That's what I did. The insurance company gave me $17k for my 2007 base coupe. Then I went out and found the right deal, $16.5k for my SRT6.

It was about 9pm and I was headed eastbound on Maple Avenue through Lisle, Illinois. I was crossing Yackley on a green light at full speed (about 50) and a black Toyota Camry blew the northbound red light. He actually stopped at the intersection and then drove through the light. Fortunately a police officer was directly behind the Camry and witnessed the entire accident.

If anyone is in the market for a Magnaflow exhaust or extra set of silver OEM wheels, Oscar at White Eagle Autobody in Naperville, Illinois is holding them and can be contacted for purchase. $400 for the wheels and $400 for the exhaust (willing to flex on prices) The exhaust was bought new in May and the wheels have some minor curb rash on 3 of them. I do NOT have the center caps though.

Really sorry to hear this. Yours was really set up quite fine. Loved the gunmetal and how it really went well with the white. Hope you're OK and end up getting another one soon.

Take care and be safe

I've heard several videos of this exhaust, and it's a keeper guys. Very nice euro sound, different from the off-the-shelf Magnaflow units...

Glad to hear you are ok...Now I'm just wondering how I lived in Lombard for over a year and NEVER saw your crossfire...shame. Just look at it this way, WHEN you get a SRT, Eurocharged is just down the road in Plainfield


EDIT: What are the chances you can yank your a-pillars off your car and send them to me

I hate to see any Crossfire bite the dust, but when it's "Alabaster", it's just too close to home for me.
Good to know you came out of it OK, and I'm sure you will be able to find another one to replace it. Good Luck

Great looking XF, very sorry to hear the unfortunate news.
