hello all as title says really considering buying a crossfire just wanted a few opinions from people who know the car the best
i have a 98 roush cobra keeping car
my wife had a 2002 camaro z28 sold after being laid off from space center and f150 seen a crossfire at local dealer test drove it and loved everything about it 2006 coupe black auto looked online there is a black roadster about the same price not sure what to get any help would be greatly appreciated will be buying one or the other on the 4th also considering a hyundai genesis thanks in advance

 

Things to also consider that you have not mentioned.
Where do you live?
Are the winters harsh?....The Crossfire is not good in snow if your wife is driving all year round.
If the car is a second "Fun" car then you/she will love it.

 

I live in florida the plan was she would drive it mostly but after driving it i wouldnt break my heart to drive it a few days a week myself

 

Florida = roadster

 

You will need to see if the convertible window has been replaced. There is a Chrysler bulletin on that problem. If the car is originally a southern car, then you will be able to get it replaced at no charge. Otherwise, the cost to replace is about $2000 to $2500. What's the mileage on the cars? Do you have the VIN#s? We have a list of VIN#s on the Forum and you might be able to locate the owner and/or get some feedback here about the car.

The XF Limited is a great running car. It just gets up and goes as fast as you NEED it to go. We've had our roadster since the fall of 2005 and would buy another one in a heartbeat.

By the way, the Florida Crossfire Group is planning an outing for Sunday, August 5 over to Sarasota. Visit the Group on Facebook and let us know that you're coming!

 

buy the genesis......

 

thanks for the advice the hardtop just under 23k miles the vert 54k miles andi hve both vin #
i'm 90% sure i will be buying one of the 2 by the weekend would love to meet some new friends on August 5

 

My car is for sale. Pm or call me. 785-477-3007.

 

the XF will not be as quick as the Z28 (personal experience there) nor will it sound as good (subjective) and likely won't get as good gas mileage!! That being said it is a FAR nicer place to spend your time and does handle better - all in all a lot more civilised

 

I thought you might be interested in reading this web page:

You can't beat buying from a Forum member. If you want a coupe... you can't beat this well-maintained XF!!!

went out today and got the hard top love everything about it except the damn cruise control lever being in the wrong place

 

Congratulations! You made a great purchase!

 

Um, guys, it's his FIRST Crossfire.

SRTs are for those of us wishing to upgrade.

(Or in my case, those who just can't live with just ONE Crossfire.)

 

Just wait till the Fall Dragon - 70 Genesis Coupes will be joining us. Only thing I have against the car is that is has a back seat.

But, that back seat is just a sign of the vision Eric has - he has come up with a sports car that can do double duty for the crowd that is still raising kids (or, acutally, is just BEGINNING to raise kids). The car attracts a different crowd than the Crossfire - but the two groups sure had fun this spring together.

Just wait, Doc. I think some of us old guys gained their respect in the curves... it was a totally fun weekend!

 

LOL.. thought I was never going to get past that and start hitting the real one (turn signal) on a regular basis !

 

I like the looks of the genesis, but, hey the guy had a 'stang and a Z-28, what would he do with a plain ole' XF.... lol... Never owned a Mustang, but have had 3 Camaro's in my day... '69 Z, loved that car, 71 big block, loved that car, and a 92 Z... I wouldn't have an N/A for any of those mentioned, for performance reasons...but that's just me...enjoy...

 

Gotta have a third pedal here, Doc.

But an SRT is still in my future.

 

Hi guys love the xf your correct its not as fast as the z28 but driving this car feels completely different than any car I have driven its plenty fast enough for a v6 if I feel the need for speed the cobra takes care of that
Any way to shut the seat belt chime off and what the heck is the point of the 2 clicks past the off position on head light switch

 

Where and what is the best cold air system.for the xf
exhaust as well thanks in advanced for info
