What a tale. Good luck in getting your car fixed.

At this point a new engine would be in order.

 

time to trade it

 

Nope keeping it just bought it and traded my new benz. going to get a warranty and keep it a few years olther then the tick it ran perfect

 

Traded your new Benz??? I hate to say this but you must have taken a bath on this trade.

 

Not bad at alll, I have had 54 cars in the last eight years.....I guess it a passion just sold a 06 civicEX with navi, 08 lancer GTS, and a few more

 

Did you like the 2008 Mitsu Lancer GTS ?

 

yes it had all the options and all the toys....but the best way to describe it is Generic......there was not enough to love about the whole car.......and the MPG is the same as the crossfire and love the body andcolor of the crossfire.

 

Good gosh...I am awed. I thought I went thru cars, but you put me to shame.

 

what kind of work do you do, that it affords you 54 cars in 8 years, that's about 6-7 cars a year.

 

Market and flip homes..... most of my cars on the net are under cybergypsy

 

Well went to visit my car today, they are still waiting to find the cause the chrysler engineer was waiting for the cause.

 

54 cars in eight years. Hmmm, counting the two clunkers I had in high school and the Crossfire, I have owned a total of seven cars in 32 years.

 

Surgical pictures can be so depressing.

 

Got the call a minute ago, putting a new Engine in her, they found some scarring in the engine,so they are taking it out and having a New one shipped from Milwaukee, still going to be about 10 more days but nice to know they are replacing it...If you hear a tick take her in... I am so glad that I did not wait...so now i am waiting to get her back...

 

That's pretty awsome news!!

 

I sense the mechanics are too dumb to figure it out and went the easy way. Drop in another motor, Chrysler Mechs are lame ducks!
What parts where scarred? any info??

 

A new engine is great news. Way to hang in there and force the issue. And, thanks to Chrysler for doing the right thing.

Now just get the new engine installed and everything back together (correctly) and there will be a happy ending to your venture.

 

I have to say both dealers have been awesome, Volvo were i bought it has been amazing giving me 4 new tires a batt, new cables and a new volvo to drive ANYTIME my
car is in the shop...this is the policy!!!

And Dodge has been great the call me every few days and let me know whats going on...and the fact the have a full time crossfire tech on all the time... The only fact i know is the found scarring in the engine Chrysler engineers have been there for days, n indo they wanted to but all insides in here, but told them to get a new engine...now i will have a 45k/0k miles car...lol.

Now i will watch her close for leaking or ??? I wonder if the engine will come with a additional warranty???

Funny I thoght about picking one of those 08's Tod was talking about but really love this little car...

 

My father was a collecter and the bug bit me young. My son 24 has owned about 15 so far...I am not your average Mom.

 

Great news CG!
