It is amazing how little most people, and some owners,know about these fine automobiles. I guess this is why the poor initial sales. The reason prices will most likely increase is bacause of the limited production and the fact most owners fall in love with them and do not want to let them go. A lot of prior owners buy again because of withdrawals. Of course I couls be wrong but because of the wide range of ages of the owners (16-76) these vehicles will probable maintain a following far into the future. I know I plan on keeping mine for a long, long time. Spare parts (Mercedese related) should be readily available because of them not being used exclusivly on the Crossfire. Body and trim parts might be another story.
