Hello, everyone!
Looking for a new car, and decided the new one would be a Crossfire, of one type or another.
I have finally found a 2004 that has 28K miles on it, which I figure is about 1500 miles per year, which i felt was just enough to keep the car from deteriorating, but did not eat the car up with wear.
(Although the fact that I have seen several Crossfires now with OVER 200,000 miles gives me hope the car will have a long life.)
I hope to be going to see and pick up my new car by the end of this week, or the beginning of next week, depending on flighty schedules and prices. I plan on a leisurely trip from Iowa, where the car was taken in on a trade, to my home in Tucson, Arizona.
I am a retired aircraft mechanic, and I worked on mostly Learjets for 35 years, and another 8 or 9 on such beasts as Boeing 757's and Boeing 737's.
I have a good assortment of excellent tools, and complicated vehicles don't scare me.
I also have some antique cars, and a Jaguar XK-8 that was my introduction to cars that are wonderful to drive, but miserable to maintain. It appears to me that the Crossfire is much better engineered and will be a better automobile for long trips
But I guess we'll see about that, huh?
