My name is lance i'm 16 getting to turn 17 i'm from marion north carolina i have an o8 aero blue x fire coupe with right at 6000 miles. Dad bought it for me new had to wait on it to be made in Germany and shipped to the state.I test drove a red one on the local dodge place and fell in love with it but couldn't bring myself to like red (no offense to anyone else) so with the low interest rates and everything dad ordered me one the color i wanted and i was happy have been driving the wheels ever since. Ordered chrome wheels yesterday for it Just wanting to say hey and introduce myself thanks.

 

lucky kid, you certainly wont have any trouble picking up the ladies in that!! Enjoy it!

 

Hmmmmm, this story sounds fishy already, but welcome to the forum in any case.

 

hmmm whats sounds fishy about it?

 

this is her

 

and le me rephrase what i said earlier dad ordered the car and it was made and shipped to stamey dodge in marion north carolina nothing fishy about it

 

Forum believes Karmann stopped making these in 2006/07 and have been shipping inventory ever since. Why don't you post the VIN number (last 6 digits) and the date of manufacture from the driver's door. Don't take offense, we're as ****-retentive about facts as we are about our cars.

 

Dad bought it for me new had to wait on it to be made in Germany and shipped to the state. I think that is what Stogey was commenting about being fishy. When was the car ordered and when did you receive it, what is the build date? They stopped making Crossfires awhile ago and Chrysler broke up with Daimler also. More than likely the dealership located your car and had it sent from another dealership. How many miles was on it when you got it?

 

Hate to burst your bubble my young friend, but the fact is that the Crossfire ceased to be produced after December 2007.......And Chrysler quit taking orders sometime the year before !

Chrysler Crossfire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fish Story !

 

I remember being 15 going on 16 with my car... those were the good years :-D

 

Is there a point behind beating up on Lance? I like his car and hope he has a long and enjoyable time with it. And with the forum.

 

i waited 9 months on the car it had 1.6 miles on it give me a second i'm going to get the vin and build fate

 

Welcome to the world of Crossfire, lance. You'll enjoy the car to no end. How did you come to decide on a Crossfire? Hang with this Forum; it's filled with more poop on the vehicle than anywhere else on the web.

Gives us pics of the wheels you'll put on it! Are you sure about sizes, specs and such? Check the site for information and make sure they're correct before you pay for them. What kind of tires are you getting?

Enjoy the new car.

PS: will your dad adopt me?

 

last six of vin 074 957 i looked on the door you guys are correct says made 10/07 didnt arrive to the states till 08 and it is titled as on 08 was ordered in feburary of 07.

 

Not beatin the kid up, just pointing out facts.....am I being Non-PC ?

Sorry kid, not tryin to steal your thunder, welcome to our lil addiction and you will ..... no doubt ..... enjoy your Crossfire !

Congrats and Welcome to the Forum

 

Please don't tell my son this story. He was very happy with the $800 '98 Altima I bought him - I even replaced the winshield and did a couple things to pass inspection - it only had 120,000 miles on it a year ago Oh, and he is 33.

I would have loved a xfire when i was 16... sadly i had to deal with a 93 2door escort. i cant complain though. that little beast got me through 2 years of high school and alomost all the way through college before repairs just didnt make financial sense. made me really really appreciate the xfire once i picked her up!!! welcome to the forum and enjoy the car!!!

 

Built in 2007 and titled as a 2008 is no problem. Helps re-sale. Your VIN is about 2900 later than mine (see below). BTW, enjoy it and be careful out there.

PS - Is it a stick and did it come with a dead pedal?

 

Lance, I hope you enjoy your ride (even though it is not red ). I wish I had something as neat as an XF when I was 16. I had to drive a '69 Chevy Impala 2door (red of course).

 

nah its a auto i'mk to lazy to change gears everyday lol but i have a 93 pony gt thats a five speed all orignal and if i don't sound like to much of a newb her whats a "dead pedal"
