Greetings all,

New 05 Limited coupe owner here. It was actually my father's car that was passed down to me a few months ago. Don't know much about Crossfires yet (other than it was a fun 250 miles to bring it back home), but it looks like there's a wealth of information here. As an 06 Jeep wrangler owner, I live and die by the information I find on the jeep forum so I'm looking forward to interacting with some of you in the upcoming months.

Specs:
05 Limited Coupe
Alabaster White/Cedar
Manual Transmission
Just shy of 4,000 original miles
35503

 

Welcome and enjoy your new car! Amazingly low mileage.

 

Sorry, we cant take the word of a first-time poster that claims to have a car with less than 5,000 miles on it. It does not work that way, we are not a trusting bunch.

We have many fine attributes (well, I do) but easy trust is not one of them.

I think you better click here and show up.

Congrats on your recent Crossfire ownership. The color combination is really a "head turner". Enjoy the vehicle, welcome to our Forum, and know that we, as fellow owners, are here to provide support with issues that surface.

 

WELCOME, and am I correct at 35,503 miles?

That is the last numbers in the VIN I believe.

 

Whatever the numbers , see post 3 an come on down...we trust everyone..lol

 

While I'm not sure I'll make the rally in 2018, you've definitely added something to my bucket list! As far as the mileage confusion, onhundred80 has it correct. 35503 is the last part of the VIN. I assumed that meant that was the number it came off the line but the links provided ZERACER, it sounds like that may not be the case. I can already tell this you guys have done a fantastic job of organization of data here. Kudos!

And to pizzaguy, I can tell you and I think a like. While you may not see me in Carolina this October, here's some minimal proof. I'll admit its a crap pic, but I'll get my profile together at some point here with some better images.






To my knowledge (the first 260 miles were the original owner, my dad was the 2nd) the car has never seen winter nor rain for that matter. He kept stored in a garage with no windows and covered. No other items other than the trickle charger were stored in the garage. In fact my 7 year old daughter has been calling it the "crayon car" given the cedar interior and the fact that.....well it smells like crayon. Always has since we owned it so I assume its just the materials it's made out of. Who knows maybe I'll find some melted crayons in there.

Thanks again for all the warm welcomes!!!

 

The Dark Slate Gray with Cedar Red inserts always had a strange smell to it - my opinion. Always assumed it was relate to the Red dye used to color the hides.

 

Welcome. Sticking color combination, low miles, family connection and a manual. I hope she will be a long term keeper. There is nothing like them made today. Enjoy.
