purchasing a crossfire
purchasing a crossfire
Hello. I am considering purchasing a 2004 Chrysler Crossfire. I would be trading in my current car, which is a 2008 Hyundai Tiburon GT. The particular Crossfire I am looking at is a one owner car and has 54,000 miles on it. The asking price from the dealership is $12,095. I am wondering if there is anything I need to know about Crossfires with this amount of miles or what maintenance will be needed right away. The asking price is below KBB value, but is a good deal? Thanks in advance for any input.

I live in Kansas City, MO. I'm mostly concerned with immediate upkeep and maintenance at 54k.
Re: purchasing a crossfire
Brake fluid
PS fluid
oil change
coolant flush
differential oil
also : air cleaners and cabin filter.
Only other concern is if it is still the OEM battery .....

Two things to know.. pick you up a spare BOSCH crank positioning sensor and tools to replace it (small dollars) and check out the joints on the RCM. If she's been taken care of and you do the same your good for many miles of smiles..
Since I do spend quite a bit of time on Ebay looking at cars and parts, I'd say if the car is pretty cherry it's going to be "inline" with what they sell for. Main thing you need to know about Crossfires.. come here first with anything concerning the cars! Unless you like the idea of newly installed parts till it's fixed from your local $tealer.

Hmm.. since buying it from dealer.. wonder if they would hook it up and ensure no codes have been reset recently.. Having had my car this long, "that" would be a little more peace of mind on a purchase of one for me, or a 30 day warranty if they are "sure" this car is sound. Never hurts to ask before signing the paper work.
Re: purchasing a crossfire
Sit in it and make sure you can get the seat in a comfortable position first, the adjustment is rather limited (made for the height impaired ?). I had to pass on a very nice roadster and buy a coupe because I could not get the seat back far enough when reclined.
Did wind up removing the plastic trim on top of the crossbeam & spending some quality time with a hammer and small sledge. Seat now goes back far enough.
