Only owned a 2004 Coupe for 2 1/2 months and really liked the car. We live in Chicago downtown and only had this one car. I was probably over-concerned about the tires and a flat or blowout so I traded it in.

The xfire only had 4,500 miles on it and was in perfect condition. I had purchased it for $16,000 and the trade in value was $17,000. The 300 I bought was used (3 months) and I paid $25,000 with 3,300 miles.

Moral of the story-maybe the xfire is appreciating--who knows.

This is quite possibly the best forum I have ever been associated with. Members are helpful and typically know what they are talking about.

We will be moving in about 3 years to a home versus a co-op and I will purchase another one then when I can have 2 cars.
