Default a Trend here?

It's a shame that there seems to be a trend among us Crossfire owners and previous owners in that, Once we have to see a dealer (five-star ) we fall out of favor with our own decision to buy this car in the first place. Then the fact that, there is virtually NO aftermarket for this automobile is disheartening. I see a trend here. As soon as a lease is up or the Sh*tty service dept. gets to you, the Crossfire looses it's sheen. Don't get me wrong, I loved this car...Still do. But my reasoning for trading it in, was...

"It's The Service Stupid!" My dealer would return my car with dirt and grease around the A pillar and on the console, among other things and a general "I don't care about your "$40,000 dollar NOW $24,000 car" I was lucky, this was just regular service.

Still love the look of the Crossfire and loved the way it drove, But I think next time I'll just buy the 3 pointed star. In the mean time, I digging the h*ll out of my Mini Cooper S and got my wife a drop top also, she loves it to death.

Chrysler, really screwed up on this one. I never bought a Chrysler product new before. Traditionally bad resale & poor body design in my opinion,,,I thought that changed with the advent of the 300C and the Crossfire.
Now there's a HEMI in everything, what's next a hemi powered lawn mower?

I'll let you know about the BMW service...

PS, I took a ton of Pictures before I traded it in...still love this car, just to much baggage and not enough at the same time. Don't be to hard on us "traders" or is that traitors? LOL.
