Default Re: is this a good deal on 2004 crossfire coupe

OK brother you asked so I will share my opinion. Remember it's worth exactly what you paid for it.

I was uncomfortable buying a 6 speed crossfire with anything over a few thousand miles. Why? Well, I am a pessimist, the glass is always half empty with me. I do not know how the clutch was treated by the vehicles previous owner(s) and I am not willing to take that chance. A clutch replacement in these cars cannot be inexpensive.

I searched the country for a low mile XF w/6 speed and found it in Texas. Priced good enough for me and my wife that I was OK with flying to Dallas and driving it home. It is literally brand new.

34,000 miles is well above my limit. I passed on dozens of higher mileage, lower priced vehicles.

I will say this, if the car speaks to you and is what you want, make them an offer. Keep in mind their 1 year powertrain warranty wil not cover the clutch. Yes, I've been burned by the clutch issue before and I learned from it. It was an expensive lesson.
