Congrats on the nice find!
I just became a Crossfire owner myself, only a week ago. I actually thought about buying one years ago, but I think I talked myself out of it when I read a few online reviews that weren't real positive. (Specifically, I remember a reviewer saying it was essentially "an old Mercedes Benz with outdated technology in the suspension", and about the non supercharged SRT-6 version, complained it felt underpowered.)
About a month ago, though, I saw a couple of them parked in lots at stores around town, and they looked great. It made me think about them again (and how much I wasn't enjoying the ownership experience with the Jeep Patriot 4x4 I'd been using as my daily driver!).
I found this forum, did a lot of reading, and decided I was going to get one! I managed to locate a rare SRT-6 convertible for sale about 6 hours away from me, but the price was right so I made a road trip and got it! They're definitely a lot of fun, but like any relatively low-production car or truck -- you really need to be an enthusiast about them. Little things like locating replacement trim, levers or *****, if one should break, can turn into a big project. Many seemingly big problems (like the car suddenly stalling while driving it) turn out to have pretty minor solutions, but knowledge is the key to not getting screwed for big $'s by dealers on the stuff.

I told my wife I would set her up here so she could learn more about her new pride and joy. I spend most of my forum time on the CVO Harley board so I guess we're even now. Ha ha.
I hope we got a good one. She loves it and I'm happy for her!
