Default Re: Is this worth it? Or should I skip this Crossfire?

Steer clear. High miles, recon title. If you're already struggling, this car can easily bankrupt you. Maintenance alone is steep. 8 quarts of Mobil 1 synthetic oil for an oil change, 12 platinum spark plugs (special ones ), 2 air filters and a super expensive fuel filter with a built-in pressure regulator....this is assuming you just do routine stuff. If a repair comes due, which it will, things could look grim. Oh, and I second the comment about tires. About a grand for a set. Hold out for a good one. If you can't afford one right now, buying a potential basket case sounds like too big of a gamble. Also worth taking into consideration is your insurance premium.
