We are all using Internet to educate our selfs and thanks to such forum, we do have precise information by the real user who pay money for their toys. Its seems now that the dealer is completely useless. They don't know their products, they have no clue on how to resolve issues, tuning the car or simply getting a brochure... Well, again, tks to all of you! I am getting my new/old 2004 Crossfire Roadster this Friday. It will sleep in the heated garage until Arpril and I will hit road with this beauty next spring! My little girl is very happy for me... and my wife WILL not have the second key... That's dady's toy... Cheers
Funny, because mine ticks a bit too, but not noticeable all the time, just occasionally and is really quiet.
Re: the dealers, you're right they don't know all that much about them. To be fair though, they didn't sell a heckuva lot of them and they're so reliable that they probably didn't get too much experience with them so in that respect it's understandable that they don't. I take mine to a Ford Chrysler dealer who runs a Quicklane operation, and they've done a good job on it. Basically, it's all a mechanical piece like everything else, and a good mechanic can work well with a bit of familiarization on just about anything. So overall I'm really not all that concerned about it. What I am a bit more concerned is when we get to the point of lack of parts. Then the fun begins.
