No Deb you're in the right place ! If what you are looking for is a convertible Roadster....Although this tread is more barging rights...Black, Blue, Red, Slate Grey is better....but you're pretty much on target.

The more treads you read the more informed you become about the cars. There's the base model, you can spot it pretty quick, there is NO chrome (although painted and not really chrome) looking strip around the wind shield - the base unit will not have this . Then there's the step up - the Limited Addition version with the Chrome Looking Window dressing (don't get me wrong there are other settle differences btwn the base and Limit but from the "street view" that's what will stand out)...then there is the CREAM of the CROP....the SRT model !! SRT's are the most valued model you'll see in any of the forums. They are hard to find (limited in production) and are the HIGH PERFORMANCE end of the Crossfire model. The SRT is easy to spot , the back spoiler is HARD FIXED..mounted on the back. The Limit and the base units have the air foil that "pops up" when the car reaches 100klm ..basically 62 mhp. The car comes with both manual and automatic...depends on your flavor or driving. There is a tread on here that folks sell..and buy their cars to member before they'll put them out there for the public..they are comfortable knowing the car wil be well cared for so you'll find postings on here before they hit the "common market".

You and Bob will NOT find a better Forum anywhere ...these folks are special..sure they joke and horse around a bit but if you ask a question or have a problem with anything... from how to change a light bulb to how do I step up the POWER of the car or recommended tires......this is the place to ask !!!! I bought my Base Model Roadster back 3 years ago..these folks have nothing short of FANTASTIC in just about any question or recommendation they could offer.
They have "get togethers"...I'll call it short of CLUBS...but enjoy the car.

IN SHORT...fear not...ask away !! If you are in the wrong tread...you won't be the FIRST...that's for sure and you'll get a "nudge" to the right one from someone on here. No fears...

You find one you can afford I'll highly recommend you drive it...I mean drive it !! like you stole it !!! and come to your own option. As you read on in other forums there are folks selling their PORCH in the pursuit of finding a Crossfire (that's not a joke !! ).

I'm a bit bias...because I own one...but it's the most UNDER RATED Sports car that's ever hit the market and the folks that find them and drive them....TAKE THEM HOME. Hands down the most fun I can have outside of the bed room.
