I saw a topic on the forum where this is a fairly easy DIY fix, but I wouldn’t want to have a project like that immediately after getting my new-to-me car. PLUS, I would probably not like having to do that job after paying for something outside of my budget either.
Also, I agree with you about the price of the ’04 being a bit high. I would think around the $8,500 range would be something I would consider. Esp. with the issues at hand. OH, I also took a look on the forum and noticed that some say that a Syncro Kit would fix the 1st gear pop out thing. Not sure what that would cost without warranty, but it is a suggestion I could make to the dealer to check into before the sale.
Thanks for your input.
Be aware that an '04 at 64,000 miles some of the bolt-on stuff is likely to start going bad. Just like on any other car, you could expect alternators, water piumps, etc. to go. And then at 64K you are probably due for the first brake job, alignment and the like.
Not trying to scare you off, just being realistic.
But good luck. The Crossfire is an exceptional automobile for the money. You won't be disappointed.
