Deposit Paid and Counting Down the Days
Hey there,
I am a newbie and just put a deposit down on the most gorgeous Crossfire Roadster ever (my opinion) and I think I might just fall in love with it.
It is in the most perfect condition out of any car I've ever seen without a mark on it and its done only 40,000k and still with 2yrs warranty.
I have been looking at buying a new sports car after having to sell my 2006 Z06 Vette after loosing my job, but now I am back in employment and have been itching to treat myself.
I was looking at Z4's but I came across the xfire by chance and decided I had to have it...
Here are a few pics of my new baby - Just need to arrange finance and then she is all mine

I had an '05 alabaster roadster with 2-tone grey leather that, like yours, was absolutely gorgeous. Currently driving an '07 silver roadster.
Enjoy your ride.

Welcome aboard, nice ride.
I was going to ask about the rarity of XFs over there? and the cost to procure one? (If you don't mind sharing of course)

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your newest purchase.
You live far away from us.
Are there any other Crossfires where you live ??

Thats the big appeal - such a gorgeous car and very rare...
Once I get the car, I will be taking lots of photos for you all to see.
Cheers guys for the welcome. I hope to be on here a lot picking all your brains no doubt.

I got the bargain of bargains to be honest. Its done 40,000 kilometers, still has 2yrs warranty with free servicing till 70,000k and the guy said it has never been parked outside and the passenger seat has never even been sat in more than a couple of times. and he has only ever taken the roof down 4 times. it is actually mint.
I managed to haggle him down to 55,000 dirhams which is 8,900pound or $14,200
Which I think is a fantastic price.
I just want to pick her up now...
Thanks for all the kind comments on my new pride and joy.

We pay for super unleaded 97octane 6dirhams a gallon which is 95pence or $1.50. so about $0.33 a litre
Not too bad I suppose!

What alloys are on your car? the picture is small but they look fantastic.
