Default Re: San Antonio '05 Base Cpe - Anyone seen it?

I am back in Amarillo with the car. I really really like the way it drives. Very responsive, abundant power, nice engine sound. I got it up to very very fast today on a straight 5 mile flat stretch of 137 between Big Lake and Lamesa. It tram lined some but other than that was very solid.

Surprises were:

The power point/cigarette lighter is dead

The check engine light was on when he picked me up at the
airport. The seller said it had just come on for the 10,000 mile
check up. It went off at 10,005 miles

Three very slight door dings in the driver's door.


Mildew smell

There was NO curb rash on the wheels.

It had been waxed sometime back and the wax was not cleaned out of
the seams in the body panels

He gave me a very nice cover to go with it. He said it was a factory
Chrysler Crossfire cover.

Some very light scratches that will buff out.

Left front signal not working, probably just a bulb.

The seat is going to have to have some work because I need more thigh support and lumbar support. Had a case of bottled water with me. I drank three down paritally and then squeezed the air out and used them for temporary bolsters. I need the front bottom of the seat to be about two inches higher with the back bottom of the seat at the lowest setting. And just maybe a half inch of lumbar support.

The seat leather was very well surface finished, cut, sewn, and fitted.


Thrilled with the car. Really thrilled.

Thanks for the advice and information.

Mike
