I think this car will hold up very well.If you compare the Crossfire with any other 35k car the crossfire will win hands down.If you put the car on a lift you will see the build quality.Even the windshield washer hose is of high quality.Every part of this car is painted or under coated.The top of the line Chrysler was the 300m (30k+) and its build quality doesn't come close to the Crossfire.Just think about it any problem your having with the Crossfire...Mercedes owners are having the same problems on their 45 to 85k car.
