Guys, just wanted to say "good bye" as my crossfire goes in a few days time. Loved the car and the forum... one of the best.

Thanks again.
Neil.

PS: of you wondering what I have now replaced it with, its a Porsche... why... resale value etc...

 

Good bye Neil.
Enjoy your new car. Resale value is definitely better.
Always safe ride.
Greets.

ps: did you succeed in selling your sills?

 

sorry to see you go...but understandably.

out of curiosity...what model porsche did you purchase?

 

porsche's don't have a resale value, if you got a ferrari, you'd have something. most late model (2000+) porsches around here go for around 10 grand. a car is never an investment.

 

never an investment... do you know how much the drivers in UK have lost out buying a crossfire? also, porsche are the only car company in the UK to guarantee at VERY high return on purchase... please get facts rights. also... its an amazing car to drive... love to know which porsche you can buy for 10 grand on a 02' year.

 

chxf... thanks for the note... yeah sold the sills to a driver in Manchester, UK.

 

Andrew, purchased an 05/06 Boxster S... its an amazing car...

 

2001 porsche carrera 6 speed manual with around 30k miles on it, go for around 10 grand ... move along, everyone has a porsche around this area. go to 6speedonline, i used to own a porsche, until i started to dread the interior and how it looked like a dodge ram pickup inside ...

 

Core, well I guess its damn cheap on cars where you are... if everyone took the same opinion on cars like you have with a Porsche, then I guess you where never a big fan on Chryslers before the Crossfire came along... and come on, how awful was the car never mind the interior... everyone has moved on, so have Porsche... just like Chrysler.

 

bmerfan, correct, i never liked anything with the DC name on it. the interior plastics and modeling was real archaic, bland, and seemed to have been designed by kids in grade school ... i liked the fresh design and the crossfire accompanies my TT quattro roadster 6M real well since they're both the same dark grey color. it's too bad that the crossfire doesn't attract more of the younger crowd like me though.

 

Core, I agree... crazy thing is now that I'm without a XF, i've seen so many on the road, ). Its an awesome car... its taken a while for it to establish it-self here in the UK, but its nice to know that... no one I know has ever had a bad thing to say about it... I hope one day that DC continue to make the XF...

 

$10K for an '01 Porsche 911? not even close.

so where is the $10K coming from Core?

 

it totally missed the point of the thread. congrats, Neil --

 

Cheers rob...lol... i'm glad someone actually reads the thread...why was my stomach churning when I had to let go of the XF... because it'll be the first car i'll actually miss.

Cheers Rob.

 

porsche carrera not a 911, it's the same thing minus the turbo and brakes. either way, it's all the same around here, a friend of mine is trying to get rid of his GT3 and no one wants to buy it ...

 

Ahm, carrera is a 911! I'd like to see this '01 911 for 10k. Crash car?
Bmerfan, enjoy your boxster, it's a real sportscar. And resale value is in Europe surely much higher. My friend had a few years ago a '85 911 S. After driving for 3 or 4 years he sold it for the same money he bought it.

 

a 911 is always a carrera. it might not be a Carrera 4 or an S or a turbo model, but all 911's (993, 996, 997, etc.) are carreras. the cheapest Boxster i see on ebay is $12K (reserve met), and its a '97 with 6 days left, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=4560281325 , so highly doubt youll get a 911 thats not wrecked for $10K. maybe you meant a '91...

sorry to hijack Neil.

 

Congrats on a wise purchase. The boxter S is one hella car. You'll love it.

There was a 2001 Porsche 911 Turbo in the paper for 38k. Front end was in the back seat. lol.

 

I'd give him some cash plus both my cars for it. :-D
