Welcome to the forum California! Please ignore the cold response. The Crossfire is sort of the ******* child of Mercedes Benz and Chrysler. It is so cheap because it was never marketed well and people think it's a crappy Dodge Neon in fancy clothes, which of course, it is not. It has all the mechanical bits of a Mercedes SLK 320... in fancy clothes. Most of us are glad that it's not well known. The reactions that you get driving one are priceless.

I hope that helps you some. And come back and visit us and let us know what you decide!

Edit: Thank you whoever deleted the less friendly answers I was alluding to.
