Talking New Guy

Hello all. Just discovered this site. My Wife and i bought an 05 Crossfire Roadster last Spring with 8,000 miles on it..and love the car! Knew absolutely nothing about them at the time..and have been catching up. Mercedes? 8.5 quarts of oil? Rear windows falling out? Yep..lots to know about these little toys..so this site will be a big help. Anyway...a fun car to drive..and it attracts lots of attention wherever it goes. Look forward to chatting with you all!

Thanks..and you are right about "habit forming".. I have a Harley and a xfire in the garage..there is snow on the ground..and i have cabin fever here in Ohio!!! By the way..was 18k a fair price for the 05 Roadster w/8k miles as of last Spring? Seemed reasonable at the time with a 39k original price.

Hi Phil K .... I'm a new owner of a 2005 Xfr SRT roadster also. I bought mine down in Florida this January while on vacation, and had it shipped back to Illinois about a week ago. It's now in the garage and waiting for spring. I bought my car from an individual and had no idea about them at all. I just loved the look! Oh, I've owned sports cars previously, but none this sophisticated. But my involvement with this forum and the one at CICCI has taught me much. The main thing is, just don't assume you know what to do on your car, until you research or ask. Enjoy the ride ..... and as they say, you'll have a "permagrin"
