Default GREAT Crossfire story that happpened to me today!

Hello everyone, I am a new Crossfire "owner" (leasing the car through my Dad). I have had the car for two weeks, and I absolutely love it! I have had a few head turns, but nothing out of the ordinary.

Anyway, today as I'm out driving in southwest Virginia between Roanoke and Lynchburg, a guy starts following me. Didn't bother me though, since this was on a main road. Well, as we get into a open 2 lane stretch, he pulls up next to me, pointing in my directions. I'm like, Oh crap, something is wrong with my car that he notices (I know he isn't looking to race since he was in an old toyota and he was an older gentlemen. Well, I look over at him, and he holds up one of those signs you see on a Crossfire at a dealership:

Chrysler Crossfire Autobahn Tested at 150 mph!

I'm like, wow a real Crossfire fan! He must have just bought one! Well, I let him pull in front of me after the thumbs up and smile I give him, and he puts his blinker on and motions for me to pull off to the side. I thought he was going to lead me to his house or something to show me his new Crossfire. One thing that was also nice was that he had a Virginia Tech sticker on the back of his car, so I knew he was going to be a friendly guy since I go there.

Well, he gets out and comes walking over to me and starts asking me all about the car! I have no problems telling him all about it! He is asking me about the price, the convertible type, and everything else. He tells me that he is looking to buy one; he had that Crossfire ad because his friend works at a dealership down here and threw it out since he didn't have any Crossfires on his lot. When I tell him how reasonability priced the Crossfire is, he is totally surprised and happy. I tell him to look around and he can probably find a good deal on one.

So, I think I just sold a Crossfire to someone!

This was something I was totally not expecting but was had no problem with at all! I love how there are still people out there that love the look of this car and want to get one!

Thanks,
DetroitHokie
