Looks a good buy with low mileage and in the fastest colour as well.
Is it an auto?
When going to look at it check all the wheels for damage as they get damaged really easy and are over £500 each, Check tyre depth as again they are very pricey and make sure it's got FSH.
If it's a manual ake sure it dosen't jump out of first gear and listen for any noises from the steering or suspension.
It's a buyers market so don't be afraid to offer less money I would try £7000 but if it is in good condition go for it.
I can't believe there so cheap now but I think the tax hike wont be helping plus the MPG I get around 23 MPG.

Good luck and let us know how you get on.

Norrie.

Yass...Where are you located? I'm sure that if another Xfire owner is in your area, they may well be happy go and view the vehicle with you and give their views on it etc.

Norri is correct, its a buyers marked so ensure you offer is well below the asking price..and as there are many Xfires for sale the seller may well say yes, rather than be stuck with it.

Good Luck

Ken.

Cool Re: Thinking of Buying a Crossfire - need help and advice

Yeah, take your time. The worst thing to do with any car is show the seller that you really want it.

I have been looking for a crossfire for almost a year (a little too long), but the right one has not shown up. With the economy the way it is not, it shouldnt be long before a good deal arrives.

He must of found one and he hasn't stopped driving it long enough to report back.
