Hi,
Bill T. here. I am looking to purchase a Crossfire Limited Convertible.
Low miles of course. What has caught my eye is the Yellow one with slate gray and ivory interior. Automatic. A friend suggested I join a Crossfire group. So here I am.
Thanks for hearing me,
Bill T.

Yellow is a great color for a convertible.

If you are not referring to the one on the site you might check it out also.

Happy hunting.

Checkout new member JohnN's roadster. Your color combination. (By the way, that interior is called
Vanilla.)
CrossfireForum.org - JohnN's Album: My crossfire

Some things you may not have considered in your search:
1. Try to find one that has had the top replaced. The OEM back window likes to come unglued.
2. Look for a car with BOTH keys. Expensive to duplicate.
3. The "multi-function" tool is required for manual top operation in an emergency and they are quite
difficult to find.
4. Have someone turn the key to run and press the brake pedal while you stand behind the car.
If all the LEDs in the high-mounted brake light under the spoiler light up you have a winner. Most of them can be
fixed for $125 or replaced for $427 if you can find a new one.

Obviously, there is much else to consider. You can learn all you need to know on the Forum.

Good luck in your search. Good ones are out there, you just have to be patient.
It will be worth it. These are remarkably unique automobiles.

Just got off the phone with the owner. Thanks for the heads up.
I have a friend in Punta Gorda who may go take a look. The owner
said someone going to look at it at 9:00 tomorrow. I will just have
to wait and see. The guy is 86 yrs of age. Likes to chat.

Just checked the listings here in NH and no yellow - we did have one last year right here in Londonderry, but I don't know if it sold or not - will keep and eye out.

Thank you. I have a son that lives in Londonderry. What listings did you find, if any.
I checked on one in Florida tonight. Found by another member. JUST WHAT I WANT.
Not sure I can make it work. If it was a dealer I might be able to work it out. BUT,
being a individual, I don't think I can.

I will check them out. The guy in Florida called me again today BUT
I don't think I can make it work and will probably have to pass.
JUST WHAT I WANTED. 15K+ yellow and vanilla interior. OH, and
the top had been replaced by Chrysler.

Many here consider yellow to be a girly car.
Vanilla shows the dirt really well, especially on the steering wheel.
Just saying.

The only thing that matters is whether or not you like yellow. I certainly do.

Delta will fly you one way from Boston to Tampa for $175.00 early tomorrow morning or Friday morning.
Buy the car you want and drive it home. I-95 is full of $50 a night hotels and gas is fairly inexpensive. (These cars require premium, by the way.)
It's Spring and the weather is in your favor.

That's how my wife and I got our car. It was one of the best weekends ever. We had a blast and I'll never forget it.

If you think this is the car, just make it happen.

HA HA, I hear you. How about white, or red, or black? Anyway the guy in Florida
sold BOTH his Crossfires today, to the same guy. He had a 05 also with over 100K
on it. Oh well, I will keep looking. Never thought about dirt on the inside. Worth
thinking about.

Other members may argue this, but all the reds are the same that I have seen, and yes, mine looks candy apple METALLIC red.
