USED CAR - DID I BUY A LEMON? *CROSSFIRE* 

Lemon talk or no?

Let me see if I've got this right: you needed to replace a few blinker bulbs actually only replace one and remove a couple of dead ones. You put some tape on the back of the door pulls, and fiddled with your cup holder...you forgot to check to see the condition of the rear tires and eventually are going to have to buy some new tires for a used car. You bought a Mercedes with alternative sheet metal on it 4 less than three thousand pounds. This is NOT a lemon...it sounds like bargain ... get a piece of plastic from the wrecking yard and make a patch for your inner fender well before the weather gets bad this year. Remember if the ladies don't find you handsome they should find you handy --so you should think about working on your mechanical skills.😁

Depending on the mileage , keep in mind the crankshaft and camshaft sensors will need to be changed out . No big deal and you can change them both out yourself .

To be far.......that is not what I would call a lemon.

Small easily resolved issues for what appears to be a very nice little automobile. The 12 spark plugs are somewhat of a menace to change and the crankshaft /camshaft sensor locations are a "bugger" to access. Do keep a "weather eye" on the under door sills for possible rust. Watch out for the cup holder should your car be equipped with a manual transmission and stay away from that flimsy ash tray, which on some occasions can become a projectile. Next to the battery there is a plastic box that houses the infamous printed circuit relay control module containing three little soldered wiring connections, which may require re soldering. I have a mint 2008 Roadster (garage ornament) with barely 38,000 miles on the odometer. Excellent tires are somewhat difficult to locate given the different sizes for the front and rear, but I simply love the beast even though there is no room for overnight luggage and little room to breathe when I'm out and about driving. Hope you continue to remain "chuffed" with your very smart purchase....."cheerio".

One of my fav cars

I have a srt6 and is a amazing car it will surprise a corvette at the light and its a easy 450hp car

As soon as he started talking... I was like nope!! Done watching this video.

I have electrical problems such as seats and front lights, but not a big deal. I love it

Guys buys a 15 year old USED vehicle and is surprised he has to fix some minor issues!!!

Doesn’t look like a 🍋 I like it ✅

yes you got a lemon well the wheel is on the wrong side to start

Saw one for sale. 3500$ USD and the spoiler is out all the time. I figure it’s okay for the spoiler to be broken because the car still drives and it’s not worth replacing. I think the Mercedes parts will be hard to replace if the Dodge dealer can’t find get them.

Good choice, exact same colour as mine (the one featured on CarThrottle). I had exactly the same issue with the indicator pod, one of the connectors had gone so I put a new one in then braced it with a piece of gravel (no joke).

Mine was a nightmare. I needed a headlight replacement due to internal corrosion. Chrysler didn't have any new ones. I had to search the country for a USED one from a junkyard. Cost $600. The rear center break light had an intermittent problem, which caused it to flunk inspection. Again, parts were a nightmare to find. I liked the car but not for the amount of hassle.

Well, if he still owns the car after 2 years of no posts about it.... I would call that a win! Of course, maybe he finally put a cubby for the cup holder or totalled it by not getting new tires he couldn't afford.

Had a convertible from nr new, not a prob. at all, PX it after 8 yrs only regret I had was I had Manuel heavy clutch , awful, IF Id got Auto, think Id still have it.

Liked your video and your excitement over such a cool car

You didn't notice that the passenger door is a different color than the rest of the car?

I've been seriously tempted by a Crossfire for a while. Just worried about buying a lemon! Probably looking at an 05 manual. And I feel like getting a roadster. I'm in the north too, so will be interested to follow your Crossfire experience.

most common problem is the ignition key switch "sticky key switch"

Shuld i buy it in 2022 ? I am interested in this but seems it's hard to maintain

Beauty mate , thinking to get one in australia.

Basically, there was nothing wrong with the car at all. The only thing wrong with it was the whinging, lack of practical knowledge, driver. Stick to Fords mate, they suit you. II'm fed up with people downing this car. It's a gem. A cult has arisen that duly complains about this car, both here and in the States. Don't buy it and leave it for proper enthusiasts.

seat relay goes alot of stupid things but mechanically its a good car

You talked about lightbulbs for almost 10 minutes dude. If you knowledge about cars is poo, why make car videos. :/

Sick car

That’s not a cup holder it’s to hold your cell phone, set your phone in it and it will stay down

Should have done your homework and understood what you were buying, These are wonderful cars.

I think they are real lookers. Very underrated. Whats insurance like??

Thanks for this...but what happened to the other videos you were going to do about the car. Was the car that disappointing or expensive to keep up that you just dumped it??

Nice Reg, now on a Grey 2017 BMW 1 Series. So you didn’t keep the Crossfire! 👎🏻

I got one 250k and still runs like a dream hardly a lemon, on top of that its a Mercedes

Have ya had any issue with yer power seats mate? I live in the US, and I got one like this for $3000 USD. It's a real head turner for the money. I'm 65 so I bust the fuck out of me head when I get in or out. I love to drive mine. Is yours a real rough ride?

O.k, you dont want to maintain a car. Cheap price. They are nice looking.

There there plenty of parts about?

Great car , I have a 2006 Coupe , all it has cost me is 2 front tyres in two years of owning it , a bargain

What a disgrace that this car was made automatic. It deserves to be pure manual.

155K on mine Love it!

its basically a mercedes, for sure not a lemon

Corrosion happens to nearly all cars.

way back home

Beauty

That things a peach not a lemon.. it's a used car, gonna have a few small issues..

You Brits are so funny, you made wonderful cars at one time and then British Laylend. Now you criticize an American and German car cooperation. Give me a break, I have one, 16 years old now and only needs maintenance upgrades. Great engineering.

Noo

The Driver is a Lemon

Thank you for doing that wonderful review on the Christ of course fire I'm a big chrysopras fire fan I only by Christ the products my whole life I would accomplish eveleighs what I'm a Chrysler man in this States is call Moe Parr I look forward to hearing your opinion on the under the hood maintenance I understand summer shady's men's V6 so look forward to hearing your opinion on that thanks you did a wonderful job

Really??! Talk about moaning over minor things lol 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

Mate you bought it for like £4000. Stop complaining.

The only mistake you made was buying a rebadged Mercedes.

You didn’t show trunk of car. Wasted time watching. Need to show all of features.
