I finally went and got a XFIRE after about 2 years of waiting and I love it!

I am hoping someone can help answer this, does the UK model have the automatic darkening rear view mirror? I find headlights are shining in my eyes all the time and my mirrors dont seem to darken at all...

 

automatic darkening rearmirror is only in the modelljear 2003 !!

 

that explains it then! LOL. I wonder why they removed it...

 

I believe it was only 2004, there was no 2003 XFire as far as I know.

Congrats & Welcome to the Forum!!!!


There were no 2003 Crossfires, only the 2004 model year had the auto dimming mirror

 

I love my autodimming mirror. Stupid of them to take it out.

 

in other countires cars are not grouped by model years but by years of production so.. a 2004 car here might very well be a 2003 over there..

 

can you buy the auto dimming mirror?

 

Another newbie here (well technically not yet). I've been into Jeeps my whole life and with gas prices and school (UTI Exton) I'm ready to get into some speed instead of rocks and mud. My grandmother's birthday was Oct 20 and my mom owns an 04 Roadster she let me drive it. Coming back home down Rt 1 bypass in Delaware she said I can "open it up". So I did. Next thing I know she screams at me wanting to know how fast I was going. Doing 145 with the top down. ABSOLUTELY FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!!!! Right as she chimes in the radar detector starts going crazy so I thought it be prudent to slow down. After that I want my own. It's only a matter of time.
I am looking @ some on Ebay and also around here. I'll be trading in my Rubicon for the Crossfire. One question though, do the SRTs only come in auto?? If so that's gay, I want the 6speed. I did find a guy on Craigslist offering the Supercharger and intercooler for 700. Would it be hard or not good @ all to put that on a non SRT model with the 6 speed?
I figure with the convertible season over I should be able to get a deal on a roadster it seems as though coupes run 13K to 16K and convertibles run 15K to 20K with the SRTs at a premium.
I would prefer an SRT (with a manual) the pewter or charcoal metallic with the two tone interior Cedar and charcoal. But most importantly a 6 speed. 400 a month in gas alone for the Jeep is absolutely retarded. But the days with the top down and doors off make it worth it. Too bad they are over this year. This should be my last year of having to worry about snow. After school ends, hopefully I'll be picked up with BMW or Mercedes and going down no further north then southern SC and no further west than LA.
THIS IS WHY I "NEED" A CONVERTIBLE...

Don't even own on "yet" but I am hooked. only a matter of time now....

Talk to you soon

I have an 2005 Limited and I WISH I had the auto Dimming Rear View Mirror. I wonder if the wiring for it is in the Head Liner area?

Congratulations on your new Crossfire. I lalso wish the clear side markers came standard on Crossfire here in the States.

 

Must be at least a 2005 if it's a Crossfire roadster.

 

Wow, I learned something new. What is is exclusive to the 2004? I love my auto dimming mirror and my 2004!

 

Because it's not mine, I can't be 100% sure of the year, but I do remember when she bought it, she couldn't take delivery of it for a while because the DMV didn't even have record of it being built. So she got a vanity tag (Delaware Tag) FRSTNDE for First in Delaware. I told her to get 1stnDE. I'll ask her for the VIN to clarify...
