Thumbs up Wife's ride

While searching for a replacement for my loves recently deceased jeep, she stumbled across the Crossfire and was smitten. Several trips to various used car lots later we have a 2005 Pale yellow Roadster in the garage. It was the best one in our price range by far. I was shocked at the mileage at first (156,000) but was amazed with the build quality. No rattles, and everything works. It's built pretty solid. Your forum played a large part in the decision to go for a car with so many laps around the earth. Aside from the occasional nasty odor from the ac (already changed cabin filter) and a few paint chips, we're pretty happy, especially for$6500! I look forward to perusing the forum for technical information as like to wrench on our cars.

Thanks guys. The other Crossfire Roadsters I looked at were $12k and up with 60,000 miles or more. And they were scratched and dinged up, I couldn't believe it. It was on this forum that I found common problems and things to look for. Here's a bad pic of a dirty Crossfire, but we did put about 500 miles on it this week........ She'll get a bath tomorrow.

Looks sweet and at that price, if it didn't work out you'd have your money back in parts.

Welcome to the forum
Wishing you the best with your new roadster
If maintained properly the mileage should be no concern to you
Enjoy the miles ahead
Sounds like money well spent
