Hello,

After a couple of weeks of looking we finally found a Crossfire that we liked and could afford. We traded our Mercedes in on a 2004 Silver/Blue Coupe with an automatic Trans and the two tone leather interior. I know some Mercedes owners might not consider such a trade, but in the Crossfire I have never seen such a good deal on a Mercedes. the car we bought seemed to have been really pampered and well taken care of. It looks absolutely brand new.

 

Congratulations on your XF & Welcome aboard to an Excellent Forum!

 

Congrats on your purchase and welcome.

 

Congrats & Welcome to the Forum!!!

 

Congratulations on your new beauty... if it is not a secret which Mercedes did you get rid off?

 

Throw some D's on that *****!

 

Congratulations and welcome to the BEST Crossfire Forum... Now the FUN begins!

 

Congrats - welcome to the forum, have been an owner for a month now - car is terrific - AC worked like a charm last week - it hit 117 on I-95 in Richmond VA . The folks on this forum offer some great insights on owning this car. Enjoy both!

 

I thought my user name would give it away. I traded in a ML320 which has the same engine as the Crossfire. Seems pretty ironic that I traded a Mercedes built in Alabama for a Chrysler built in Germany! Being familiar with MB I was amazed when I first saw all the MB parts on the Crossfire. I had to laugh... It seems that Mercedes built a great car, disguised it as a Chrysler and ended up with a car that was much nicer looking than the Mercedes it shares most of its parts with.

I do all my own work on my cars and have been building cars from the ground up as a hobby for many years. I am already starting to look at this car and looking for ways to personalize it. I would like to change the wheels and do something with the grille (I saw the grille coming at me today on the front of a Chrysler mini van). Unless there are some decent choices I will probably paint it body color with chrome edges.

Exhaust could be a tad louder too. Maybe a Flowmaster with the stock exhaust tips? The craziest thing I have thought of is an engine swap to MB V8. Looks like it wouldn't be all that hard.

 

haha silly of me did not even look at your name... you made a good change.

 

congrats.

 

I may need to change my user name now. Is that possible?

 

Don't think you can. I tried change years ago and was told to just start over.

 

Just start over. You're brand new, this is the right time & comment on this thread with you New ID. Welcome again, to a Great Forum!

 

My name has been changed by the admin. Was LantanaML320 which was my name on the Benzworld forum.

I am about to make the first mod which is the Crossfire emblems. My wife lived in Detroit for a while and learned to really really hate Chryslers. Two weeks ago I dragged her kicking and screaming to the local Chyrsler dealer to test drive one. She quickly admitted that it didn't seem at all like a Chrysler and more like a Mercedes. It took two weeks to find the right one but she still doesn't like the Chrysler name on it. The emblems from Andrew should fix this!

 

Congratulations!

Where is Lantana? Near Houston area?
