Ok chaps, i'm desperate to buy a Chrysler Crossfire. They are rare cars (esp up here in Scotland), with only a handful for sale around the country.
I am aware that it can be a bit hit and miss when buying one. You might buy a 2nd hand one and find out that it's mechanically sound with no problems..
On the other hand, i'm reading you can end up with a Xfire with a lot of mechanical faults (transmission, engine failing, electrics failing)..

so my question is, if i go to a dealer/private buyer...what key things should i be looking out for...I know it's not possible to check for everything but still....
do you reckon I should find a mechanic/chrysler specialist and take him with me so he can look it over?

THe one i'm looking at is at a Chrysler/Dodge dealership so i'm sure i'm protected to an extent...

I have a Mazda MX-5 at the moment which are probably the most reliable cars on the road, so i'm not used to things failing/breaking down!

Help appreciated...
