Default New owner Northern Ontario

Hi , My name is Terry

Just bought a 2005 Saphire Roadster Limited last week but won't pick it up for another two. I've been shopping for a two seat convertible for a while and found this one during a business trip . It's 1600 km away so the first drive will be a good one.

Looking forward to some touring this summer.

Thanks Steve,

Just received 30cm (11in) of fresh snow in the last few days , hopefully spring will arrive soon and I'll have dry pavement for the trip home.

Congrats on your recent purchase and welcome to our forum.

I worked at TEMBEC paper mill in Temiscaming back in 2011 for about 3 months. Stayed at the Hampton Inn in North Bay. Great town!

Later,

Welcome to the forum. I am in the same situation as you. I am flying from Winnipeg to Thunder Bay to pick mine up this Saturday. I'm sure we will have a great ride home.

Welcome to the forum.
Nice drive home, I picked mine up in Florida and we drove it home in November, it got colder every mile we drove North, 75 in Florida and 32 at the border.

She looks fantastic. Congrats.
Sounds like you had a great ride home!
How many kilometers on her. Is she Canadian or an import?

I love the color. Let's see some more pics.

Very nice,
It was important for me to get a Canadian car. Nice snag on a low mileage canadian xfire.
Mine had 30300 kilometers.

Why the importance of a Canadian car?
To pass the test here all that is needed is the Canadian version of the light switch (ICM), no problem if you can borrow one from a buddy as I did.

I understand, but for myself I wanted the odometer in kilometers.
I have imported many motorcycles and it's always a pain trying to sell them.
If I was buying an xfire for top dollar, I want a Canadian one.
Plus my eyesight ain't that good. It's easier to see with the kilos on the outside of the speedo.

JMO

Not saying if a SUPERr sweet deal on a us srt6 came up, I wouldn't change my mind!
