I just purchased a 2005 Limited Roadster, with Sapphire Blue Metallic exterior and Slate and Cedar interior. Absolutely love the car (though I actually had to leave it at the dealer so they could replace the trunk latches). I hope to pick it up tomorrow. I think I got a pretty good deal -- it has 70k miles, looks pristine (top and rear window are mint -- maybe replaced?), for 7.9k.

I've already pm'd Andrew about some badges (I hope I did that correctly), and ordered a wind deflector, a car cover, a sunshade . . . the money pit begins anew!

The one thing I'd like some advice on is replacing (or getting a cover for) the ridiculously slippery shift **** (it's a manual).

I've been reading the forum for quite awhile as I researched the car, and want to thank all of you active members for providing such great information (and for not flaming for the sake of flaming).

All the best to y'all!

 

Welcome to forum and the Permagrin club. I have always liked that Carroll Shelby quote.

 

Welcome to the forum

 

Just had to post that I've only had my "new" crossfire for a few weeks, and I absolutely love it. I fixed the sticky ignition (thanks to the perfect PDF on this site), and changed the badges to "limited" (thanks to Andrew -- they look great). I also added a wind deflector (from windblox: Chrysler Crossfire Windscreen Windblocker Wind Deflector)

I de-badged the crossfire letters from the back end today -- had to use some elbow grease and rubbing compound to remove the ghosting, but it looks great!

LOVE this car!

 

Better late than never.
Enjoy!
