Default New Owner Here from Northern Illinois.

Bought this 2004 Crossfire Coupe- third owner, 49,000 original miles. Great shape, just a few odds and ends to hunt down. Putting fresh tires on it later this week- and I get to "learn" all about TPMS sensors while I'm at it.



Happy to join the forum, I've been looking at one of these for a long time. Cheers! ~Patrick

Pkrook, is your TPMS system working now? If not, the tire shop will need the system to program the sensors. Most tire shops do not have it. Waukegan Tire in Park City on Washington did mine. They cloned the 3 with working batteries. For the one with the dead battery, although they did not have the system needed, they took my car to somebody who did. Only took about 10 minutes. I'm thinking they ran it up to their location in Waukegan. I did not ask.

How long ago was this? I just went nine rounds with Sam's Club, D Wells in Gurnee, and Gurnee Dodge. I'd definitely prefer to do business locally with Waukegan Tire. Thanks for the heads up!
UPDATE: New tires and TMPS sensors on order with Waukegan Tire.

Hi there and welcome. We just bought our 2008 Xfire coupe
last month. Currently having extra keys made so my Silver Streak sits in the garage for now. We live in the Mukwonago Wis area. YES, we are Newbees too.

Welcome from Aurora, Illinois
There is a couple who live in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin just 23 miles north of Mukwonago Wisconsin
They occasionally have Crossfire gatherings at their house (seen below) and also have knowledge of servicing our Crossfires .
If you use Facebook join the "Wisconsin Crossfire Owners" group and if you join mention you were refereed to the group by me.
I'm a member of the group too.
Hope to maybe see ya sometime when I'm up in Wisconsin for a Crossfire event sometime

Take care, Gary
