Spoiler not working, light flashing, top does not work = fair chance the CLP/SSM has been wet due to water in the trunk. A replacement module and replacement of part of the wiring harness should fix this.
Burning smell is oil seeping out of the breathers, easy fix if you fix things.
It's a $4000-5000 car. Its a good buy (perhaps) for one of us who restores and tinkers with Crossfires.
"I know little about cars" = find a low miles one owned by a forum member or by one of our Faceboook members, you will pay $9000 to $12500 or more but you will be happy.
