I have only had my Crossfire six months so I have had no issues except a transmission leak that my dealer fixed for free.
The other fellows and gals will fill you in on the particulars. Your post was late at night for most of the U.S.A.
so you haven't gotten any responses but you will.
The reason their cheap is (1) were in a recession (2) they quit making them (3) most of the reviewers hated them and (4) not everybody likes the art deco style. They are a fantastic deal! The people who own them love them (independant studies) I hope you join us! cause were plain crazy about them!
Thanks for the reply! I know it's pretty late for most people
Something like that leak is exactly what I am afraid of! My problem is, I already have a "fun" car (Z4) so I was thinking I should buy a practical commuter car but I think I am gonna buy another fun car! I have never owner a Mercedes (or a Chrysler) before so I am not familiar with their typical problems. Hopefully I will get the answer here :> It's pretty much between XF, S2K and Miata now!
