Default What to look for when buying a Crossfire

I have been looking for a crossfire convertible and have found two. One is a 2005 with manual trans, dealer, and the other is a 2006 with auto, private party. When I go to check them out is there anything I should be looking for which only applies to a Crossfire?

Thanks.

The convertibles have had problems with the rear window glass detaching from the canvass.

There is a fix for the problem ... buy a coupe instead who wants to be another Miata anyway?

I'm afraid that the coupe looks like a turtle and just as slow

Ok.... So, what color(s) do you prefer?
Do you prefer auto vs. stick option?

Is either one an SRT-6?

What 's the mileage?

Does anybody on the Forum here know about these cars? If they do, that would be a big help for you (re: maintenance, accidents, overall care).

And, I like to advise XF shoppers to be patient. There is a good car out there for you and will be within your budget.
Best of luck and Happy New Year!
