Default First time detailing...

Hello, first post for me...
I purchased the Crossfire last Friday and today (Labor Day) decided to give it a good going over. It is a 2005 with 20,000 miles and MAN, there is hardly a blemish on this car. I am the first 'registered' owner. The previous owner was a CD executive living in Michigan. He treated it like it was a $40,000 dollar car. Oh yah, back in '05 it was!!! It is the best $19,000 dollar car I've ever SEEN, that is for sure.

Very nice!
I bought mine on Friday too, and it is just as immaculate as yours, but is an '04. I believe an older couple owned it before me, and they only drove it on the weekends so it still looks (and smells!) brand new. I believe we even paid the same price but mine had less mileage on it. High five!

Congrats! Welcome aboard! You got a GREAT price on that one. I paid $21K for mine (Bought it 7/23/07) with 14,000 miles and the Chrysler Certified Warranty.

blue pearl,

You got that at Luther Brookdale, right? I recognize that car! I checked it out last time I took my Limited in for an oil change. It's a sweet ride. I'm glad it found a good home.

Right!
Did you check out the charcoal Roadster also? If it was an SRT-6 that would have been the one in my garage.

You have a heck of a nice GARAGE going yourself!!!

I missed the black roadster. Last time I was there, they had your blue coupe and a black SRT-6 coupe parked next to each other. I was quite pleased to learn that Luther Brookdale has Crossfire-certified techs on staff. They took good care of my Limited.

Yes, I'm quite happy every time I go into my garage! These cars are awesome and they're an unbelievable deal.
