Hello,

I am about to turn 21 and am very interested in getting a mid-mileage crossfire (60-80k miles) for a daily driver. I’m privileged enough to have little bills to pay so naturally I’m looking to get some with this car. I do have a couple thousand to put away for maintenance and repair and will be able to easily handle basic costs such as oil changes on time and tire rotations / replacements every year or so. I’d be getting a coupe model with an auto transmission. I can handle $1000-1500 annually on maintenance to give you an idea of my budget. Furthermore I am going to be buying this car outright, I will not be leasing or taking a loan for it.

Is a crossfire a feasible daily driver that I could also use on long (8-16 hr) drives occasionally?

What major costs should I expect to pay for when I first get the car? The big one I’ve read about so far would be to fix the sticky ignition problem, but don’t know how much exactly that would run.

Where do you recommend looking for crossfires? Currently I'm using facebook market place, cars,com and craigslist.

Lastly what would a good price be for a mid mileage crossfire, and assuming it’s not been abused how long do you all reckon it’ll last to?

I apologize if these questions are answered elsewhere but I used the search bar and didn’t find many results for daily driving.

Thanks for your time,
W

Update: Ha, as soon as I post this I get a bunch of recommended threads about daily driving these. Any input is still much appreciated though.
