Default [SOLD] 2004 Red Coupe AT 112k mi

Hi folks! I'm afraid my time as a Crossfire owner, after 11 years and two Crossfires, is at an end. I bought this car four years ago (to the day, as it happens) at 66k mi as the fourth or fifth owner. I've since nearly doubled the mileage, and it's been a blast to drive. I'd still be driving it if I could, but unfortunately the car has developed a number of problems over the past year, and it's become untenable for me to keep it. The car appears to have an issue with the Power Control Module, per the dealership - I've had to replace the SKREEM module four or five times so far, twice in the past six months. After this last replacement, the dealership is no longer willing to replace it under warranty without the PCM replacement. This also appears to be the root of another major issue, which is that the turn signals appear to only function 25% of the time now - this suddenly cropped up about two months ago. Additionally, the reverse lamps have ceased working entirely, which started perhaps three months ago. The diagnosis on that is that the Illumination Control Module is in need of replacement. The combination of those three issues makes it somewhat uncertain to drive currently, and hence why we have to part ways

Mechanically, the car seems totally fine - drives great, no complaints on this front; no weird noises or anything of that nature. Have followed the regular maintenance schedule at the dealership; full fluid flush at ~95k. The leather also feels to be in great condition. I've had it in the Pacific Northwest the entirety of my ownership, so no harsh winters for this one.

Other things to note:
  • Passenger-side power seating is spotty; seems to work more often than not, though
  • Passenger-side lumbar seat heater is not functional; I do have an OEM repair kit for that seat I'll give you. I only hadn't installed it due to an issue with one of the bolts holding the seat down being too torqued; but I asked the dealership to loosen it on my last visit. Haven't verified it personally, though.
  • There's a slight leak in the weld seam for the drivers-side catalytic converter and needs to be re-welded. It can periodically cause the Check Engine Light to activate.
  • The TPMS sensor seems to have an issue and is triggering even with all tires at full pressure.
  • The headlights have some haze; I've polished them down somewhat from how they used to be, but they're not perfect.
  • The drivers-side cats-eye standing light (the one that's impossible to reach) needs to be replaced.
  • Some scraping on the drivers-side rear-quarter panel (blaming the previous owner for that one!)
  • The cupholder is broken and needs to be replaced, and the **** for the mirror control is broken (however, the control still works)
  • It's been my daily driver for four years, so the typical range of door dings and other minor cosmetic issues that come along with that
  • I've replaced the head unit with a Blaupunkt Toronto 420 BT. I think I still have the original head unit if you want that, however.

VIN: 1C3AN69L04X021275

Tires are Continental ControlContact Sport All-Seasons, and are about 18 months old, ~20k miles, 10/32nds remaining. Brake pads are 10mm remaining. Unfortunately, I don't have an invoice for the last brake job, but I could contact the dealership to dig that up if you're interested.

I'm asking $3,000 $1,500 for the car, as that is what I last paid into the car at the dealership, for the following three repairs:
  • Replacing the passenger-side idler arm, which was showing signs of fatigue
  • Replacing the water pump
  • Replacing the O2 sensors

I'm willing to hear out reasonable offers, however. I'm located in south Seattle, so please send me a DM if you're interested! It may well be that this car's future is for you to part it out as a donor for other Crossfires, but I'm hoping someone can make a project out of her
