This forum is a great source of info about these Crossfires so as you do some fixes you will probably find answers to any of your questions here.
Many threads are posted to help you to restore your foggy headlights to start
The "search" box above is the best place to start

Again welcome, Gary

The driver pull handle and headliner are common issues.

A cracked headlight is probably the worst thing on your list. Headlight assemblies cost WAY too much. The other stuff is not expensive to fix.

But I must say, I don't SEE a crack in the headlight....

Congrates on your Crossfire. A quick pointer that saves me lots of potential grief was doing the basic repairs called for when you purchase one. I read the forum after I got the car and went about doing most of the work myself to make sure the heart of the car would work and then off to the cosmetics later. It saved it. I did the following based on some very experienced Crossfire owners and my 04 has been trouble free since I purchased it most are DYI: RCM resolder around $20 sent to member to do; sticky key fix $60 had friend mechanic do it but can be DYI: crankshaft position sensor cost of part; spark plugs cost of plugs: engine flush and replaced the thermostat -// rest was hood strut, steering stabilizer DYI easy to do and was worn out; front bumper and rear bumpers painted perfect computer match $200. Two sweet floor mats with corssfire logo $107: change out old front headlights cost of parts; meguir front headlights resurfacing kit to get read of fog DYI easy; next is oil change; brake fluid and manual trans fluid change and differential fluid too. She has 101,000 miles but runs tight and sweet.
Wishing you well my friend. Forum members are great ans suggest you browse the site and 180 is very responsive too.

That's awesome Joep! I'm having a mechanic replace the front bottom pulley on the belt. It loosened, but turned out it needed to be replaced. The dealer fixed it at no charge! Awesome!! He is also changing the oil and filter while under the hood. I'm off to a great start so far. I only test drove it about 2-3 blocks personally so far.

Mine has 170k miles. I'll add some of the things you mentioned to my To-Do list. Also vlog on YouTube under the same screen name. DivineKrystal

I sent a request on Facebook to join the group as well! Waiting to be accepted!
