Howdy Newsters !

I joined this club about two months ago and still can't believe how much car I have for so little money. I had a jealous co-worker say something like, "Well I guess, you got a salary increase", then I rubbed it in by telling him how little I actually paid for the car. He walked away muttering ," jeez that's what I paid for my Hyundai..."

one of my coworkers said the same thing about his sl1 saturn.

 

I've been watching the Steve White Motors listings on ebay. Stopped by a week and a half ago and saw 6 base coupes on their lot. Monday, I bought a base coupe at Westside Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep in Mocksville, NC for the Steve White price ($18.8k).

Wheels, Hoosiers, and Koni's are on the way...DS autocrosser in the works...BS RX-8 for sale.

 

Steve White Motors is where I bought my 06 base coupe. Very nice dealership. Paul Kidd was my salesman, cool guy. Don't pay $18,800 for a base coupe though. Tell them you know someone that got one for $18,700.

 

Bill00,

Steve White really was the best experience I've had out of the two dozen or more new cars I've bought. I didn't mention it earlier, so as not to confuse the issue, but by the time our dealing was finished, they took off a $500 document fee and I wound up paying $18,300 for my Crossfire. Now, I also had my Magnum as a trade-in, so who knows how much I really paid. I do know it brought my payments down more than $100 a month, which was one of the goals they met for me.

You must live near me. What town? I'm in Concord.

I'm in West Virginia, but it was worth the drive. No one around here would let a Crossfire go for that price.

 

any idea on any specific dealers in socal, so that I may consider a road trip in the near future? thanks.

 

What did they give you $, for the Magnum?

 

cross1,

Once the number-juggling was finished, I believe they gave me around $18,500 for the Magnum. KBB says I could have sold it privately for around $21K (only had 36K miles), but that could have taken weeks or months, and I wasn't sure how long the Crossfires would be around at this price.

 

I bought my blaze red Crossfire convertible from Steve White. They are very courteous and professional.

 

I've been reading the forum (Great info here) and when I saw this thread, I felt I had to add my experience to it. As of Tuesday (5/22) Steve White sold another Crossfire and it's sitting in my driveway now.
I had been looking at some other cars but as soon as I saw this one the deal was done. '06 Black Coupe Limited with the Cedar interior and Auto tranny for $24.5K

The initial deal had been struck over the internet and I was looking at the few used Crossfires I could find on local lots to be sure I could even fit in the car (I'm 6'4"). Tried an '04 coupe on for size but with the seat all the way back the dash was pressing into my shins just below my knees so needless to say, I was nervous about the whole thing. Much to my relief, the '06 fits me like a glove. I wonder now if there's some difference between the '04's and the '06's or if there was something stuck behind the seat of the '04...

I only have two complaints about the car so far. First, it is way too easy to go faster than the speed limit. Second, the black paint shows fingerprints and attracts bird crap.

 

Congrats and welcome. Keep a bottle of detail spray in the car all the time.

 

Grrumble, I know exactly what your talking about, and at 6'4" you have got to be pushing the envelope in your new car. I'm 6'2" and I sat in a half a dozen different Crossfires and never could find enough room until I bought mine. That's when the salesman showed me the trick to getting the seat back and at it's lowest setting, and I finally found a comfortable position.
I'm sure there is no difference in the seating positions between an '04 and an '06, it just takes awhile to find that sweet spot sometimes.
Enjoy your Crossfire, and I know you'll love that interior, we've got the same one in our Alabaster '04.
