Default Re: what should I look for when purchasing a NA crossfire

Make sure the last oil change was Mobil1 0W-40 or equivalent. Non-Chrysler dealerships have a bad habit of using dinosaur oil. Make them change the oil and filter. Get the service records and find out if you are the second owner. I believe 3rd owner and up loses powertrain warranty. Find out when the original 36mo/36000 expires. Check every switch and option, every power accessory. Drive it a lot -- backroads and highway. Listen for squeaks or unusual noises. Brake hard at high speed in neutral and make sure it does not pull. Expect 1st to 2nd shift to be sticky until you discover the "groove".
