That car is awesome! A V-8 in such a small cramped compartment and the fact that just about no Chrysler dealership or Mercedes dealership will touch it probably would shun away a huge bunch of people. I just cannot wrap my head around trying to do any kind of maintenance without pulling the engine/transmission out! I would have a problem even trying to find a leak let alone doing much of any visual inspection without a lift. Bob, I hope you get to l;eave her with someone who would truly appreciate the marvel you created.

The car is no harder to work on Than V6. the engine is exacly the same engine as the V6 except two more cylinders at the front and those are the easiest spark plugs to get to. No disrespect but anyone who would take a Crossfire to a Mercedes or Chrysler dealership that is not under warranty isn't very bright. Any independent MB shop could work on this. It is actually easier since they can use their MB Star DAS system on it which they are more likely to have than the special Crossfire card for the Chrysler system.
