Default First Crossfire and could not be more thrilled

Hey everyone, want to say thanks for all the great info on the site, I have been reading up before making the purchase of our new 2004 white coupe yesterday. We purchased it for my wife who has always had big/slow cars, I told her she was due for a fun car. We picked it up with 8,502 miles on it and had a 5 hour ride home. About 45 minutes into the ride my wife calls me from the other car gushing over how much she loves it. Here is a picture of it when we got it yesterday afternoon.

8,000 miles - so there ARE some low miles cars left? Who-da-thunk-it?
You have the coolest wife on the block now!

Well, welcome to the family - and just in time for the Fall Dragon - imagine that! See you in three weeks!

Where are these unbelievably low mileage Crossfires coming from? I know there's going to come a time when I'm going to be in the market for another Alabaster XF, and I bet I won't be able to find a low mileage one for love or money.
Congrats on your find, she's sitting in the best color too. IMHO.

I have been looking for a while now, my wife gave me very clear guidelines, a white Crossfire with an auto transmission. So when this one appeared on Craigslist I knew I had to move fast. It's amazing to find an 8 year old car that looks like it just rolled out of the showroom.

Updated...we are north of Chicago about 30 minutes to 3 hours depending on time of day and the number of accidents.

Welcome and glad you found us. So you live somewhere between Evanston to Kenosha.

Welcome aboard. Saw an ad for a 2007 roadster in the UK with 8500 miles on the clock.

You will love your car more everyday, I know I certainly do.
