c. oil leaks around valve covers ( no big deal and easily remedied, but a good bargaining point with dealers )
d. expect to be replacing the inter-cooler pump ( @ $150 )
e. tire wear patterns ( possible alignment issues )
f. don't expect the heated seats to work, bonus if they do.
g. use the manual shift mode and ensure not too much delay between you telling it to shift, and it actually shifting.
h. make sure you get the CD's for the Nav radio, but don't expect much out of it.
3. CARFAX !!! ( the dealer will most likely have NO other knowledge of the car )
4. Can't help you much there, qualified XFire mechanics are rarer than hen's teeth.
GOOD LUCK !!!!
( Sure you don't want a Roadster ????? )
100% agree with these---You can do better on the "deal"---Many on here sell and have GREAT histories.
I love these cars. I have bought and sold 6 of them and have kept #7 because of bang for the buck. You can NOT beat it. Good luck on the search.
Just a bit of advice---Take your time if you have it. These cars are DEALS in my mind and in the minds of others on here opinion but they are not the fastest sellers on the market, so unless it is a STEAL, take the time to look and check all the "shortlist" out.
And making the trip for a better car is worth the time. I drove 500 miles to get mine and do not regret it one bit.
