As stated in this article.... Do you think this number is real?

MotorCities National Heritage Area - Story of the Week

 

I think it would be around the mark. Seems like the xf gets written off on a pretty consistant basis. Due to lack of parts and the low resale values.

 

76,000 were built and sold worldwide.
The article said "with about 50,000 still operating in the US."
Atrition is not that severe.

But Simmie777 is correct. Insurance companies total this thing like it was an Edsel.

 

Franc, that's the number I always thought was correct, but this is what's being posted up on the internet now.

These are supposed to be the # of cars built in each "respective" year.

2003.....35,700
2004.....28,000
2005.....12,500
2006.......4,805
2007.......2,000
Total.....83,005

 

Very good read. Especially the rare SRT-6 part.

 

Nice to see this forum getting a positive plug. Kinda wonder about the camraderie and support comment. We have to protect our reputations as curmedgeonly and sarcastic.

 

What happened to 2008, some were made for that Model year.

If we use 2007 as a guide, it was probably 2000, or less...

 

I think all those numbers are off by one year because there was also no model year 2003.

 

The last car rolled of the line in Dec 2007, I have a 2004 and it was made in 2003. This is normal practice, there were cars on the road in 2003 and these were 2004's.

You cannot make all cars in their model year, some are made the previous year, and the remainder in the model year up until tooling changes for the next model year.
You can probably go out now and buy a 2012 model car somewhere.

 

I have seen every number from 76K to 83K units made. I used 76K here because that is what the article used. I did so hoping no one would call me out on it.

fat chance I guess.

What,,, Was,,, I,,,Thinking?

 

Well, it says built in "year".....there were none built in 2008.....production stopped mid Dec. of '07..

Last VIN was 76,048.....Wilma = 76,028.......anybody here own a higher VIN?

 

I think I've asked this before & if anyone answered...I don't remember.....

Do the vehicles that went somewhere besides the USA have VINs within this 76,048 sequence?

I was under the impression they did & that out of the 76,048....about 50,000 were brought into the USA.....

 

Franc, as I said, 76k+ is the number I always thought was correct.
I just posted up what I found on the internet at several locations.

As Chris L pointed out, has anybody seen a higher VIN? I don't have a clue where they came up with these #'s. For example, my 2004 Crossfire's production is 19280. It was built in Jan of 04. and that's 16,420 less than they said were built in 2003. So the #'s being posted by Wikipedia (and elsewhere) aren't accurate. Sorry I did a search and posted what I found.
Didn't mean to besmirch your post. What was "I" thinking?

 

OK, I will start........I have two....who's next?

 

For the 2008 model year the last crossfires were produced on December 17, 2007.
076046 coupe and 076047 roadster.

I read somewhere that our forum or club is one of the top five of all car clubs
