Classic color combo! Congrats on the "purty" new ride Darticus. Welcome to the forum.

 

Are you KIDDING ME? I went up to Union City, GA and drove a Roadster earlier this month.

The sales guy was REALLY nice but didn't know the first thing about the car. Now, granted, it was a Chevy dealership - but even the guys at Hayes Chrysler where I got mine knew little about the car, other than to say, "Chrysler REALLY messed up the marketing of this car..

It IS their job to show you the car, I agree. But an out-of-production, limited production, used car? I don't expect them to know TOO much.

 

There is SO much about these cars that is technological (that is - software based) that it is hard to know it all.

I have read my manual cover to cover once - can't say it did too much good. Just this week (yesterday in fact) I finally learned how to check the oil using the trick with the instrument panel button and ignition key. I had read it in the manual, but somehow didn't remember it being something that you could do anytime you wanted to - I thought the indication only came up when the computer wanted to notify you.

Give yourself time! I have found all the little secrets to be a fun way to "rediscover" my car on an ongoing basis.

If all else fails, just do a search here for what you are looking for - if that doesn't work, just ask.

(Real sorry you had to settle for a White one - life sucks sometimes, doesn't it? )

 

I had read up on the car and all the features before we went and purchased our roadster. When we finished the paperwork they had a lady (mid-upper 20's) walk us out to the car and her job was to show us how everything worked on the car. Long story short... I ended up explaining to her what the majority of the buttons did... and this was at a Chrysler dealer.

She told me I should see about getting a job selling cars because I was good at explaining everything.

No thanks.

 

If she isn't 30, she's not a lady - she's a GIRL.

And I am NOT being sarcastic or insulting. I'm just being old.

 

Mine was built on Pearl Harbor day, Dec 7, 2007. It must be one of the last convertibles.
Is there a site to buy stuff for a Crossfire? Just like cool stuff? Ron

 

There are plenty of sites. I recommend that you use the forum's search feature and I'm sure you will find enough reading to keep you busy for quite a while.

 

WOW! It would be nice if I new the oil trick with the key. Is there a place to get all this cool info? Like a list of this tricky things. Ron

 

there are "sticky notes" on all the important things...just use the search feature to get started...if that doesn't work for you, just post your question in the general area...we'll help you out..

 

Enjoy the new ride and the butterflies you get when you take it out.

 

What's your VIN#...? Gotta be close to the last.....Wilma's is 76,028 only about 20 more after her...

 

My last 5 numbers are 75944. Looks like i'm not the last. Ron

 

Very pretty!! Congrats!!
