And end of an era.
And end of an era.
Yesterday, I became a former Crossfire owner. My black '07 coupe was with me for 9 years and 69,000 miles, but sadly, it was getting a bit too expensive to maintain and I just couldn't care for all the little maintenance demands that we're starting to pop up. I traded it in for a new 2016 Mazda MX-5. While I couldn't be happier, I will still miss my Crossfire and all the fun I had in it. It was a good car.
If anyone is interested in snagging it from the dealer, it was sold to CJ Wilson Mazda of Orland Park, in the south suburbs of Chicago. It was a daily driver for 9 years, so it's not cosmetically in the greatest condition, but I can't think of any other people that would take care of it better than you folks. The VIN is 1C3LN59L77X072277.
I also have a set of Z-chains (snow chains) that work for the Crossfire if anyone needs them. I'd be willing to sell them for half retail, probably.
Lastly, I am the current and only admin of the Crossfire page on Facebook. I'd like to pass that ownership on to one of you, if anyone wants it. You all have been a fantastic bunch over the years and I couldn't think of anyone better to tell this all to. If anyone has any interest in any of this, let me know.
As a last goodbye, I took a photo of the Crossfire next to my new MX-5. Thought I'd share it with you all:

Rear set:
The cards list any sizes they fit. The Crossfire's stock size isn't listed for one of them, but I've used them no problem and I think I was recommended to them by another forum user awhile back.
Re: And end of an era.
We are similar but going in different directions...
I love my white CX5 Touring and just added an Alabaster White 2006 Crossfire Coupe as a second car to take off some mileage pressure off of the Mazda.
I surely hope that I will not have tons of maintenance problems with the Crossfire (now 53,000 miles).
Sorry to see you go as I come in....

We may need a reliable car to go forward with but the expense excuse is not quite true. I think we have all made the same excuses for a new car, I know I have.
I think if I wanted a MX-5 I would have waited for the new coupe coming out, especially if I lived in the area where chains were needed. Nice looking vehicle.

Re: And end of an era.
I think that compared to buying a new car the cost for the upkeep of the Crossfire would have been a minor expense. I have used this excuse in the past to get another car.

As for the rest of it, I live near Chicago. Snow chains aren't required, except in the worst of storms. They're just there for when I went to college down in Peoria, really. That and the occasional unplowed street in the far out suburbs. They're good to have, just in case. I also carry a small shovel in the winter. Now that I have a LSD, I might not need either as much.
