Default Fresh Meat

Just bought my crossfire on Monday January 17th. I paid in full and apparently the finance people don't like that very much. I have plans for my baby but finding this forum gave me 99% of the plans so I thank each and everyone of you for posting so often. I live in Orange County California and I think it would be fun to get a meeting together like once a month or every other month if it doesn't already occur. Feel free to PM me with ideas or knowledge of a meeting in the Orange County area. later, and thanks again.

p.s. Yes I know I'm 20 but I paid for the car, I worked my *** off to get this car and it annoys the crap out of me when people instantly assume my dad bought it for me...although I can see why, not to mention I have 700 dollars to my name at this point.

Your money and you paid cash at 20. I'm impressed. Way to go. Enjoy. You are going to just have to keep working your *** off if you hope to get a nicer ride for your next car. You did this to yourself by setting the bar this high to start with.

Welcome ~
I'm a former Huntington Beach resident. Now a little north between Santa Monica & Malibu.
I had a nice car at an early age too. Caught a lot of crap as well. No worries. Enjoy!
Congrats!

Congratulations Kyle,
Sounds like you are doing really good! I think people assume your parents bought it for you because most of them do. We are guilty of that too. We have a 19, 21 and 23yr old and bought them all their 1st car. Not a crossfire, though! In fact, I have my insurance listing them as excluded to keep them out of mine! That and it's cheaper that way. I wonder how much insurance is on a car like that for a 20yr. old?
Make sure you make a signature listing some details of your car and post some pic's in the gallery!You have a great car.
Happy motoring!

I am interested in your car, but more interested in how you saved so much cash. Details. Even I couldn't do that when I lived at home.

More power to you. You've got the rest of your life to get 'sensible.'

Dan, you have a remarkable talent for putting a damper on just about anything...bet you're a riot at a party.

Is the glass half empty, half full, or twice as big as you need it to be?

Young man, enjoy your car. Wish I was your age with a Crossfire and a Saturday night.

Welcome to the 3rd circle of crossfire hell. JK There are alot of us 20 year old crossfire owners running around here. Bought mine myself, well just leased it on my own credit.. Some middle aged people dont have the credit for that. Hope you enjoy your crossfire more than I do.

Is it an 04 ?Or 05 LTD? you can post what you paid we hail those great deals.

But the dealer has to finance it through DC to get the factory incentive discounts.those have been as high as $2500 more. Even if you pay off after one month . Just tidbit info for others to know.


as for you kus why don't you go play with your Toytus.?
