compression check very important

Check serpentine belt

Battery check.....Crossfire has lots of power requirements, don’t go more than 5 years even if it tests fine

Knowing all the above, at best, you wont be caught off guard.

if car still seems solid you have bought a well built machine for 2,600. Spend time here learning solutions to the 3 to 5 problems and throw your worries away.

best of luck and lots of curves,
