Yes... horsepower was in the low 250's.... 253 I think. Still not bad for a V6 at the time.

Prowlers are rare and tend to grab more attention than a Crossfire in my opinion.

although i haven't been looking...that one appears to be a good option. also, there's an '06 with 120 miles in nebraska and an '08 with 528 miles in new york. then, there's that charles guy in new york also with the low miles (1,500) srt-6...seems like he's had that one for sale forever.

It is indeed the rare silver. Although, having gone through literally thousands of listings, silver seems fairly common( in Roadster form at least).

I've been a complete pain in the A$$ looking for a new XF, since I want what I had before. It has been very difficult to find 2007/2008 SSB coupes w/ Autosticks. But...look and I shall receive... god willing.

Hopefully flying out this weekend.

I haven't seen very many "Silvers" at all. The Saphire Silver Blue is pretty common, but not the "Silver".

Also, with regard to running a car max on it, the add say's they'll run an autocheck for you -- if you ask. May want to call them and have them do that. They'll also provide more pictures. Seems like a great car.

Good luck.

Locally, there arent many at all, but doing a nationwide search, I found more results than expected for '07/'08 silvers. Most of which were not even close to the east coast.

With this and the picture of the damage, I'm surprised the bags deployed. I've done airbag litigation for manufacturers. All the time people are suing for airbags not going off on a rolled car or a side or rear impact. The lawyers and the public don't understand their purpose. The general rule is that if you survived the accident without life threatening injuries and the airbags did not deploy, then they worked as designed. These things, in their own right, can kill you, and the ones in the dash and the wheel are only supposed to deploy to save your life or prevent/lessen sbh in a front-end collision.
