I remember back then… I was a poor student in my father’s FIAT Punto… I loved the design of this Crossfire. It was a beautiful car back then and it still is.

I cant get arround to sell mine..every spring same thing, i pull the car cover , go for a drive and fell in love again...and its a manual!

Had a 2004 for 11 years. Loved to drive it when I could. It was the wife's car. Never did a thing to it. As Scotty says you will feel the road. I described as you could feel the spine of a caterpillar if you drove over one. Sold it after the hip replacements.

i have the 05 roadster ,15,000 miles,paid $12,000 couple years ago,fun to drop the top and cruise around Huntsville in it.

got one of these a few years back with 54,000 miles for 7,000 dollars! easily one of my favorite cars now. thanks for reviewing scotty!

Scotty, I bought one of these new 2006. That one you have is a base model, I had the up-model. It's an SLK320 with a Crossfire body. I also had a 2006 SLK320. It's all the same engine and trans. Also has MBZ logos. The Crossfire had 2 different wheel sizes front back. Better suspension, better dash but very similar. It was a much better looking car and had custom luggage that was made for it with Crossfire wheels and the top of the luggage looked like the hood of the car. Best luggage ever! I still use it and still have a brand new set. Chrysler offered a few options I had all. Lighted door sills, cargo cover, Borla exhaust (very cool) and turn signal outside mirrors. I still have some new parts and the window sticker. Sadly in 2008 my neighbor smashed into it backing out of his driveway got the door, fender and hood and headlight. It was totaled. Best thing that ever came out of the Daimler/Chrysler deal. Thanks for the video!

I had one, it was awesome. Had mine lowered with a custom exhaust. It was great. Manual of course. Had it up to 150.

I still have my 2004 and I still love it. Only issue with 100k is the headliner fell down and the heater fan now makes some noise.

I’m so glad he liked the Crossfire! I love them! I’ve owned 31 of them. Going to buy #32 tomorrow! ❤

Thanks for the Crossfire review I appreciate it as I have a 2005 Roadster with 58000 miles. Used to have starting difficulty but all resolved ❤

Huh? Mercedes did this about 15-20 years ago, not now.

I just want to say how great you are, Scotty!

I had a Jeep Grand Cherokee made by Daimler Chrysler in Austria. It had a MB 3 litre diesel and MB 5 speed auto trans. A great vehicle!

Mr. Kilmer I have inherited a 97 Toyota T100 SR5 from a dear friend who passed away from 4 stage cancer. The truck is a one time owner who kept it up. However, it sat for some time 8 months to a year. The truck has 230k plus miles automatic 1/2 ton. The only issue so far is it will shift into overdrive after it sits from start up for 1/2 hour then driven for about 45min. to an hour. When it shifts its smooth no jerking or slipping etc.. Now if I drive it in the summer weather it will shift sooner as long as i drive it at least once a day and have it shift it will start to shift in half the time or a little less. I thought it may need to be driven for awhile everyday to loosen up anything that may have the gears gummed up and driving it will help break it all out and loosen the gears up. So before I did that I went ahead and replaced the gasket, solenoids and fluid. I also did a transmission coolant flush. The fluid looked great when I changed the fluid not dirty just real clear. I didn't expect that. After all that it won't change. Now I use the OBD on it there are no codes pending or existing. the trans. temp is at 182. So i start checking all the plugs and wiring to the sensors and to the ECM. I did not find any issues with the wiring. So I went ahead and replaced the O2 sensors upper and lower. The Mass air flow sensor. The transmission temp sensor. The drive shaft Position sensor. The thermostat. All new custom exhaust. I do all my own work with all new Toyota parts. I do all my welds etc.. I have all new brakes, rotors, calipers, shocks, plugs and coils. I installed a complete new ac system and piping. i installed a new radiator, alternator water pump with all new gaskets. I cleaned the throttle body I flushed the motor out twice once with a kerosene followed with diesel with an oil engine cleaner and 5 quarts of 5w30 ran it for a week drained it all out put new filter and fluids back in. I put a new air filter system in it. All seals are good no leaks of any kind. No engine check lights, it would run like a champ if it only shifted. No codes on the OBDII, but still won't shift into overdrive until it's been running for 45 min everyday and in the summer. When it's colder out it can take longer, which says to me it's a temperature or electrical issue but I haven't found it. I reset the modules and ECM. Maybe I have a bad ECM. I have asked and taken it to a few people locally and they say it needs a new transmission but I'm not sure. I tried googling it I found some people have had similar problems but were able to get them fixed I replaced what was causing there issues. I did come across one person who had the same issue. he went through the exact thing i did replacing everything possible. Then on an unrelated issue he had to deal with something up under the steering wheel. So he said he was moving wires around to get to the problem took care of it. When he went to work the truck after 2 years shifted right away and said it's been shifting since over a year ago. the only difference between his and mine is mine shifted after awhile his didn't at all. If you read this and have any idea, I would so much be indebted to you. No matter what, thank you for the years of knowledge and entertainment you have shared with us God bless you and your family Jeff Cooper

01:04 jeezes! Some people have no love for (old) cars. If you see your seat cover is dissipating, give it to a saddler / an upholsterer before THIS happens.

The least rusty and even the least aged cars I've ever seen are those that lived their whole lives on the northern Pacific coast. It rains there so much, even cars parked outside get a lot of pure, fresh-water washing. Plus, the lack of direct sunlight prevents the aging of paint, headlights, etc. But you do have to watch our for mold and fungus.

There are no struts on the front of a crossfire. it has shock absorbers and a control arm assembly with coil springs.

I was told by a reliable source that the Crossfire SRT I used to service was once clocked on the PA Turnpike doing 153 mph but was written up as 99 mph so the first responder driving it wouldn't immediately lose their license.

@scoty kilmore, you should do more maintenance videos on the crossfire, I have a crossfire and would really appreciate it if there is videos on this car, for maintenance, suspension, and overall care.

Bought one 4 years ago, had some issues with the central locking unit and some gaskets. But only paid 8k and zero rust. Still a blast to drive and turns heads

My neighbor had a bright orange Carmen Ghia. Remember it looked pretty nice to me at the time, but never knew anything about them.

Loved my ‘03 Crossfire Roadster. Put 100K, mostly hiway miles, with the top down in Houston. Two major headaches: 1). No spare tire! They give you what amounted to a can of Inflate-a-flat. 2). The rear wheels were 19”. Tires lasted about 20 thousand miles @ about $800 each! At 100K miles, the car was mechanically superior. Eventually, the “peripheral” stuff started literally falling off the car. Stuff like rear trim…interior trim too.

Hey Scotty my mother's 2021 Mercedes GLB 250 has a horn that randomly goes off while driving. Took it to the dealership and they said nothing was wrong. Usually happens on bumpy roads or sharp turns. Thank goodness she leased it

I have 2006 Crossfire convertible. I put 19s & 20s on it & lifted in the back. I haven't drive in 8 months bc no one in Duval knows how to work on it. Love seeing these car's.

Ive always liked the crossfire but never knew how they were .... Thank You Scotty

The new 2024 Mercedes AMG GT Coup Looks a lot like the Chrysler Crossfire, Plus and minus certain things. However, the whole body mold Looks very familiar. Just saying.

I have a crossfire for 11 years but my problem is my Ford fusion titanium 2014 .crossfire is 2007 love it😊😊❤

I have a 1999 Slk230 with 110,000 miles on it. The top and all work great! It’s easy to work on and some of the crossfire parts fit (cheaper). I’ve got a few videos and shorts on my channel of it and of me swapping the water pump out. I changed the motor mounts out but didn’t film it. Should’ve.

These things rule my company had one at a control center down near the mouth of the Mississippi near Venice Louisiana. I always made sure to hose it off to keep it from rotting, salty area but I never noticed it falling apart

I really liked the way these looked when they came out.

Not 'JUST' was in 2004.. Stellantis still owns Chrysler and we all know you know that lol.

Scotty conducts symphony orchestras in his off days!

I had an 05 Crossfire SRT6. It was fun but the tires will hurt your bank account. Starter went out and supercharger quit working. All the wheels got bent because of their low profile. Sold it for $8,000 and it had around 65k miles…that was back in 2018 I believe.

I have a 2004 silver crossfire. Bought it for 8k. 😅 its bucking and misfiring.😢 trying to folliw Scotty's advice. I wont sell her i love her. LoL 😂❤ i love this car! Thanks for your help Scotty!! ❤

I just started looking into these a couple weeks ago

Love mine. Most problems are easy to fix on it.

Mercedes didn't Buy Chrylser, they Merged and then split.

I love these cars these are beautiful and will age pretty well still a eye catcher and fast.

Crossfire's have been pretty reliable in my life I have a super low mileage srt6 and a crossfires daily driver that I put 250k miles on. And I'm going to be completely honest I didn't maintain that car worth a crap 😂

One thing I like about older American cars , is they typically have inboard rectangular box sections you can safely put a 2×4 on floor jack to raise the side of a car unlike most plastic clad Euro turd flat bottom beer cans you'll bust plastic and loose a couple inches of head room if you don’t jack under pinch weld area of rockers which tend to rot in Midwest😂

Good afternoon sir! Thanks for the videos! I remember these.

A rear wheel bearing on my 2018 Nissan Versa started making noise at around 40,000 miles. I changed it myself for $40. The original bearing was marked "made in India" so I replaced it with one made in China!

I used to own this car and I loved it! I still miss it 💔

I’ve had mine for years and I love it

Scotty mentioned again that regular engine will last more than turbo charged engines. Imagine when its paired with manual transmission. It will last for so long.

I had a 2002 Dodge Intrepid. It was a great car. I got 276k out of it.

When Mercedes owned Chrysler, they gave Chrysler their old platforms to build cars

Your videos are always good keep making them Scotty

I'd use it as a Beater.. only because it is a Standard Trans... Lol I always liked the look of them back in the day... Nice to know it has some decent guts to it...

Chrysler did a similar thing with the Sebring and the Dodge avenger. Same car just different badges.

These cars don't have struts - shocks on all 4 corners. The Clunk might be a broken spring on the front end, they are known for it

I wish every car company had at least one reliable car like a Toyota Camry.

I was thinking about getting the Crossfire SRT6, but I was too tall for the car car. I'm 6' 2" and you need to be under 5' 11".

I love Mercedes cruise control stalks. Very intuitive. Up = Set/Accel, Down= Set/Decel, Pull toward you=resume, push away from you=off.

i had 140k miles on mine they aged well with the m112 platform

There are no struts on those cars.

I always thought of these vehicles as an updated AMC Marlin with modern styling, suspension and drivetrain.

I love mine. Great post Scotty !!!

Top Gear tore this car apart relentlessly, and basically listed as 1 of the worst cars they experienced.

A friend had one that had electrical problems. Took it to the Chrysler dealer and they wouldn't work on it saying it was really a Mercedes. Took it to the Mercedes dealer and they wouldn't work on it saying it was a Chrysler,

Sorry to tell you but the gas mileage is 15 around town and 22 Highway Not that 30 that you claim... i would take the 10k and buy something better

I owned one, thing was absolutely a beast. Downside, ignition issues.

Dealership didn't know AMG built the SRT6.. i got it for $11,000, put in $3500 for FBOs & it ran 11's all day on street tires!👍👍

SCOTTY ... SEEING a couple in the MIA area for $5,000, one is a stick CLIST NOT a bad deal for that kind of $$

I think I've seen maybe two or three of these over the years. They just didn't sell that well. Either people loved the looks of them or they hated it.

I bought a Crossfire SRT convertible new and it fell apart after a few years....what a piece of junk. Chrysler dealers will not work on them.

Don't give your money to any manufacturer that don't "prioritize" reliability in their products.

Hello Scotty. Would love to know your thoughts on the Toyota Supra. I know it’s like the crossfire where Toyota and bmw did a collabo. Which the Supra is basically a bmw. Thinking in buying one so would like to know your thoughts. Thank you

My brother had a Crossfire. He loved it and it was a fun car. Then he stopped in a puddle that was a little too deep and it’s waiting away in the drivway

SCOTTY ... PRIUS major parts are CHEAP because there are thousands of them that have good parts in the junkyard. Most Prius repair shops have tons of good engines, trannys, generators, inverters, batteries VERY CHEAP

Clunking when on the gas stops when I let go between 2-3 gear I was doing burn outs any help ?

How about Chrysler Sebring?

2001 s600 v12 , needs help. Ever heard of first 4 starts the car response is very slow. 5th start acts like a race car. What causes that? Thank you

Hasn't Mercedes bought Chrysler 2 or 3 times now?

The Chrysler 300 was by far the best car Chrysler made in the last 20 years, but I say the Crossfire is easily second place.

Scotty, you know we love you here in Pennsylvania. I share all these videos with my thousands of followers. We love you brother.

How can I email you Mr. Scotty Kilmer? I have a Mercedes 2017 C300 past few weeks when I’m driving it say “Service required do not shift gears visit dealer” stops with me couple time what the problem of the car please. Anybody ?

I like to drink the shots of whiskey and roll up the Numbers and get all schmoked up while watching the Scotty Kilmers videos

The biggest problems with the Crossfire's was valve body failures with the automatics.I have fixed a couple of them in the past!This car is where the 07 Sebring front end design come from.

Just try getting somebody to work on a Crossfire. Mercedes won’t touch them and neither will Chrysler.

I love my old SLK

Did anyone know ..Scotty is a conductor in a orchestra.... But he can't ever find his wand😂

Awesome content.

I have the SRT 6 suoer charged version. Awesome car. I have had minimum problems. Its a sleeper with 340 HP and a rare car. Always turns heads.

That was a nice vehicle

It’s stated around 2000 …. Pretty sure … 👍 but I can see they are trying to kill dodge . The brand

That was nearly 20 years ago, Scott.

Jeremy Clark referred the back of this car as a dog taking a pooh.

Does a manual transmission with 125k miles need a fluid change if it still shifts fine?

Scotty what do you think about the new dodge hornet?

I love my Crossfire 👍😎 Super fun and Economical

Speaking of a Stellantis vehicle; what are your thoughts on the current Alfa Romeo lineup?

someone stated an 86.00 % increase in price. 86,000$ became = 1,000$ markup then sales tax,shipping,costs depending on where you shop could be higher playing with guestamate. out the door pushed over 100,000 plus. you’d pay ehh 160,000 for one ton today ordered. if bought used or on the lot. nuts.

I like watching videos by Scotty Kilmer :)

Unless I missed something, I don't think you covered how "Mercedes just bought Chrysler..."

Try Ritalin. Over the top

ok that actually looks beautiful

I have a 2004 . Bought it new and still runs as good as the day o Bought it

Again, I don't know what this guy has against cars made in Mexico, the Mexicans are great hard working people, I have no issues buying a car made in Mexico.
