Listen to your Dad young man. LOL!

Seriously, if you're on a shoestring budget, a Crossfire is not for you. Are you aware of the oil change cost? 8 quarts of Mobil 1 oil plus filter will set you back around $60 doing it yourself. Double that if a dealer does it.

And that's just regular maintenance. These cars are all Mercedes parts under the hood so repairs are not cheap unless you have resources for parts and have the skill and knowledge to do it yourself. There have been many here on the forum that had to sell because they could no longer afford the upkeep.
