The car is incredible. 14K miles. Blaze Red Pearl Roadster Limited Auto. Rear tires have 7/32 or so of tread and front tires have 8/32 or so. Original tires. Oil always changed with required Mobil1 0W-40. 1 owner.

Only thing wrong is the cigarette lighter is lost. I need to find either that or a black plastic cover for the power outlet.

100% stock with no aftermarket parts.

Funny, after purchase the service prompt came on at the milage indicator. The owner had no idea what it was, but I had a hunch so no concern there. I need to study the book to see how to reset. It's the two wrench icon so maybe I need a new transmission. Just kidding.

I would like to thank everyone that has helped me here and followed our quest for the ultimate Xfire. I believe we have found it. My God, only 14K, the car is not even broke in yet!

Well, off to the garage to tuck it in for the night.

BTW, the Ranger FX/4 is not happy being evicted from stall #2 in a two car garage.

We are happy campers and look forward to picking many brains here.

Two pics in my gallery, but you guys know what these look like

Ours had 17K on it and the steering stabilizer needed replaced as does about 90% of them from what I have read here. Do yourself a favor and read up on the threads here on them and see if your car qualifies for a new one. You think it drives sweet now, wait till you spend $30 and 20 minutes to install one and then go drive it!! This forum is great.
