Default Re: Crossfire wannabe

I am new to crossfires as well..there will be others on this forum that can tell you specifics, but from what I have read, there should be NO issues with a 26000 mile car... so.. I was just looking at the general condition of the vehicle.. the things that I couldn't see clearly from the photos, but looked a little funny, were, left front, ahead of the tire, there seemed to be some damage, or perhaps the front facia pulling away.. why?? was my question.. had it hit a curb, etc.. there was some damage to the wheels from the old curb scuffing.. Non stock wheels..(although he said they had the factory wheels..). The brakes seemed to be quite worn on the front.. (again the pictures were not that clear) with that low of miles, the brakes should be almost new!!.... and inside, the drivers seat seemed to be quite worn, as were the carpets. . I was looking for a vehicle with low miles that had been taken care of.. this one didn't give me that impression from the photos, but after speaking with the salesman a few times, I could be wrong, because he was saying it was a premium vehicle that had been taken very good care of.. Seeing the vehicle in person, and driving it, would tell the story..I just never got that far!!..

now I realize this is a 5 year old car, but with only 26000 miles, it should be in top shape. and the price is in the upper end at 19000 as well.. again I was looking for a premium vehicle. my impression of this one from the photos, was it was a daily driver that might have had regular oil changes, but wasn't really taken care of that well... I talked to the salesman a few times, and he tried to send me pictures of everything, and answered my questions, but his idea of a premium vehicle, and mine might have been a little different.. however...If my truck would have sold (the person I sold it to, backed out) I would have flown down to look at this one.

hope this helps..
let me know what you think..

dale.
