Hey guys.
I am exploring the option of buying a yellow 2005 Crossfire Roadster.
Automatic gear, 78000 KM
A few observations:

- Softtop can only be operated manually
- Rear spoiler doesn't lift
- Headlights are a bit blurry
- car has some minor butts - considering paint job
- rims are painted black- considering buying (original) rims

Asking 5500 USD........

any hints, tips or other comments?

Thanks,
Tom

 

How easy is it to get Mercedes spares in your area?
Looks like a lot of potentially expensive problems, how much for the bodywork.
Say a possible $800 to $1,000 for the top. Is it worth it and how much would it be worth if it was fixed? Is the interior OK?

 

- Mercedes parts are relatively easy to get.
- I estimated the paint job at 2000 USD
- Interior is in good condition

Is it worth it? I don't know...
Not sure what the market value is elsewhere.
Here in Qatar there are only 2 Crossfires registered, which makes it hard to estimate a realistic value.

Had the car inspected today.
Although it needs some work..... it seems to be in a good condition
final price: 4400 USD

 

I would think it's probably a good buy at $4400, considering there are only 2 in the country !
