Default Re: What made you buy your Crossfire
In spring 2005 I was looking for a second car and saw a black '04 sitting off to the side at a Chrysler used car lot. Immediately I recognized it's European styling, and loved the hood strakes as I first saw it from the front. Asked the salesman WHAT it was, and he said, "Ah, it's our biggest mistake that you probably don't want and probably can't afford".
I had NO more knowledge of it than that. Pulled out my wallet and paid cashfor it on the spot,(blew the salesman's mind). Got the full warranty coverage. An awesome car.
Sadly, after being T-boned by a jerk in our other car, my wife's injuries prohibited her from getting in/out of my little car. Had to trade her in (the car)for a 300 Ltd. within a year.
Here in E. TN., five years later, I saw another XF in my neighborhood when I was out walking my dog. My wife saw how I looked at it as we walked by each day. She asked if I missed my XF. She surprised me with my present '05 Graphite Metallic Ltd. last April. I thought it was an April Fool's joke! My wife had gotten over her injuries year earlier so now she can ride along with me again.
Oh, and just like Franc, I loved both my wife and my Crossfire at first sight. They are both keepers.
