Default Desrt xf

I recently purchased a near-perfect '05 Crossfire Limited Roadster automatic in Blaze Red from another member here in So. California. It had only 11,800 documented miles from new and had been meticulously maintained by the seller who was also the original owner. Even the underside of the car is clean and shiny! So glad I found one that was basically pristine and also fairly local. The others I had seen online were clear across the country. I plan to keep it in similar condition while still enjoying it when the weather permits out here in the desert. Afraid I can't promise to only put the same amount of mileage per year as he did, though. It's way too much fun to drive and is a real head-turner.

Thanks for the welcome. Since I also have the original window sticker, I am pretty sure it is Blaze Red Crystal Pearl Coat. I also have the '05 sales brochure which only lists Blaze Red. Perhaps there were early or late model year changes? Yes, waiting to have a go at Highway 74 soon!

According to Sherwin Williams, they are one in the same, same paint code.
For model year 2005, it was called Inferno Red for the Crossfire, and Blaze Red on the other Chrysler products where it was an option.

Lucky you! 74 & 243 are in our back yard as well. Be sure to keep the rubber on the pavement.
