Default Just joined the XFIRE club

Just bought her. 60k miles 2005 model. Found this forum looking for parts/mods ect. Tell me what you think. Also i have a few questions.

1. What is the deal with the navigation? It looks like a regular cd player.

2. Any recommendations on a touch screen DVD/NAVI combo under $300?

3. Anything I should watch out for when it comes to the vehicle? Engine? Transmission? Minor problems?

Here she is....

Going by the photo of your car, somebody put the rear wheels on the front, and fronts are mounted on the rear.

OMG!!!!! Your first for sure mod would be to put the wheels on right . If the seller had it that way God knows what else he might done to it; have it gone over by a MB tech ASAP.

YIKES!!! I hope too, that he knows that the tires cannot be rotated!!!!! Each tire/wheel has a set position on the car and so it becomes important to keep them balanced and inflated properly in order to maximize their life! YIKES!!!

Nice looking XFire Coupe (black windshield surround sorta looks good on this blacked-out XFire).

Welcome to THE FORUM. Best one I've ever belonged to.
