Default New owner of a 2006 Limited Coupe!

Hi everyone,

Just figured id introduce myself and my new daily driver to the forum. Ive been lurking around here the past week or so since I got the car just to familiarize myself with all the good's and bad's of the car.

I plan on doing some tasteful modifications to the car during my ownership, but overall I love how cool and unique this car looks stock so Im not planning to go crazy. Below is a picture of the car for your viewing pleasure.




​​​​​​​I am in the chicago suburbs, so if anyone has recommendations for mechanics near there that know how to work on the crossfire, im looking!

See you all on the forums!

Really a nice looking Coupe. Oyster Gold is somewhat rare and makes the car unique just about anywhere it shows up. Great find!

Here's a link (CLICK) to a website that will allow you to look up independent M-B service shops in & around your location. There is also a thread on the Forum that provides shops recommended by Crossfire Owners.

Later,

Thanks! The rare color was definitely a factor, and with only 41,500 miles I would have been crazy to pass it up! Loving the driving experience so far!

I think the Gold is the only color I have not seen in person. Always looks sharp in pictures. Enjoy!

One of the prettiest Crossfires I ever saw was an Oyster Gold Roadster that had the Tuxedo interior with custom wheels. A member of the St Louis Crossfire group drove it when the 1st CAA event (pre-cursor to the GTGs in Eureka Springs) was held in St Louis back in 2006.

Tuxedo is my favorite interior color on the crossfire. Compliments the Oyster Gold perfectly. But I can imagine it probably gets dirty quickly!

Oyster gold with cedar interior is perfection!
