I surely hope that I will not have tons of maintenance problems with the Crossfire (now 53,000 miles).
Sorry to see you go as I come in....
Oh, don't get me wrong, the Crossfire is a very reliable car, granted that you take care of it. I neglected mine more than I should have, but I was young and poor for most of my ownership of it and put off some things I should have done. That being said, the Crossfire I had was still running strong and would have been fine if I had done the maintenance, but between changing the trans fluid, having the crankcase breather cleaned and redone, the brake fluid flush, changing the spark plugs soon, replacing the tires every 2 years at least, and the $80 DIY oil changes, it was a bit much. The car is an excellent car and I hope it brings someone else years and years of joy. I'll miss mine, for sure.
