Here's the deal - a brand new 2007 base coupe with sticker price near 31000 for just 17000. I test drove the car today, but I thought the interior was kind of cheap looking. There didn't seem to be a cupholder in sight. My first sports car was a 1974 Triumph Spitfire, and that didn't have a cupholder, but now - I think I need one. Otherwise, the car handled like my old Spitfire, and moved quite a bit quicker! Does the 3 year 36000 mile warranty include loaner car? Should I buy it for 17000, or wait for the Pontiac Solstice coupe? Thanks for all your help!

As of today, some dealers are offering a flat 18k off of MSRP on any 2008 NEW Crossfire. The remaining units are scheduled to go to auction, and this is the last year they'll be sold. I was offered an auto w/leather but w/out nav for $16,900 plus TTL earlier today on a new one from a Texas dealer (I had them send me the written, signed paperwork on it). Bad cars for winter driving, and choppy ride, though. Also, fuel mileage is bad. |

Well, after haggling a few more days, the dealer came down to 15,857.00 plus tax and license. I walked out of Larry Reid's Bloomington Chrysler with a brand new 2007 base Crossfire coupe in black for 17,334.00. The MSRP was 30,745.00. I've been driving this car around for about 2 weeks now, and I like it more every day. It reminds me of my 1974 Triumph Spitfire, only with alot more power. There's not much room in the interior, and no cupholder. The radio has a bothersome lag, but all that is forgiven when you hit the curves - or hit the GO pedal! By the way, my first tank of fuel brought 23.4 miles per gallon. I'm not complaining.

Either way, that's less than a Honda Civic. |

Yes, my new 2007 Crossfire is a manual transmission model. The color is black. I noticed that some of the Crossfires I see have a brushed aluminum border around the windsheild. Is that for a Limited? Is it for certain years. The reason I'm asking, is that my border is black, but it looks like it's not metal. Can I wax that part? It kind of retains fingerprints - almost looks anodized. Would it hurt to wax it? Thanks for all your help with a Crossfire "newbie"!

Yes, you are correct. Except for the 2004 model year, the aluminum border is for the Limited models. The engines are the same, you just get some other appointments like faux chrome around areas of the interior like the door handles, speakers, etc. I believe the leather seats are standard in the limited as well. It's just cosmetic really. Will not affect performance or your looks on the exterior (other than the aluminum around the window and the fake vents next to the front tire wells), those being the most important of aspects anyway
