    Greetings from germany. I bought my Crossfire new 15 years ago and drove it 125.000 miles till now. I´m still very happy with this great car.

      Is it a car with many problems, and is it suitable for a person whose height is 180 cm?

      @@azizaladwani000 Mine is very reliable. Very minor problems, I only changed a crankshaft sensor and a blower motor, not much more on 130.000 miles till now. I´m 178 cm, it´s perfect for me so surely no problem with 180 cm.

      In this car it's shared 80% of its parts with the r170 generation of the Mercedes SLK its first generation with the 250 horsepower V6 engine so under the hood of this car is the 3.2 l V6 engine however unlike the SLK320 and this car has the m112 3.2 l V6 from Mercedes and it makes 250 horsepower

    The car was designed by Chrysler and built under contract by Karmann because neither Mercedes or Chrysler had the spare production capacity at the time. These cars were mostly assembled by hand which was what made them so expensive and ultimately led to it being discontinued after only 5 years.

      I just wish most of all that they made the S-R/T-6 package manual only. I know it’s a luxury grand tourer, not a true “sports” car, but it’s still a driver’s car, regardless, and the words “roadster” and “automatic” don’t belong in the same sentence. I felt the same way about the Cadillac XLR and the last Ford Thunderbird.

    I want to buy one and good news for me, no recent comments here, yes haha LOL.
    Thank you dear Bill, for the video, highly appreciated. Although, I got a bit nauseous watching it.
    Next video, keeping both hands where they should be will surely help a lot, no offense LOL.
    And yes, the issue with rear view and backing is noticed.
    Already searching Amazon for rear few camara systems, should only take a few bucks.
    Having said that, also find 4 pieces of blind spot stick on mirrors for $5.99 and thus ridiculed and hopefully silenced all design critics. Clueless they are, would Yoda say.
    Dislike the materials used in the interior ? Also found on Amazon, Chrysler Crossfire Wood Dash Kit trim $199,99 order now, delivered tomorrow with Prime LOL
    Why waist your hard earnest paycheck on a Pagani, no trim kits on Amazon, like seriously?
    Besides rumor has it that its owner manual starts with "Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate" LOL
    The next time you hear from me, I will have pictures !!!!!!

    I always loved this car except for that mid-2000s Chrysler corporate fascia. With such a gorgeous retro-sleek body design, they went and stuck the same face on it as the Chrysler 200 sedan and the Town and Country minivan. It's not horrible, but it detracts from the otherwise smooth flowing lines. And since it's a two-seater coupe, sorry Canadians! You're walking home today.

  • @johnm4461
    @johnm4461 Рік тому

    I have a 2008 low miles convertible version. It is the aero blue color with white and grey interior. Even after all these years, I rarely make it through a gas station fill-up without someone complimenting or asking about it. Although most just want to know what it is.

    Fortunately, I have not needed any sheet metal parts. All the other parts are easy to find from any Mercedes parts outlet. Just punch in 2004 Mercedes SLK320 as the vehicle and you'll get the exact parts needed for the Crossfire.
    The supercharged SRT version is supposedly more collectable, but most of them have been beat to death on racetracks and parts are going to be harder to get.
