This is my first post so please go easy on me. I'm looking to buy a 2005 Crossfire base model 6spd with 18k miles. I drove it and talked the dealer down to $14,000 (with my worthless trade-in) out the door with full warranty until Nov 2008. The dealer said I will also get the remaining 7/70 warranty until 2012. I test drove only one other before this one. This one has no door dings or curb rash on the rims. The only thing missing is the plastic front seat lever on the passender side.

What do I need to look for before buying? Common issues? How reliable is it? This will be my daily driver. My weekend car is a 94' Viper.

I've been driving a 1991 Dodge Stealth for 8 years that currently has 275k miles! Needless to say, it's very old, rusted, dinged, and makes lots of noises. I wouldn't get more than $1500 for it and it may take a while to sell, so I'm giving it to the dealer to knock the price down (He wanted no less than $15k out the door without trade-in). If I buy a Crossfire, it's certainly has more power than my SOHC Stealth. It felt like a DOHC Stealth with 225hp. I figure I may just get a chip later to bump it to 235hp or so. Any other worthwhile upgrades? I really don't need alot of HP since I own a Viper for that.

Thanks for your help.
