Hello there onehundred80, how's your Xfire running today? I've been posting a few times in the forum relating how I just got my 106Kmile 2004 Crossfire Coupe but it's really not a new car for me. Four years ago, my wife bought the car for herself and I never drove nor payed attention to it: it was "HER" car. That same year, I retired from work, sold our home in Illinois and moved to Las Cruces,NM. On the way there, the car failed spectacularly: brake problems that caused us to spend 3 days and 2 nights stranded in Tucumcary, NM. Very expensive repair to add insult to injury. My wife was so mad, as soon as we got to Las Cruces, she sold the car. Fast forward to 3 weeks ago: the people who bought the car put it up for sale and I convinced my wife to let me buy it for myself. I had to go get it from Tucson Arizona and drove it straight back to Las Cruces, a 4-hour drive. I fell in love with it then: the car drives like a dream. Since then, I've accomplished the "Panthom Ignition" repair, polished the headlight covers, fixed-repaired & re-attached the broken driver-side speaker oval cover and I'm waiting on parts to replace the cup holder with a storage bin. And now, to ask help with my next projects: the car has 106K miles... I'm retired now; I want to travel far and wide and at long last visit as many of the grand Federal and State Parks that make our country beautiful! I do not want a repeat of the type problems that caused my wife to sell the car and I do not want to get stranded in the middle of nowhere with a dead car again. What can I do to make sure my Crossfire is in the most top mechanical shape possible?
