Default Newby having trouble starting my new 2005 Xfire

I moved to Florida recently from the Motor City and love it here. I have always admired the Crossfires and decided last month to search for a nice one that was well maintained. I found one in Palm Beach from a mid 70's year old man that had a beautiful Blaze Red Crystal Pearl with 34,000 miles in great condition. The records and car fax all looked great. So after an awesome 30 minutes test drive with no leaks on his garage floor the car ran great! I bought it and drove back home over 3 hours no issues what so ever. After two weeks I'm driving the expressway way at 75 miles an hour the speedometer dropped to zero. check engine light went on,' I got off the next exit and pulled into a nearby parking lot. shut the car off wouldn't restart or leave park. I waited 10 minutes car started back up everything was fine so I started heading home 10 minutes latter the speedometer back to zero with a bunch of warning light but car was running great an not over heating. I went to my buddies shop 4 miles away couldn't pull the codes said I needed to go to the dreaded dealer. I took the car home removed the RCM and had the bad contact points resoldered one was pretty bad. I thought that was the remedy, car started after a few minutes speedo stop, check engine light, abs lights etc...car will start after it sits a while but not running as well as when I first bought it..please help with any helpful info, battery was testing fine all connections are super clean. I'm bumming that such a beautiful car has made me so sad not knowing what to do next?..Richard K.
