Default help my friend buy a XF

I have a friend in Houston that is looking to buy a xf Roadster in Florida. The car is a black roadsterwith 44,315 miles on the clock. the car is located in RoyalPalm, Fl 33411 at Royal Palm Toyota. They are asking $10.988 at present. ID # is 1c3an65l35xo29927. Does anyone know this car? Is there anyone that lives close to Royal Palm that could look it over. Look for rear window separation, rust, rough treatment, oil leaks, body damage, etc. Give it a drive, let us know about tires vibrations, noices,etc.

PM or Call me on Cell281-635-0869 if you have time to check it out, let me know asap. He wants to purchase this weekend if possible.

Isn't that Reddog's territory? But I'm pretty sure he hit the Dragon this weekend. Then again not impossible he could have a friend that could go put eyes on it..

Just dug through the thread.. he and his wife.. she's playing group leader for the ladies in the suburban...

He posted his direct email.. might be worth a long shot..

RedDogNumber1@aol.com

Not too shabby here...

Yeah I had pulled up the map and noticed it was 1 1-2 to 2 hours from Reddog... but his trip home from the dragon might take him real close to it. Doesn't help for a weekend score though.

22k mileage difference in the two.. but you get the red cedar interior... which IMO looks really sharp with the black.. and it's a little more in the neighborhood for them.

Foresure it is two cars. Love the Cedar interior. The one at Toyota dealer is much lower miles.

I would appreciate anyone that can take a look either this weekend or early next week to let me know. He really wants an automatic, as I think he plans on his grandson getting the car eventually.

Any help is greatly appreciated. I wish we could find one in Houston at that price!!

Hi David, Just got back to Fontana Village . . . another B E A U T I F U L day with the Crossfire and many new friends. We're leaving here tomorrow morning. We would be happy to check out the Crossfire at Royal Palm Toyota. Expect to be coming through that area Tuesday early afternoon.

Reading through this thread, you said your friend would really like an automatic . . . you know that one is a six speed manual, right?

I e-mailed you directly with additional information and my cell phone number . . .

Just an FYI - I checked out this '05 Roadster . . . It is in T E R R I B L E condition! The whole car has been repainted and it looks like they used spray cans! I've really never seen a re-paint this bad. Lots of orange peel and many hazy areas. Obvious damage to the front bumper that was not repaired properly before painting over the damage. Cracking through the paint that looks like a dry lake bed! Missing radio antenna. Big dent in the panel above the trunk lid. After market chrome wheels are badly pitted. Some inner fender type pieces were laying loose in the trunk. Upper and right windshield surround moldings were off with the upper one missing completely (not sure what happened there because those were in place when the dealer photos were taken).

This car is a "rat" that needs LOTS of work . . . I didn't bother to drive it . . .

The mileage and price didn't seem "right".. guess that explains why.. There's always that Amarillo one if someone could check it out.. Price and mileage are "right" for a decent car.

I have my 05 Roadster for sale here in Sarasota. It is black with the red cedar interior and is in mint/immaculate condition. Has auto trans and just turning 23,000 miles. I listed it a couple days ago in the Private Classified section of this website with pictures. I am asking $17,500 but am negotiable. It is a beautiful car that anyone(including me) would be proud to own and drive. If any more information is needed, please call me at: 941-358-2002 or email at: nshnels@aol.com. Members in the "Florida Crossfire Group "on Facebook can verify the perfection of this car. Steve Nelson, Sarasota
