I am officially starting to look for a nice used car.
Welcome!
As for purchasing: I bought my coupe from CarMax, which turned out to be a pretty good way to go. I searched my "local" (Sacramento!) CarMax lot, and jumped when they had the car I wanted. By the time I got to the dealer, the price had already lowered. Nice.
I recently acquired an SRT-6 as a site-unseen internet purchase. I'm happy to tell you that all worked out quite well -- good price, straight up dealership (5 star Chrysler dealer). Not that my stomach wasn't doing flipflops the whole time, mind you. I had to pay for transportation, so that was kinda the only bummer. You probably know all the sites to haunt (or use RSS -- the info comes to you!): cars.com, autotrader, etc.
There are good online tools for researching vehicle title, repair history, etc. There's also a service that sends an independent appraiser to check out the car, then sends you the report.
Service: Chrysler 5 star for warranty work. Call around, ask the service manager if they have Crossfire-trained service tech. If yes, schedule the work with him.
Best of luck. We all love our XF's; you probably will too.
