Pizzaguy said it very clearly... do your searching on this Forum and you will be able to make a great purchase. It seems that most folks here take exceptional care of the XFs and extend themselves in many ways to help newbies come on board.

Be patient, have fun and be ready to travel! :-)

Yes Crossfires are crap. Get an SLK 320 instead.

Honestly you'll find yourself more comfortable in the SLK 320, but will want to drive the Crossfire because it looks better. The Crossfire handles better too.

Now if you compared it to the SLK 350 the 350 wins on all categories

If some one hates Crossfires so much.......
How can he like SLK's as they are effective an Ugly Xfire that doesnt handle so well ???
And
If he hates them, why's he here at all ?????? , its like stopping in at a Jewish Wedding with a tray of bacon sandwiches and being surprised when some one punches you for being offensive to their culture.....

Mister, if you've got nothing good or interesting to say..... Clear off, and polute another site instead.
We are here cos we like these machines :-)

Have a great day you guys in your XF's

Hang around for awhile. You'll start to get my sarcasm. Which is why I had one of these in my original posts :roll eyes:


BTW I dress up like Jesus when I go to a Jewish wedding.

Yeppers.. I'm learning.. salesman actually convinced him that the MB was an upgrade from the crossfire!

I'm going to PM him or direct email when I can find where I stashed that deed to the Golden Gate Bridge...

Ok, so, HOW OLD ARE YOU?

I"m 52 and I know enough to know that I'm not old enough to know who he is.




(And I'm sticking with that story)

Is this a good thread to mention that my Roadster is throwing code P0400 starting this morning?

Put some SeaFoam in it and will give it a few days... if it keeps up, I'll be looking over the EGR system this weekend.

(Page 5650 of the service manual says "If your car throws code P0400, your car is crap)
