So if you had to spend $800 on a set of brakes, tires ????? etc you would, just to keep rolling and....yo love your car. Why does everyone have such a problem with a key price. "Special Interest" vehicles require "special interest" owners. Be grateful, parts are available for most everything, you just have to look a little harder. Any 15 year old car has service issues, parts issues etc. These things are built like tanks and finished like Mercedes. They will last a very long time. Take it from a long time street rodder who built a few cars from scratch over the years. These Crossfires are a cakewalk, and you can actually do most of the work yourself with some not so specialized tools and tons of help from the forum. So 50k for a roadster, no biggy. Wait 10 years. I understand a hemi cuda recently changed hands for $750k. Anybody have a problem with that?
