Hi y'all - I just bought an '04 Coupe from BringaTrailer. I'm pretty sure I got a good deal, but I'm still waiting on delivery, and, then, what I'm certainly hoping will be an exhilirating first excursion. I only drive stick, and like the fact that it's an '04 and still fairly analog with all its components. I need a front license plate since I'm in Massachusetts, so I've ordered one from Amazon, but I'd love to know what people here think is a matching or better source of accessories. I have also ordered my usual bunch of decals from Save the Manuals, so they shouild be here before the car is. It's coming from Arizona and lived its former life in southeast USA. Hope the harshness of the climate here will be okay for it - I park on the street, but am seriously thinking of getting a car cover and maybe even some garage space if I really love the car. Anyway, hope to have some driving stories to tell soon, as well as, maybe, a few WTFs.....

 

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your car!
As far as license plate holders, you can check the market place. There were a few floating around.
I'm in the north East as well. If you can get a garage for winter, I would recommend doing that. Some part are hard to get, so you don't want some clown sliding on ice into your car.
Enjoy the hell out of it!

 

I was watching that auction, I think you bought a nice car for a very fair price. Enjoy.

 

Welcome to the Forum ... you will find a lot of good people here and good advise ... Enjoy your Crossfire

 

The mechanical parts are pretty much the same as a 2003 Mercedes SLK 320. Body parts are exclusively Crossfire and are pretty much E-bay or salvage sourced. Enjoy the ride and welcome.
