Default How Much Should I Be Looking At?

I am looking at an 04 coupe. 79k highway miles listed for 10.3k. I am hoping I can get the guy down into the 9k's atleast.
I was reading another thread about crossfires and read that proper oil changes cost $90 and that xfires require premium gas?

What other costs should I be looking for in these cars? Do they need anything else special?

How often do you recommend them to be replaced?

Nope he is not. 12 sparkplugs on a Crossfire. Try owning a Hemi Charger...16 plugs to change.

Yep, two per cylinder under the coil pack. Thread UNHIJACKED..Sorry.


Good luck with your purchase, despite the little issues, the car is worth just about any price you pay. I paid $30K for my first one and $20K for my second one. I am hoping to pay $10K for my third.

It's really hard to say. Kinda like the C4 Vette's. Each one is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.
I'll give you the same advise I give the C4 guy's. "Buy the newest one with the fewest miles that you can afford.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
