Hey, My name is Jay. I go under the username "xfirewhiteghost" I'll get a pic of my 2004 Crossfire 3.2/ 6 cyl. up soon. I've had it for about 4-mths. and have had a few technical problems whereas even my mechanic was frustrated and told me to find a forum where I find small but essential parts for my baby. I'm trying to love her (xfire) but it's difficult because every time I turn around she needs some part I can't find. So, first question is where do I find the parts for this car?

 

Mostly Ebay unless you find interchangable Mercedes parts.

And welcome to the family.

 

MANY parts are easy to find, if you search "Mercedes 2003 SLK320". Of course, body and interior parts are rare, but any engine/drive train/chassis parts are almost all interchangeable with the SLK320.

 

Where are you taking it? In tampa ,Leadbetters Mercedes service on US301 is the only people I'll let touch my Crossfire for mechanical. In business for over 30 years at the same location. For top work I used Sunbrite tops on West Crest by the stadium. Again in business 30 years at the same location. NOT the cheapest...but the best.
I live in Tampa and own a Crossfire. If you have any questions or if I can help just let me know.

 

Listen to this guy.

 

Okay! I will and thanks. If you have any recommendations for parts in the areaand/or online please let me know. Thanks again.
