After 2 years and 3 months I traded my Crossfire for of all things, a Nissan Altima. Full sized spare, regular gas, $19 oil changes and I no longer feel trapped in a can.

I didn't like letting it go, the car was pampered and protected for the entire time I owned it, but after years of Corvettes, Jaguars, MG's, BMW's and Austin Healeys it was time to move on.

Someone will get a very nice ride at a great price, only had 3,600 miles on the clock when I traded it, and even tossed in the window sticker. But I did keep the luggage, I'm not entirely nutz.

 

well good luck! SSB is a nice color too, what interior? i'd love to get my hands on a SSB with cedar, 6-speed.

 

I own both a Crossfire and an Altima; the Altima is a great car and drives like a dream. While it is an entirely different driving experience, you will be pleased; especially if you got the 6. Because of the lack of a spare tire, I don't feel the X-fire is a good choice for long trips and leaves a high potential for being stranded if there is a tire problem.

 

My Crossfire came with the blue and gray interior. At the time the Dealer had a red Crossfire with the cedar interior and I almost bought that, but a test drive revealed excessive wind noise, the SSB was an auto.

I had looked and driven a 2006 Honda Accord with the V6, leather, and all the bells and whistles (I'm a Honda guy) the 1995 Volvo went in trade for a new CR/V last year, but I opted for the Altima, I just like the comfort and style and a very popular proven design, but I did only get the four cylinder, seems to have plenty of pep with an edge in MPG.

 

now i'm confused... blue and gray? you mean the two-tone gray?

and i didn't think you could get red with cedar... i've been trying to build one on the Chrysler site but its down. anyone else have pics of this?

 

The cedar interior is gorgeous...when I was looking at my car he also had a '05 Roadster which was black with the cedar inside...what a BEAUTIFUL car...but unfortunately he wanted way too much for it. Mine has the two tone gray which I also like and being that is was a 2004 a much better deal.

 

Yes, two tone gray is a more accurate description, and I'm pretty sure the red had the cedar interior, but it was over two years ago and my memory fades.

I haven't ruled out another Crossfire sometime in the future, my history has always been smaller performance cars, one that occasionally gets me into trouble on the road. I feel I must be the leader of the pack whether from a stoplight or on the highway. With this Altima, I just cruise along letting others lead the way, and pay the tickets.
