My wife is looking for a new car and I found a really low mile 04 coupe with a manual trans. Are these reliable cars? Is there anything to look out for on the xfire? They seem to be a bargain, but I don't know what kind of reputation they have?
Should I jump on this deal or stay away, if I am looking for a good relaible car that is fun to drive?
Thx.

 

2 years and around 10K miles here with no issues to report. Not enough power and curb's bite back are my lessons learned. There are a couple little things here and there that need checking like the RCM (Relay control module), Stickey key ignition fix, Valve cover leak, heated seat repair but there are How To's on the forum and those require very low amounts of money, if any. Maybe heavy on the labor side for most but not too bad.

 

Look here.

 

Thanks for that link.

Can someone tell me more about the RCM issues with this car?

search is your friend.

Good Luck

 

Well, I did not read about any issues with this car that were extreme or out of the ordinary. So, we bought one on Satuday. 04 coupe 6spd, w/27k on it. Super clean.
Thanks for the help guys.

 

Congrats on the purchase! You guys are probably going to love this car as much as the rest of us here! Think about some of the get togethers too! You'll find the people are fantastic in person also.. (Pizzaguy is in a class by himself though.. )

 

Congrats & Welcome
