Default Yet Another Possible New XF Owner

Do many of you drive your Crossfire as a daily driver or are more owners keeping them for sunny day toys? I'm on the fence looking at Crossfires after reading many of the discussions in this forum, the most helpful being at https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...crossfire.html.

My greatest concern is availability of parts if I need them. I generally do most of my own automotive work as a shadetree-type mechanic so I'm not afraid to tackle the basic maintenance & tune up things (can be a blessing and curse). My current daily driver is a 2004 PT Cruiser and back up is a 1997 Chevy K1500 either of which have my fingerprints as deep as a timing belt (PT), front wheel bearing (PT), spider fuel injector (Chevy) and head gasket (Chevy).

That being said, if I were to get a Crossfire, it would be my daily driver. I've loved the looks of these cars since they came out and I believe that I can find a relatively low mileage car in the $8,000 - $13,000 range (non-SRT - sorry - don't necessarily need a hot rod and prefer rowing my own).

Thanks for your insight.

Rick
