Default First Post, New '04 Black Coupe Owner!

thank you for all your labor of love that makes this forum and community so valuable to people like me. I appreciate this and hope to return the favor somehow.

As of a week ago I have become an enthusiastic owner of a black 04 crossfire coupe. It wasn’t even on my shopping list until I stumbled upon this one at a dealer lot. It had some minor dings and scratches but it runs incredibly great. The best part, this was below my budget and I got another 2k off by paying cash!

more pictures here:

Anyway – I checked there was just a tad of rust under driver’s door and none at passenger side, I will bringing the car for its schedule B maintenance next week.
I plan take good care of this baby, which it seems it had not have for a while.

Like Muscle says, beautiful ride! Congrats and welcome.

BTW Muscle, is your car completely stock for the times you posted? No CAI added etc? Just wondering.

It looks great Schwarzer, we just need some more photos.
Now bring it to the Dragon in a few weeks so we can check it out (and meet you and the lovely lady).
There's no better way to get aquainted with people on this forum and your car than at the Dragon.
Welcome to the best forum on the Web.

Welcome. Yours is a fine example of what is probably the best looking car around for under $50k. Enjoy.

Welcome! Beautiful Xfire!

As far as the door rust problem, I can't believe no one hasn't directed you to this thread: https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...e-you-can.html

Congrats, that is a beautiful Crossfire! Where are you located in the up state? I am in Spartanburg and we have several owners in the area. You really need to make it to the Dragon even if it is only a drive up early on Saturday. A chance to see over 70 Crossfires in one place and meet some great people. You will be hooked.
