Finally going to get a crossfire
Re: Finally going to get a crossfire
The first Xfire I looked at to buy was 3 hours away. Found it on Craigslist. I chatted with the guy several times on email to make sure it was in good condition and had no problems. I hadn't found this forum yet to get educated, but when I got there, I saw some glaring problems with the car ... that he had described as a cream puff. Once I pointed out the problems, he called me an a$$-hole and accused me of wasting his time - yeah HIS time. I spent 6 hours on the road (round trip) and had nothing to show for it. Two days later, the SRT I now own showed up on on Cars.com for not much more than the N/A I had looked at.
Things will work out - don't get discouraged.

Here's one in Monroe that has been up for sale since early Feb. Might be willing to deal ... ?

Hang in there. I negotiated for an SRT6 for two months, the day I called and said I'd be down for it, he told me, sorry, he sold it yesterday. The next day, the SRT6 I now own showed up on Cargurus.com with less mileage and brand new tires for the same $, owned by a dealer and well maintained. Good things are around the corner.
Re: Finally going to get a crossfire
Had a feeling it was.. "hey dang we just sold that an hour ago".. too bad it was a 4 hour drive.. but long as your here look at this great S10 pickup we got on sale.. and I'll knock another $200 off for you! "
Re: Finally going to get a crossfire
Ok so i am home now and tired!! So here is the story we were planning on going to see the crossfire i mentioned earlier but last second we changed our mind due to all the things that you all were saying. So we planned to head from Columbia SC to Acworth GA which is a 4 hour drive one way... so before we left we called and said that we were coming down from SC to look at it and asked what time they closed and if we got there at 6 would that be ok the guy said yeah that would be fine then we asked about the condition and he said its a fairly new car to the lot and he didnt know much about it so he would give it a test drive and call back so we said ok and then we left to head to there and we get there and he still hadnt called... i looked around the lot and realized that the car wasnt there. I walked inside and said hey Im shawn i called earlier about the crossfire and the guy looked like he saw a ghost. they proceeded to apologize to me and tell me how sorry they were and the car was in the shop for a "key reprogram". So i said well can i still see the car and they kind of hesitated and said yeah then i followed them down to the dealer. We got there and went to service. The girl that we followed from the dealership intoduced her self to the service guys and they had a confused look on there face. We told them our story how we came from columbia and we were wanting to buy the car. The guy was like well its not ready and we said cant you quickly program the key? the guy told us basically that it wasnt the key and that they have had the car since Saturday and it wont start........ so basically the guys lied to us and cost us 200 dollars in fuel and food so im kind of pissed
Thank yall for all of your inspirational comments they have helped me keep my head up!!

As long as it wasn't two tries to start and nothing till battery was disconnected.. then that one would make you skreem.. LOL.
But if they got nothing at they key when trying to crank.... even after battery cable "reset".. odds are good on the RCM .
Your call but if they been staring at it since Saturday..

Re: Finally going to get a crossfire
Let us know if there is something you are seriously after and we can probably save you some time
If you are only looking at the most inexpensive cars out there, I have a feeling you are going to find quality to match the price - as others have said, it can be an expensive acr to fix, hell tires and an oil change will be north of $1K...
