I would agree with moparfreak on this - if you are not interested in buying don't make negative comments. Surely the forum is there to help fellow members - not to criticise??
As for private number plates (seems they are called 'vanity' in Canada) there is a phrase 'there is nowt so queer as folks' !! What is good for one person is not for another. I got my plate from a nephew 10 years ago - he was a bit short on cash! He had it on his sports car C 5EXX - Illegal spacing I know but like using a mobile phone while driving so many people seem to get away with it. When I acquired it I had a Citroen C5 Exclusive so CF EXX seemed like a good idea at the time. Certainly £400 would be OK for me - but who knows?
Also re the price I am asking. You only have to look at the top 8 priced Crossfires on the Autotrader site to see that they are asking over £7000 some with a mileage higher than mine. My view on this is that an 05 Crossfire is identical to an 07 Crossfire and a spotless 05 with low mileage and immaculate service history should be worth similar to a higher mileage 07.
I truly believe that the Crossfire will be a future classic so in 20 years the age difference will have no bearing on the price - it would be based on condition etc.
If i was out there now looking for a good Crossfire that I could cherish then I think that mine is easily comparable to any of those on Autotrader and I would jump at the opportunity of acquiring (for a similar price) one like mine but with the Startech parts and knowing it was quite unique - a one off as far as I know in the UK
And - as moparfreak commented what a seller asks for his car is not cast in stone - everything is negotiable
I rest my case !!
