Hi everyone, this is my first post, I am thinking of buying a used crossfire here in the uk and i wonder if you can give me some advice on what problems with them i should look for. I hope to purchase a manual one.

Cheers

i just got march 2004 auto with 9,000 on clock for £16,000 (new was £28,500) from main agent... with 12 months RFL... no problems so far... they seem to be low mileage in general so really just "run in"... where are you in uk???... steve

 

That sound like a bargin! I'm in hertfordshire. Looking for a manual one. They look awesome cars. Yeah just run in buy the sound of it. how are you finding the car? How's parking etc? Where abouts are you?

car drives fine... not as fast as last car (import twin turbo gto)...fast enough and excellent handling... nice to get nearly 30 mph rather than just under 20 mpg with gto... ride is hard which i like..... no rattles and quirks like gto had... no concerns... steve... by the way i live in harrogate, north yorkshire... if you find they are more expensive in the south the local dealer here seems to get a few in!!!... steve

 

Hi there. Also considering buying a used crossfire. Am based in Bristol UK. I was wondering about mpg and in the users general opinion which is best a manual or auto?

Thanks

 

I consistently get around 25 mpg in mixed driving - close to 30 mpg if all highway. The transmission question has been beat to death on this forum, so read all the pros and cons. I drive the 6 speed, and really enjoy it, but it definitely takes some getting used to.
