Hey guys! I'm possibly going to pull the trigger tomorrow on a 2004 graphite metallic with 68k on the clock for around $11k and am very excited! Full disclosure, I'm really a Camaro guy and am a member of Camaro5.com under the name blackZbandit, but it's time to buy another car and since I'm heading back to school full time next year I can't commit to $40k for a new 5th gen F-Body.

I've always loved the styling of the Crossfire and decided that if my current beater dies before I'm out of school the XF would be my next vehicle. I've test driven a couple, and while they are a bit tight (I'm 5'10 and a wide 250lbs... almost all muscle though lol), they were a blast to drive and I had fun scaring a couple of car salesmen playing with the autostick!

With all that said, the CarFax on the car I'm looking at looks pretty clean; 2 owners (1st was a lease), no accidents, not many service records though. I'm going to the dealership tomorrow afternoon and wanted to know what items or problems particular to this car I should look for and/or ask about. Also, I've done my research and know about the issue with the transmission leak, do any of you have an idea of about how much that repair runs? And last, but certainly not least... what's the best CUP HOLDER solution?! (can you tell I've been lurking for a couple of days? lol)

Any help would be greatly appreciated... thanks!
