As many of you know, I've been leasing X-Fires ('05 & '07 roadsters) over the past 3 1/2 years through Chrysler's employee company car program.

I elected to buy my '07, which was due back this past Monday, so I'm now an official X-Fire owner. Bought the vehicle directly from Chrysler for $16.5K as a certified pre-owned with 6 yr/80K miles powertain warranty, free towing, etc... Pick it up this afternoon.

Accordingly, I look forward to full ownership, and have already joined CICCI, got a personalized plate and ordered some stuff from needsdwings.

By the way, the Chrysler marshalling center that handles company cars set a record Monday by selling 54 X-Fires in one day to former lessees. Hopefully some of these folks will join the forum.

 

Congrats !!! It would be great if all 54 new owners would goin the club at one time that would really be a record..

 

Congratulations Jim, now the real fun begins, the hemorrhage of money on mods to make that thing even more fun

 

Congrats Jim!

 

That's very cool harbor, glad you are now an owner. I wish my switch from lease to ownership was as easy. Glad to have you with us.

Jim, you and I discussed this at Woodward, and I know you were undecided at the time. Congratulations on now being an official Crossfire owner. Yours is a nice one. I really like that silver color.

And, welcome to CICCI.

 

Gald to see you decided to stay and make it official after 3 1/2 years!

What took ya sooooo long!

 

'Grats!

We have a beautiful sunny day here in Mich to go out and enjoy it too....lucky guy.

I got mine from the marshalling center too, but mine only had 900 miles on it. Actually a great way to get a deal on a certified car. I'd definitely do it again. Curious though..... I drive past there all the time on my way to Lapeer, I've never seen a X-Fire in the lot in the past few months.... there any SRT's still there?

 

I'm glad you made the right decision. See you around...

James

 

Congrats Jim. I'll call you next week to make plans for what we discussed.

 

are you helping him go 'all in'?...... that's not nice you know...

 

Jim,
Congratulations on now being the owner of your Crossfire.
I'm very happy you bought it and also want to extend my thanks to you here for joining CICCI.
I look forward to seeing you at the several GTG's next year.
I have great respect for you and always enjoy seeing you when I can.

Gary

 

Guys - Thanks for all the comments.

Forgot to mention that the major deciding factor for me to make the purchase was the great people and events on this forum.

Steve - SRT's are long gone from marshalling center, and they advised me that low mileage turn-ins are purchased immediately while high mileage X-Fires are shipped to auction.

 

Congrats to perma-ownership.

 

Welcome into the fold Jim. Glad you made the decission to keep the Crossfire and join us at the CICCI. Lorne

 

glad you stayed with us Jim......congrats...
