ok, just bought an '05 automatic roadster w/18k miles...don't have any experience with this model...do crossfires have any particular mechanical/design flaws-issues that would encourage me to buy aftermarket 60k warranty coveraqe for $1500+ ??

 

NO - and most of the aftermarket warranties are rip-offs.
You can handle 95% of everything yourself with a small investment in tools and the forum google search feature.

 

rip off for sure you start by being &1500 in the hole ! Maybe never ever spend that much in repairs ! Owned ours now going three years zero in repairs !!!! : )
