Hi everyone,

Thanks to everyone!

Congrats on the yellow roadster with low milage. Sounds like a rare find indeed. Where are you located in N.C.? Drive safely and enjoy the Crossfire!

Congrats,

Yellow roadsters are hot!

Have a safe drive home, there is some nasty weather headed that way.

Congrats on your find. Rapp's had a yellow manual roadster. Very hard to find that combo.

If you get snowbound anywhere around Detroit, shoot me an e-mail and my wife & I would be glad to meet you for a drink. We're in the northern 'burbs. I could share my vast X-Fire knowledge with you (should take 2 maybe 3 minutes - Ha!)

Weather in Mich should be OK this week-end.

Safe travels.

There's guy on another forum that's extremely happy about having just paid $31K + $900 shipping for a new 08 yellow roadster.

I'm very happy for you! I love the yellow with the two tone interior. It is my idea of beautiful spring sunshine and a top-down ride in the country. Since you are only an hour away from the heart of the upstate gang, maybe we can all get together soon and see your new ride. You'll soon realize how much fun it is to ride with other crossfires!

there is a yellow auto roadster in Clemmons NC...we talked to him about it but found a better deal...this car belonged to his wife and he had to put her in a nursing home ...he is 73 don't know anything else about her...it sounds like it is in immauculate condition 19.000 miles on it....but he owes more on it than I wanted to pay....also there is one in Lynchburg VA that we looked at...it has 11,000 miles and it was in good shape...I think you can get it for about 18000...

This remains my favorite color for a Crossfire Roadster. Perhaps one day I'll have one to go with my baby....if only I could talk my wife into it.
