Purchased a 2008 Crossfire Limited Roadster a week ago (one owner 42k). Really like the car but I have terrible luck with vehicles. Someone has dented the fender already, goes in on the 6th of August to be popped. Tint guys did a terrible job, has to go back to be redone. Someone tried to steal the rims and tires off it right in my driveway last night. We live in a small town in Eastern Ontario Canada and in what is considered an upscale neighborhood but thieves are everywhere I guess.

But the car is a blast to drive, ordered K&N Filters tonight. Looking at Bluetooth/USB/Iphone unit.
Picking up wheel locks tomorrow.

I was not on my best behavior bringing it home, ran it up to 200km to get a feel for it. Would like to find an open track day somewhere to run it.

Intend to keep it long term, not one around my area so it is unique, people do not believe it is a Chrysler.

Update: 07/28/13 I am really enjoying this car!! Unfortunately the office parking lot is being redone so I have to wash it every night as it is covered with dust, just an excuse to take it out after I am done. Does anyone have an opinion on the windblocker or windscreens for the Crossfire? The K&N's are in. Lost a weight on front wheel so going in for another balance tomorrow. The only real complaint I have is I can't keep people away from it when I park it somewhere, LOL!! Is the car that rare?

Update: 08/02/13 Tire balance has become a problem, been to 2 different places car still shakes after losing the weight. Why is it so hard to balance tires? It is driving me nuts!!! Lost a low beam bulb, found previous owner lost clip and rubber boot. Ordered package of boots from Chrysler as per forum. Making arrangements to get a clip through forum. As you can see my luck hasn't changed. I am a little OCD when it comes to this kind of stuff and its taking the fun out of driving the car.

I bet the wheel sensors would make a great theft-ID verification..
