join the Florida Crossfire Group at one of our next Get Together meets. Oh, and don't take some of the folks here to seriously....senses of humor differ but everyone here is here to help and it's an amazing group.

 

That's great news, I lived in Sarasota for 10 years. Family still does. I worked at the Lexus
Store when it was on tamami trail. (Salesman) . I come over from time to time.
Wife went to Cardinal Mooney. Small world.

 

The engines and trannys on these machines are extreemly durable. Most issues are usually repairable by by any common sense mechanic. Electrical can be a bugaboo if water has gotten inside the trunk or ? A very good battery is essential. There are solutions to most problems on this Forum using the search feature. Welcome and enjoy the ride.

 

I have friends in Jacksonville, and I am sure we will be heading that way when the cold gets here....for a visit.. Just ask if you get in trouble.... WE are all shade tree mechanics around here, who had to learn German....

 

I had to stop in and read this thread
Title "Green Pea" ??

Don't understand the title but still want to welcome you to the forum
I think you will quickly fall in love with your Crossfire even if it needs a little TLC
We are here to help and as mentioned by the others here....the search feature will cover most everything you may encounter as far as repair needs

Good luck

Gary

 

Congrats on acquiring the Crossfire & supporting your family member at a time of need. There is nothing more important than family.

Trust us, you're gonna love this car! Stay in touch.

Later,

 

I will explain the title. I worked as a car salesman for 15 years.when a new salesman starts out he is called a Green Pea. This term has been around forever, I thought it appropriate.
