So im about to buy a crossfire 04 manual. Can i get everyones opinion on this car. (Non biased) I want to make sure im making the right decision and what im worried about most is the maintenance and gas. I know you have to pay big to look good but i want to get an idea. Im in NJ and premium is 2.37$ not too bad but still wanna know the average cost to fill up. Thanks guys 😀

 

Cost of gas in no factor, not when you find out you will be buying a $900 set of tires every 30,000 miles (if you drive like your grandmother, every 12,000 if you enjoy the car like I do).

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

Premium in Southern California is over $3. I commute 5 days, 12 miles one way and fill my tank once a week. It generally costs me between $28 and $32 each time. The price difference between regular gas and premium is not that noticeable to me though. The synthetic oil change costs more and tires are pretty expensive, as pizzaguy already mentioned. If you use Bosch parts, things like wiper blades are spendy too. But the Crossfire cool factor ... totally worth it.

 

Let's see now, gas tank capacity is 15.9 gallons, if you used up 15 gallons and the price per gallon was.$2.37 that would be ??? I need a calculator.
Depending on your driving and where you drive you could get 20 to 25 mpg, you would have driven ??? I still can't find that calculator.
You'd better figure it out.
Maintenance would initially depend on what condition the car is in now and how well it has been maintained, that is the risk as it is with all used cars. Get a mechanic to look at it if you can.
