Q: Interested in a used 04 Crossfire. 2 accidents, frame damage reported. Would like quote for diagnostics at dealership before I buy
Hi, I'm interested in a used 04 Crossfire. 2 accidents and frame damage reported - I don't know how long ago the accidents were or the extent of the damage "under the hood". The exterior is pretty clean, but I don't want a repair nightmare as soon I start driving around in the car.
I would like a quote to have an expert to come out and run diagnostics on the car at dealership before I buy. Also, at what stage in the process should I have someone come out? Is it normal to put a down payment on the vehicle to hold until I get the results from diagnostics? Or shall I show up to the dealership with down payment in hand and expert on the spot? Thanks in advance guys (or girls)!
