Default Just got an '06!

Finally after months of *looking* I purchased a crossfire. Its a 06, black, 6 spd, cloth interior with 21,000 miles. I couldn't be more pleased with it. It needs a driver side fog light due to a crack, still works though. The previous owner listed it as a limited but I'm 99% sure its a based coupe( I like the blacked out look). It got a little over 28mpg on hwy coming home(300+ miles). The interior is like new. The exterior got a good clay barring, polishing and waxing this weekend. I did the *trunk latch mod* to stop the slight rattle on rough roads. Overall, it seem like a great car!

Only base coupes came with cloth seats and they did not have foglights. All base coupes were black with no silver trim around the windshield and side grills.

You may have a base and someone installed foglights... or you have a limited and someone installed cloth seats.

Thanks for the info. Most likely a base with the fog lights installed. It does have a pop up cup holder, cruise control, polished aluminum door still plates, and a silver engine cover :-) I just ordered replacement K&N filters. I'm impressed by the quality of this car, the way the doors and trunk shut. Also, love the "heavy duty" style gas cap ;-)

If it has a bulb-out indicator, it is definitively a Limited as the Bases don't have that feature and it would be something that has to be programed into the BCM and headlamp switch through DAS to enable. You can test the bulb out indicator quite easily by unplugging a reverse lamp, put it in reverse and wait a few seconds to see if a light bulb icon illuminates on the instrument cluster.

Some other differences:

Silver exterior accents - Limited - Yes, Base - No
Leather, power / heated seats - Limited - Yes, Base - No
Cloth, manual seats w/ adjustable headrests - Limited - No, Base - Yes
TPMS / Garage door opener - Limited - Yes, Base - No
Metal valve stems on wheels (TPMS senders) - Limited - Yes, Base - No
Rubber valve stems on wheels (No TPMS senders) Limited - No, Base - Yes
Infinity radio w/ silver ***** - Limited - Yes, Base - No
Non-Infinity radio w/ black ***** - Limited - No, Base - Yes
Amplifier under passenger floor board and subwoofers behind the seats - Limited - Yes, Base - No
Stainless inserts in sill plates - Limited - Yes, Base - No
Silver cigar lighter - Limited - Yes, Base - No
Black cigar lighter - Limited - No, Base - Yes
Flip-up cupholder - Limited - Yes, Base - No
Center console cubby - Limited - No, Base - Yes* Some people were able to get a cubby as a warranty replacement in their Limiteds.
Fog lamps - Limited - Yes, Base - No
Green fog lamp indicator light next to headlamp switch - Limited - Yes, Base - No
Silver airbox / engine cover - Limited - Yes, Base - No
Black airbox / engine cover - Limited - No, Base - Yes
Bulb-out warning indicator - Limited - Yes, Base - No

Hope this helps.

Sorry to tell you this but you do not have a base coupe. By your description it sounds more like you have a limited and someone put cloth seats in it. Foglights, Cupholder and silver engine covers are dead give aways. So are the door plates. Makes me wonder why you mentioned those specific details because they are the dead giveaways... makes me wonder if you already know what you have but you are pulling our chains!

Unless someone went out of their way to buy all these parts and put them on a base. But that doesn't make any sense so I can't imagine why anyone would do that... especially since we all know the storage bin is better than the cup holder. I can understand why someone would want to put cloth seats in a limited though.....

+1 Base coupes did not come with aluminum sills either....sounds like a Limited that was based out.

I read on an earlier post, the manual cloth seats had more headroom.

Wow, nothing like making something easy. Sometimes I wish I would think like everyone else instead of on such a technical level and miss the most obvious things. LOL

Thanks for all the replies. I think the previous owner added the alum door plates. But doesn't explain cup holder, fog lights or silver cover(guess it could be added to). Really it doesn't matter to me, I love the car! Thanks for the warm welcome. Oh, I'll check the dashboard lights tonight. Thanks again
