ok was just maken sure i know with alot of model cars the first year it is out is never the good year to get ir because of unattended problems and i just dont want any of that...but the more i think of just the reg XF and how much i liked it the more i cant wait to see a srt6 hopefully my insurance feels the same way

 

i kind of forgot i took this pic of the XF i was test driven yesterday hopefully going to look at an all white one thats a 6sp it is a high mile XF so i will not buy it i want a lower mile car but just to see a white one and test drive the 6sp will be nice

 

6 speeds are fun. Only the NA's have the manual transmission, ALL of the SRT's are automatic's.

 

yea i know. i drove a stick one. it wasnt bad but i think i enjoyed the overall car more in the automatic. could sit and enjoy itr when i want to and mess with the slap stick when i wanted to get on it

 

You gotta get what makes you happy.

 

happy/can afford (i think)

 

so the dealership called me they are at 10.5 out the door for the 2004 crossfire. its an automatic. has 36k miles on it. whats your guys thoughts? it will need new tires by the end of next year or so so i think i am going to use that to try and get them to 10k flat. ill be more than happy and comfortable doing it at that price considering this is my first car i will be doing payments on. i been buying out right forever...no credit at all so this will also help me build my credit. after i get them to the 10flat if i can ill introduce that i am in the military (navy logistics specialist) for the militarty discount and hope for 9.5 otherwise if i cant ill just introduce it than and try for 10. any body have any MUST doo's first. i am going to get all fluids changed. and of course the speaker upgrade with the crossover.

 

here is the link to the car i looked at n test drove. let me know what u guys think. i like it. i think i need to take it out for a nice day...a whole day not have of one and actually drive it on some turns. the highway. not just the 65mph hwy threw town and the neighborhoods and try and bring it to my old work and have one of the techs look at the car 2004 Chrysler Crossfire Red 35k

 

Looks good Brother! Though I have heard that red is the slowest color. That not withstanding If You think It's going to need new tires next Year, It's going to need them this Year! Make sure You do a Vin search!

 

i know..it is the slowest out of them all...and being a coupe! god what did i get myself into. lol.

 

so i was on the phone all day low balling the **** out of the dealership and there counter was 9.8...+ i convinced them to get me an extra remote and a 4yr warrenty covering everything except belts,brakes,and tires which would have been 250 for the remote and 1500 for the warrenty and got it for a final ending price of 10.5. my mom co signed and got a 5.95% rate so my payments with what i put down are only 200. I feel i did good for my first bargain!!!!

 

just went and picked up my new baby!! ended up going with the extra 3yr 36k mile warranty and it covers everything except belts,lights,brakes,and tires. everything else is covered. i also talked to my old job ( Napelton Mercedes Benz and Jaguar n volvo) they are going to be doing any work on the car. there is a mechanic there by the name of tony who has been working on benz for 25years he will be doing all the work

 

Hey!!! Way to go!! Now we can teach you the secret handshake. Maybe we'll catch you at one of the GTGs this summer.

 

i will def go to a show! i love car shows. been going to them/hustlen people in the are with buddies car since i could drive. hell itd be fun to get a srt6 out here with some work to it and **** some people up.

 

so i had a chance to snap some photos before having to run errands etc etc. anywho they were taken with my cell phone so quality was **** when i put it on my comp. but just to show yaa my Xfire .

Be sure to follow this thread once spring arrives.
I attend many cruise nights in Naperville on Wednesday's throughout the summer......

Have a look at the past Chicagoland Cruise Nights

 

im game, not a car show entry type of guy and the car has scratches here n there but definitely game to meet up with fellow XF members

 

so the tint on the car wasnt doing it for me...had to be darker. I ended up going with another layer of 35% on every window. including the windshield, installed a new kenwood kiv-701 deck. 6k HID's, and i think im going to paint my wheels gloss back, and than do some carbon fiber wrap on the roof? here is a quick edit of the wheels http://www.flickr.com/photos/68480037@N03/6898123757/http://www.flickr.com/photos/68480037@N03/6898123757/ by http://www.flickr.com/people/68480037@N03/, on Flickr
