It's like getting rid of a motorcycle. The thing just keeps hounding you until you buy another one.
You see,
after owning an 85 C4 Targa, I've really enjoyed the XF's and the people associated with them for over 2 years now.
Anyways,
I looked at a red 96 C4 vert the other day and darn near sprung wood. What a fantastic car!
So,
I can't have both and I'm really needing you guy's to talk me out of this one. Thanks a mil.

 

don't do it... nuff said

 

Ho hum. Another vette.

 

Anyone can have a vette. I see vettes everyday. My buddy just bought a brand new 2010 in June. I love it too, but frankly it really doesn't excite me as much as the XFire does. I can't totally explain why it doesn't, but it doesn't..............

Good luck holding back.

 

Just dont` do it!


Period!


The XF is a different world, a philosophy.

The Corvette is a great car but the spirit of a concept car is not there.... not for me.
I like but I dont love it


Good luck...

 

Don't do it....Vettes are everywhere...I wish I kept my Xfire. But if the feeling persists take a look at the Cadillac XLR base or V model...a Vette in a tuxedo. With the economy the way it is, there are quite a few fine speciments out there and are a steal. My mistake was trading in my Xfire, I should have just bought the XLR and kept my beloved Xfire.

 

Man, I'ld love to have both but the garage hold 2 cars. The CTS and the ???

 

Get rid of the CTS, problem solved.

 

Build a bigger garage or find off site storage. Problem solved.

 

The fun and style of a Crossfire or the open air and performance of a Corvette roadster???

My prescription...get an SRT6 roadster. Problem solved! If that don't petrify you, try Viagara.

 

Vettes are for old guys having a mid-life crisis.

 

I had a Vette and found that other owners were really stuck on themselves.

Crossfire owners are just plain cool!

Vette, pfft. Whatever. Yer better than that.

 

The ONLY Vette that I'd replace my Crossfire with would have to be a really nice 1967 (4spd) coupe.
And I know I'd still miss my Fire.

 

Figure out a way to do both. Get a second job or something for a while.

 

LS1 powered Crossfire...

 

Gotta luv that idea! : )

The other thing I'm concerned with is the warranty is due to expire next year and then the repairs will be out of pocket.

Parts for the Vette are plentiful and cheap. Maybe not so with the Crossfire though it is a very reliable car. $12 grand for short block? It's a little scary.

 

At the risk of sounding repetitive ............don't do it !
As a former vette owner, I still have a fondness for them, but they're ten a penny .......
An independent Mercedes shop will save you money, if you need it, after the warranty runs out, and why would you ever need a 12 grand shortblock when low milage motors are all over the internet for 2 grand.
Vette parts are not 'that' cheap anyway...... Unless it's a C6 Zo6 ................

 

Absolutely ditto on that, and some of the other comments. Yes, all vettes are noticeable. But the XF keeps turning heads because of it's uniqueness. Just like a 67 vette coupe would, and that is exactly what the XF will become someday. That 96, or 2006 Vette won't that's for sure.

 

Vette? ain't that the place you take a sick dog?

 

You are saying you want to buy a Chev-Vette????
