Well, I sent an email to DC corporate with these questions. They were no help at all. Unfortunately all they did was send me the following canned response: "Thank you for your recent email to DaimlerChrysler Motors. We suggest that you contact the Sales personnel at your local
DaimlerChrysler Dealership for assistance with this matter."

What do you think any sales guy is going to say if I ask him if they can properly service the car? Of course he's going to give a self serving answer. Looks like I've got no choice but to go ask a few questions at the dealer and hope they are honest with me.

Thanks for all the info you guys have provided. If I end up buying the Crossfire or have more questions, I 'll be back.
