Congrats!!

 

I finally found the perfect Crossfire!
2004 Coupe, beautiful red, grey leather interior, you know the drill.
21000 + miles, one owner, and flawless!
Found in Seattle (only driven when not raining, explaining the miles...)
Very happy to be here, thanks for the help.
Rob

 

You say you found it.
Did you get it? Is it yours now?

 

only driven when not raining in Seattle? Wouldn't it have 2100 miles in 6 years instead of 21000

seriously though, good luck with the car

 

come on billvp.... we do have summer up here in the PNW... even in Seattle...

I did buy my first '04 SSB coupe from a lady up on Whidby Island in '07 that had 2100 miles on it and had never been in the rain or off the island.... what a sweet car that was...

 

Mine was a daily driver for 4 years and drove in the rain. Garaged the entire time and I kept it clean as a whistle! Washed it after each rain storm... even twice a week sometimes. It is no longer my daily driver so it will never see another drop again

 

is my post really the first post or is it my computer? wtf?

 

Really not driven in rain.........really man really. jeez

ps Grats

 

cool trick! do it again! do it again!

 

My car gets driven in rain, snow whatever and you know what? It's still running and if I bother to wash and wax it it'll still look decent and hell right now it's only a $14,000 car (2005 limited roadster) and I don't see it appreciating any time soon. And a 6 cylinder Sonata will still beat it in a drag race.

 

Not sure what I am missing here, but a V6 Sonata has 235HP according to numerous sites, what makes you think a car with 5 more hoprsepower than the XF, quite a bit heavier, and an auto could beat it in a 1/4 mile??

Did you get one of the slow ones?? LMAO

 

Keep driving your XF in all kinds of weather. It won't be worth 14,000, shortly. But that's the beauty of the XF, I keep mine in the garage out of the weather (except an occasional rain) because that's what I want to do with it. It is still the best value there is as far as I'm concerned.
Oh, and congratulations on your happiest of days. Mine was 2 years ago, and still is.

 

Thanks you guys, The XF was loaded on a transport truck today (On the top!) on its way to its new home in Montana
Let the games begin!!!!

 

To my friend, , Tighed 1 (I do hope you understand what fun it has been for me,) going back and forth on these forums about black crossfires, and it has been ALL IN FUN, for me, anyway.

Oh, just one other thing, why are you posting on the coupe forum anyway,(since you own a SRT coupe and A SRT roadster,) slumming-hehehe


JUST KIDDING

 

Hey, Bob 1340- looks like you and I have much in common,@ I too live in Michigan,(Holland-Fennville area,) I am 71, and I bought my 2005 limited coupe last August. With out a doubt, this is the best car I have ever owned, and I have had a bunch, over the years. My only regret is, because of the weather in Michigan, I cant drive my black beauty until spring. It is in the garage nice and clean and fully detailed, hooked to a battery tender until the roads dry up.

 

To Bob --- the Crossfire only has 215 hp and the Sonata goes from 0-60 in about 5.9 secs. And as for the car not being worth $14,000 soon...who gives a ****. I drove my Vette all year around too. They're made to be driven. If I have to put it under glass then what's the point. By the way...I'm sure when you got your car the dealer had left it out on the lot when it rained and lo and behold the car survived.

 

I am not Bob, but the crossfire is actually more like 230HP, it is RATED at 215 by Chrysler because Mercedes did not want them stepping on the SLKs toes, but rest assured, the 215 is a low number. The Sonata is NOT a sub 6 second 0-60 car, sorry, but instead of just saying it, here is some proof....

Hyundai Sonata Review - Wikicars - 6.6
Hyundai 0-60 times - 7.0
Car and Driver (have magazine) - 6.6

I am new to this internet thingy, but I could not find one place that listed ANY sonata at 5.9

 

Who is Bob?

 

where is bob?

 

Well, I am a Bob..... But not that Bob. LOL
