After the hassles of my car getting totaled, I had to find something else.

Picked up an '05 Crossfire Roadster yesterday and has everything I was looking for. RWD, 6-speed, cloth seats, and most importantly in my price range :lol: Got her for $10,800 with a warranty, not the fastest, but a lot more fun to drive than my tC. Just finished waxing her up and getting ready for a top-down summer .

Way'L- (that is s'othern speak for well) - welcome. I joined the forum a couple of years ago, and for a new owner it was definitely the 'go to' place to find out the answers to questions! I continue to value the info available at this site - Congrats on your purchase - you loved it to begin with, so just stand by for more of the same!

I joined the forum a while ago when I was thinking of buying a Crossfire and ended up with something different.. years later I finally buy the Crossfire and was able to remember my password for here! welcome aboard, enjoy your stay.

p.s. can I have the bin in your center console? I'll trade you a cup holder that doesnt want to pop up

hey i thought it was worth a shot..

p.s. I got this (Amazon.com: Bell CO51 Octopus Cup Holder: Automotive) and put it in the center console... it fits in perfectly (I added some velcro to the bottom), in fact I'm not sure if I'll be able to get it out again.. only thing is that you have to keep the console open when you have a drink in there

Of course that deal came with 96,xxx miles on the clock, lol. But from what I've scavenged around here these cars are pretty reliable.

I'd say welcome to the forum, but welcome to ownership seems more fitting

Hope you enjoy!
