2 KEEP or not 2 KEEP?
2 KEEP or not 2 KEEP?
This question goes out to all Crossfire "owners".
When D/C finally stops production of the Crossfire, in what ways will their decision to do so, effect you?
Will it make you want to sell your XF?
Or it doesn't matter, because you like your XF too much to get rid of it?

It would not make me even think about selling my car...I would actually like it better if they did stop production because it would make it worth more to me. I love having a car that hardly anyone has....the less production, the better. This cars a keeper either way. Just my 2 cents.
Re: 2 KEEP or not 2 KEEP?
I've always liked cars that you didn't see many of. Bertone X1/9, Renault Fuego Turbo, Cadillac Catera, 6 SAABs and an occasional Jag or other car with character. How may Xfires do you see now? Imagine a few years down the road. They'll still be a very unique and cool car to have fun with. And be seen in. Most people still won't know what it is!

BUT: we still need an inexpensive super charger, right?

So I join the other posts: I like the look very much and bought it because of it's unique appearance. I enjoy every drive and will keep it as long as I like to. No matter what happens to production or pricing. It's mine and I'm all over happy with it ... that counts.

Can't beat Honda reliability and resale value. I recently went on KBB to see the value of our cars and to be quite frank it is sh*t! If you go on e-bay you will see some car dealers still have brand new 2004 models. I think we will all be keeping these cars because their not worth anything!!!
Re: 2 KEEP or not 2 KEEP?
The same question was brought up when I had an '88 Chrysler Conquest (or Mitsubishi Starion). They stopped production of the model with the '89 year. It was as rare to see one as the Xfire is now. I couldn't part with it because it was fun to drive. I kept that car even after it blew its third cylinder head hoping to have the time and money after my daughter got out of college to fix it up. Finally, my wife made me have it towed out of the driveway with almost 170,000 on the odometer. The only reason I agreed was I just got the Xfire to have the kind of car I like. Hopefully, this car will give me even better service.

Re: 2 KEEP or not 2 KEEP?
Would never consider getting out of a car "just" because they stop production. And if you would than why get into an S2000, they're stopping production on that too within the year. This car is great fun and its definitely something special. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I think the Cross breeding of the car will make it a collectors item down the long road. Most of the collector cars of today (European) were sports cars manufactured for one company and designed by another. The Mercedes mechanicals and Karmann build imported for Chrysler is/will be very unique. Unfortunately the other 2 American examples that are somewhat similar aren't too collectible (yet). The Chrysler TC built by Maserati probably isn't too sought after because it looks the same as a Lebaron convertible and the Cadillac Allante may become more collectible as time goes by but IMO was never a real striking design. Neither one can touch the Crossfire when it comes to looks though and that's what I think will ultimately make our cars collectible.

Ditto from me too! I go for looks more than anything and the XF has that "look". I love cars that are different. At the time I bought my Miata, IT was different.
The only drawback about D/C stopping production would be parts availability. That's kind of scary LOL.
No, it would not change my mind. My XF is a keeper barring any unforeseen biggie problems. Just my 2.3478 cents.
