Re: Who has the highest mileage on their Crossfire?
I'm the original poster. I'm glad to see some higher mileage ones still ticking! I am still sitting at 48,xxx miles. I haven't driven mine in 4 years. Although I start it up about 3 times a year and let it run. One of the lifters ticks real loud. Possibly because it has been sitting for 4 years.
The amazing part is that I have forgotten 2 winters in a row to remove the battery and it has sat dead. But it is the ORIGINAL factory battery and it is still holding a charge like day one.

Don't be foolish... Drive your cars!!! This engine will do a million miles if you do all services on schedule I put 740000 on a 4.5 of a 1972 vintage. In my first 100000 with a 2005 coupe ONLY had to replace C.P.S. and the seal on that 15.00 transmission plug. Go ahead drive em. Don't even think about the miles... Think about the love

WOW, this marks clearly what MB really is about. And of course gratulations to him, he is taking care very well of his XF. Would love to know what he specifically does to keep this car still running. I got to learn how to take care of this car. I am also looking forward to get a silver or gray SRT with low mileage.... can't wait to find it. That way all my mistakes and little defects I learned here until today (giving my son the car to go to work is one of them) I can make up to the SRT before they happen.
Love the XF not only for his looks, but also for his ability to show some morons ( here in Miami) how to drive a sportscar

Totally and unequivocally agree!. Having a Crossfire and not driving it daily would be like have a lot of "extra" money and not spending it (remember, this a personal opinion...if someone wants to keep it around for whatever reason...no problem.). I just returned from a 200 mile trip and loved the physical/mental association with the car...was acutely aware of it's aesthetic and performance properties... I think I'm in love!!!...Carl
