I've never had anyone else work on my car, but from what I understand routine maintenance at the dealer is around $140 and up. I do my own maintenance, it's usually around $70 for a new filter and oil!
Hope this helps somewhat.
Thanks for your help! What I meant was, does the car have the usual 15,000 or 30,000 mile Scheduled Service increments? Those services are shown in the owner’s manual, and usually entail such things as spark plugs, spark plug wires, drive belts, timing belts, chassis lubrication, etc.
I ask because those services on my Eclipse Spyder are crazy expensive. The 30,000 mile services are around $2,000 because the intake must be taken off the car to change the timing belt, spark plugs, wires, etc. I just want to know what I'm getting into with the Crossfire fully because I don't want another money pit like my Eclipse. :-)
