So, are they good cars? Any problems to look out for? Any reoccurring or common problems that they have? Are they expensive to fix when something does break? What about servicing, maintenance, etc? I currently own a 1996 Mercury Cougar and after fixing my brake booster earlier this week I have put $2,100 into fixing this thing since I have had it and am ready to get rid of it and I am looking for a Crossfire. I have found a few around the Dallas/Ft. Worth area for around $7-9,000 with anywhere from 65k-120k miles on them. I don't really want with with 120k on it though if it won't be a reliable car. There is one I am looking at that is a '05 Coupe Limited, black with black interior, tinted windows, all the options, pretty good shape cosmetically, with 99,000 on the clock and they want $7,995 for it. I really like this one and I know it depends but does this seem like a good buy to you guys? I just need to know because I need something much more reliable than what I am in! Thank you so much!!
