I will say this I learned enough from this car that I would not envy anyone with a Mercedes ever again.
I now have a good old red neck sports car A Chevy 4X4 Colorado, 242 HP and plenty of torque, regular gas, regular oil changes, car wash maybe, winter-not an issue, bring it on.
I will look back years from now and can say I owned a Crossfire, will I be sad I sold it, maybe. It has a few great things about mostly its looks, but you either love it or hate it because it is so different, this is why people look. If all the looks were positive they would have sold a lot more!
Good luck when the Head on that 5 Cylinder Isuzu motor goes bad. It will between 70,000 and 90,000 miles. The valve seats are made out of material that is too soft and over time, they wear WAY DOWN, very quickly. This then cause low compression, Hard Starts, A constant Check Engine Light cause by the cylinders misfiring etc. GM knows it's a big problem ,but just like GM, they ignore it, and pretend they have never seen that happen before whenever someone comes in with a problem. I know, the company I work for has three of them, and 2 have already had this problem. One is an '04 and the other and '06. I also have a friend that has one that is in the shop right now getting a new head at 71,000 miles. Good Luck!!! Better sell it before 65,000 miles.
