Default NEWBIE looking to buy a crossfire

hi all,
im toying with the idea of purchasing a crossfire. I think that they are a bit like "marmite" however i love the look of them. My question is are there any common faults i should be looking for? I just seen on the american website of talks about the car stalling at high speeds which is worrying
any advice would be appreciated

news to me as well, tried and trusted mercedes oily bits, got their little niggles like any other car but nothing that cant be fixed especially with all the help on this forum and the mercedes forum, only possible downside is they are written off by insurance companies fairly easily due to the cost and availiability of body panels, but they are a great car for the money especially the srt, just go for it and enjoy...where are you based by the way...chris

Ask him if you can see the estimate for the damage or the invoice for the repairs. That's one way of seeing damage after its been repaired. If I can help, pm me.

Cheers
Jon
