This guy claims that this Crossfire does 0-60 in 5 seconds...yeah right. Take a look at the auction here:

I bet you some gullible guy is going to actually look at that and think that this car (it's the base model) can actually do that!

 

Yea sure and I got some swamp land in Florida to sell you too.
Look at the carpet to the right of the gas pedal. That's a lot of wear for 5100 miles.
I guess the owner/executive must have had a big right foot.

 

It doesn't say 0-60 what. Maybe it's 60 ft/s or 60 km/hr in 5 seconds. That I could believe.

 

Do you really think that a person on ebay would even think at this level? It is almost an unwritted American code that whenever we see "0-60," we assume that it is in miles per hour.

 

Gee, I'm glad I don't try to sell stuff on Ebay, they must not be very smart for you to say that!!
They had on the news here today that a family was selling deceased grandpa's cane on Ebay, because the grandson was getting creeped out that Grandpa's ghost was there with the cane. They did it to make the kid feel better, and someone bought it for $65,000!

Why wouldn't someone believe that the Crossfire goes from 0-60 in 5 seconds??

 

I heard that they were actually selling the Grandpa's ghost. Why would they pay $65,000. for a little old cane? It would make more sense for it to be the ghost.

If you'd pay $65,000. for a ghost, that same person would believe that the Crossfire can go from 0-60 in a nano-second. Whatever that means to a ghost??

 

Right, the ghost was going to go with the cane. How else would you get a ghost to get out of one house into another, he's not getting the money!

 

If you took my post seriously, apparently you are on the same level as those EBay people.

 

Yeah I saw that ad also, there is also an ad for a set of 4 Xfire rims. I have sent this person 6 messages and he hasn't replied as of yet, supposed to be a Chrysler Dealer.

It could just be the pictures, but the edges of those wheels don't look very smooth. I would be afraid of them having a lot of curb rash without seeing better pictures.

 

Re the 0-60 comments, the European measurement is generally 0-100 kph. Roughly 62 mph

Sorry buddy, but it's kind of hard to diffentiate between talking seriously and talking with sarcasm when you are just reading words on a forum.

 

I remember seeing an EBay listing once for a used 04 Crossfire. The person was pushing it as better than new because it was 98% Mercedes, where the new ones are only 60% Mercedes. It does make you wonder if these people are stupid, or if they know they are lying. I guess the bigger problem is the buyer who doesn't know any better. EBay should add a feature where you can comment on peoples listings to point out when they are full of crap, but I guess that would hurt their business.

 

If isn't 90%+ mercedes what's the other 40% you're talking about ?Name one part other than Logos'.Even Mercedes Cars aren't 100% made by MB.
