What to look for in a used Crossfire
New to the forums. Looking at purchasing a Crossfire, have one I知 checking out. New to crossfires as well. The one I知 looking at is a 2004 with 47k mikes, well maintained it seems.
Just wanted to get some feedback from knowledgeable folks as to what to look for when buying these cars, things that might be specific to this car.
Is there a checklist for buying ised somewher here that i havent found?

Re: What to look for in a used Crossfire

Maybe I should erase my post and let you stagger about in the wilderness.��
You should read the content of that post not the just the title

Re: What to look for in a used Crossfire
If the person who has the list has never posted in a forum how come my post #2 here has where to go and get it plus more information than you could ever have realized existed about the Crossfire? My post leads you to what the later posts mention plus a huge amount more info, Service Manuals, Owners Manuals, repairs, production figures plus more and more. If they have never posted why would they post now?

Still not exactly what I've seen in other car forums, but close. In some there actually have a pre-purchase check list that takes you things to look for in that particular car. Here's an example of one in the Corvette Forums for new car pickup, but there are similar ones for used cars. That is essentially what I was looking for. Assuming we pick this car up, you'll hear more from me I'm sure, I tend to participate and add value in these groups (at least I hope and try) and not just leach off them. That said, I'm looking right now at a car, things could move quickly and I'm trying to find that information relatively quick so I don't lose out on the car. Reading through 100's of posts isn't as efficient as if there was a simple checklist I could print off and take with me.
It does sound like a couple things to look for are the heated seat failures as well as rust under the doors, I did pick up on that.

Re: What to look for in a used Crossfire
Ok, and I actually need to correct myself a little! I misread your post!
There was a part that said "Look here for your answers" with CLICK after that, which took me to the new car registration stuff.
Then under that it had the Index of Crossfire Problmes, repairs and How To's. I did miss that link. On the mobile version of this site, that part didn't look to be part of your post, it looked to be an ad, so I skipped over that link.
Now that I am on my computer it looks like you were providing two different links there. I will look through that as well.

Get an SRT and be done with it. Or an NA with an auto transmission, it will leave the manual equipped Crossfire standing as will a lot of cars.
