GORGEOUS 2005 Crossfire Limited Roadster - NOT RUNNING
This roadster is in amazing shape but it has an electrical issue and cranks, but will not start. It all started with it randomly dying on me and starting back up after sitting 30 minutes or so. Not throwing any codes.
My husband and I read the forums and replaced the crankshaft sensor, When that didn't work we took it to a mechanic who replaced the battery, switched out the crankshaft senor with another one, and replaced the relay module. $900 later - still the same issue. Brought it home, bought a BCM and installed it but still no go. When that didn't work we sent the PCM out to a diagnostics company who said it was in working condition. We also replaced the camshaft sensor.
Anyway... I had it looked at by two mechanics and the engine is sound. I am asking $5000 OBO, I paid 12 for her and she is stunning, but we are trying to buy a new home and can no longer afford to keep her.

My brother recently visited me and really liked mine. He lives in Austin. I have a 200 mile tow with AAA....if the car is low mileage and with the help of all of our xfire friends, I think we would be able to get her running.

By your photos & mileage, $5k OBO is a real bargain! Symptoms seem to be classic crank. pos. sensor and/or relay control module, (no "fire in the hole") both relatively inexpensive repairs (done both), using oem parts (Bosch sensor & rcm available online or refurbish by tighed 1, here). CrPS & connector (pins) must make proper contact, check for good connection, no damage etc.
(not sure about your mechanic, $900 is a little bit much considering available wholesale pricing)
