can you review the dodge/chrysler stratus
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.
I owned one, thing was absolutely a beast. Downside, ignition issues.
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!
Huh? Mercedes did this about 15-20 years ago, not now.
True. What’s going on here?
I believe they made a merger deal in 1995 and it ended in 2007 when Mercedes sold their share to a middle man and then to fiat in 2012 where things took a turn for the worst.
Came here to say this...😂
Did you even watch the video? 😂
Duh, he said 20 years ago how many times?
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.
Awesome descriptor. Grub detected. 😂
I had one of these my Junior year and it was a fun car I bought it with an issue fixed it and it was super reliable zero issue drove smooth like a V12.
Not even changed oil?
I had a 2005 for the past 20 years
Hello. Me I ask about your hip? Why hip replacement make you sold crossfire?? I am waiting for new hip, I was hopping replacement will allows to drive easier????? Now old hip but no problem driving.
I had one, it was awesome. Had mine lowered with a custom exhaust. It was great. Manual of course. Had it up to 150.
you dumped it at the PERFECT time!
Mercedes didn't Buy Chrylser, they Merged and then split.
Yeah but in reality Mercedes bought Chrysler, they just couldn't say that so they called it a 'merger'
@@rebeltvr6046 that's not true, and technically it wasn't Mercedes it was Diamler. People like to have Opinions because Europeans have a certain reputation in regards to how they feel about American Automakers, but the Technicalty of it was a 100% merger. That's why when they split they both went their own way on their own. There's a couple good factual TH-cam videos on this you should check out.
@@jeffreyzabawski4862 smh. When I say Mercedes, obviously I mean Daimler-Benz. Back then, there was thought that Americans would backlash if they bought Chrysler, so they pretended it was a 'merger' to appease the Americans, but in reality, it was 100% a Daimler takeover of Chrysler.
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 😂
I’m so glad he liked the Crossfire!
I love them! I’ve owned 31 of them. Going to buy #32 tomorrow! ❤
32!?
Sell me one!
Why did you buy so many of them??????
This car will be very expensive in some years maybe he collect them
@@momolity617 no one will want some old rusty chrysler crossfire
Not 'JUST' was in 2004.. Stellantis still owns Chrysler and we all know you know that lol.
It’s not a ownership
Stellantis is a partnership of all companies and Chrysler is actually the biggest contributor to the group
Might as well be Mercedez Benz every other owner of Chrysler didn’t produce reliable cars haha
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!
Is it a good first car?
@DyvonTheKenny, Funny that you asked this question, this was my first ever car. I bought mine with a lot of problems, but even though the car had so many problems it was able to function really well. If I got one with no issues, it would’ve been completely perfect. It does not break easily.
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!
You got to sell me some of that stuff and would love to hear the borla exhaust did not know they offered that I currently own one and love it
@@mikeyploeger3387 Chrysler offered the Borla exhaust and said it made 20 more HP. It sounded great. Dealer installed. If you see one you can tell the exhaust tips are round and replace the rectangle ones that come with it. I also had the fins added on each side of them. I had those painted the OEM silver color of the rims. My CF was the dark slate color, Blk interior. Check EB AMZ etc maybe you can find the Borla exhaust.
@@MG-sj1em are you on the fb groups?
no i'm not@@mikeyploeger3387
I bought one 2006 Crossfire Roadster had it Delivered from Virginia 6500 when they drop it off I could not Believe what it look like it was in great condition 125000 miles drives great I have been offer 14000 still I drive it all the time not a speck of rust
I just want to say how great you are, Scotty!
He certainly is!
You just want a free can of seafoam don't you.
When Mercedes owned Chrysler, they gave Chrysler their old platforms to build cars
But Mercedes never owned Chrysler. It Technically was a Merger. Anything else is just opinions.
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!! ❤
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.
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 had the SRT version, I got more looks in that than my 2 door Lexus coupe. Literally drivers would honk on the highway and give me the thumbs up. You want more miles per gallon and sure reliability? By a civic....
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.
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.
Yep…. Lot of Mopars , can be Adjusted ………..Interestingly, I got to take overnight , as I was just Graduatng Purdue ( Pharmacy School) 1970 Spring), a 1970:(;GTS?, GS)DART /guages/ 4 Door/ Doubke Green(** ANYHOW : disc Brakes, HIGH SPEED Tires/ Shocks/340 HIGH PERF,Pursuit ((* what did that mean?)… ANYWAYS, great handling/Fast: not Buying due to Color & 4 DOOR(* and early Car* payments).. Also, seen 70SUPERBIRD (*a 440, auto??) on DOWNTON street, as to **long, & **Garish.. we got a 70 CORONET 500 ( shades of Superbird) in Aug 1970/383/ loaded….. Really, interesting, FORD **DEALERS would** not let Me , test drive or take home **BOSS302,etc Car:: no Insurance on Customer ,etc..Oddly,that refusals, kind of made us MOPAR/ Dodge Fans………..I was driving 1966 GALAXIE 500 XL/4 Speed/ BURG@NDY COLOR /IMPROVED,BUILT UP// 352///4 BBL THEN ((* kind of like JAY LENO’s 66 GALAXIE , he ordered in Special new))… & sort of FORD FAN
Yep, all the Crossfires have a top speed of 155 mph (limited).
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 ❤
Hi, can you tell us what the starting difficulty was? Thank you.
@@howitzer8946 Alarm system was draining battery. Removed fuze and cleared difficulty. Left fuse out for about a month and replaced it. No problem since. Not clear of reason!
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!
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.
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 have the exact problem. My 2004 headliner and fan sound. 🤣
My neighbor had a bright orange Carmen Ghia. Remember it looked pretty nice to me at the time, but never knew anything about them.
I love these cars these are beautiful and will age pretty well still a eye catcher and fast.
I had a 2002 Dodge Intrepid. It was a great car. I got 276k out of it.
I'm Sitting in the Only Chrysler You Should Buy: It's called a 94 Celica.....LOL Chrysler's Car they wished they would have produced in the 1990's
Chrysler Chrysalis
Love mine. Most problems are easy to fix on it.
There are no struts on the front of a crossfire. it has shock absorbers and a control arm assembly with coil springs.
I have a crossfire for 11 years but my problem is my Ford fusion titanium 2014 .crossfire is 2007 love it😊😊❤
I’ve had mine for years and I love it
There are no struts on those cars.
Top Gear tore this car apart relentlessly, and basically listed as 1 of the worst cars they experienced.
Hasn't Mercedes bought Chrysler 2 or 3 times now?
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.
@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.
Please let me know if you find maint vids on xfire, TXS
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 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.
That's really low mileage. 👍
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!
You must love Asia and countries with over a billion people?
India makes better and higher quality products than China ever can.
@@shoa3199they make crap
Chinese parts are crap....
Anything made by man is crap.
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
On my echo which was made in Japan, the coolant must reach exactly 137°F before lockup is allowed. Many others report the same in other Toyotas. I believe it's to minimize lugging a cold engine. Did you use OEM Toyota or denso sensors? Is there a coolant temp gauge?
It sounds like a bad thermostat. Some people try to run a 180 stat and it won't get warm enough. You need a 195.
Years ago I helped someone get a Corolla with 250k on it for cheap. It had 3 trans issues. A leak on the cooler line. A delayed overdrive engagement. And an intermittent speedometer error and not shifting out of second when the speedometer acted up. I fixed the leak, Soldered up the connections on the back of the speedometer and still had the overdrive issue along with a low coolant temp guage reading. I replaced the thermostat and a bad hose while it was apart. In the first 4 minutes of operation it always went into overdrive.
@@don2deliverhe already replaced the thermo still didn’t make difference
@@jessewynne8193 He could replace it seven more times with a 180 and still have the issue. And replace it with a 195 and Bingo.
Scotty conducts symphony orchestras in his off days!
He could do it, for sure!
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".
Go sit in one. It’s 100% if you’re leg vs torso. I’m like 5-8 barely fit because I’m more torso
I’m 6’2 and am comfortable with it. If you adjust the seat position you’ll be fine. I have the version with electrically adjusted seats. No problem. Easily done.
Ive always liked these,id never buy one
I just started looking into these a couple weeks ago
They do have control module issues, as long as they don't effect drivability or convertible top operations you should be good.
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
lmfao
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.
And there you have it was a rolling pile of junk!! I braced myself for this review! But this one not that bad!!
Ive always liked the crossfire but never knew how they were .... Thank You Scotty
UHHHMMMMMMM!!!!!! Scotty said "TRANNIE" !!! The wokesters are gonna have a FIT !!!!!
Motor looks like a Mercedes indeed
those cars are screamers
Now your recommending buying used Mercedes vehicles? lol There are a lot more things to break on that car than the tranny. The dude was smart getting rid of it with 125k miles.
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.
I really liked the way these looked when they came out.
Just try getting somebody to work on a Crossfire. Mercedes won’t touch them and neither will Chrysler.
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.
Jeremy Clark referred the back of this car as a dog taking a pooh.
Motor Not Engine!!! And There's No Such Thing As A Vehicle That is Old Or New!
Dude tell the truth about what your videos are about... "Just bought..." No.
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😂
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.
Agreed
American....ha...!...such a shame but to get a benz at such a deal....
I used to own this car and I loved it! I still miss it 💔
50k miles and the seat is worn-out. Bet it's 200k.
He bought it with 50k. Scotty said it now has 125k
I wish every car company had at least one reliable car like a Toyota Camry.
Look up "Toyota electric water pump." This is a trouble part. There's a beeper that needs a switch or volume control. We're talking about 2018+ Camrys. 2019+ ravs. On many new Toyotas including the Corolla, the heater bypass valve sticks
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.
That’s unfortunate because I can’t 100% guarantee because I wasn’t there but I can ALMOST guarantee it wasn’t the starter. And the supercharger issue was likely the IC pump
@@shamilton6328 Starter failures are quite rare on the Crossfires. Usually crank position sensor or RCM failures are the main culprits for starting issues.
@@SteTrax lol did you read what I said? I said I almost guarantee it wasn’t the starter.
It's a Mercedes and a Chrysler ... electrical problems for days, and no parts. 😅
I wish I'd seen this TRUTH before I posted similar.
Seemed to recall a goofy set up with different sized front and rear wheels you couldn't rotate, and thought it didn’t even have provision for front camber caster💩Fartsburgnuegen IMO💩
My opinion, both cars look disgusting.
No don't buy one. Body parts are very hard to get for one...
Rubbish audio - up and down, but mostly way too down
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,
😂😂
We have this issue in the UK. Some Mercedes dealers don't even recognise that the car is basically an SLK320 with a different body style. Most regular mechanics don't mind working on them, and many of the problems are solveable as long as you can source replacement parts at a reasonable price.
Scotty America has 335,000,000. Germany 83,000,000. We should buy a bummer of a Chrysler, that resemble a Mercedes, that resembles a piece of crap Carman Ghia, you couldn't give those away when they came to North America, so now were supposed to be impressed with them. NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS. Truth is, Mercedes is way over priced, and Every Part is Insanely High Priced, that Chrysler is also crappy, try and get parts now that Chrysler is Folding for the fourth time, Oh and Chryslers Parts are Pricey too, and like I said Carmen Ghia is German ( my Mother's side are Bavarian) and it means "Hunk of Crap". Seriously, Americans need to take stock at how the American Banking World is controlling the Country and Countries 1/4 as large as America, and they're telling America how to build crappy cars, like they do??? Give me a break. It's amazing how the Federal Government of America, spends Trillions ( with a T ) on Army, Navy, Airforce, myriad of machinery to TOP RATE specifications, in case they might need it, the Service folks are paid, pensions, dental, medical benefits, and that's ALL good, glad they have all that, BUT would it be too much to ask the Trillion Dollar spending Federal Government to Actually supervise the building of very GOOD Cars and Trucks, ( like they already do!) that would last!!! for ALL the little people in America who are paying ALL the Taxes for everything !!!
*Karmann Ghia
@@coolbreezeNYC1 Thank You!, Krappy Ghia, that car did not do anything at all, well! Not one redeeming quality.
Clunking when on the gas stops when I let go between 2-3 gear I was doing burn outs any help ?
You aren't supposed to do burnouts in a car. Treat it with respect and it will be a great car for you.
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
If this car was made today they'd never come in v6. Four cylinder turbocharged is just overrated in today's market🤦♂️
NA engines + manual are literally dying..
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 ?
Try Ritalin. Over the top
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 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.
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
Unless I missed something, I don't think you covered how "Mercedes just bought Chrysler..."
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
Don't give your money to any manufacturer that don't "prioritize" reliability in their products.
That's probaby about 98 percent of car manufacturers then. 😁
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
It’s stated around 2000 …. Pretty sure … 👍 but I can see they are trying to kill dodge . The brand
Scotty, dude your time machine settings are way off…that’s a 20 year old car in the pic .
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 got to tell you Scotty I'm kind of back on your team after seeing this video but yeah that TC was a piece of crap that was a turd with wheels
Chrysler did a similar thing with the Sebring and the Dodge avenger. Same car just different badges.
You do realize virgina and Texas both have coastlines with salt right ? Lol 😂
Remember playstation game grand tourismo the prototype car was the crossfire that ripped all the cars 😂
Did anyone know ..Scotty is a conductor in a orchestra.... But he can't ever find his wand😂
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
Once you hear they look like a dog pooping you can't unsee it.😅.
Jeremy Clarkson said that the rear end of the Chrysler Crossfire looks like a dog parking it's breakfast. I have to say I can see what he means.
JC wasn't happy because he himself looked like a dog parking it's breakfast when sat in the driver's seat (due to his large frame).
Very junky cars!
When Daimler owned Chrysler, they were improving. Towards the end of the DaimlerChrysler era, they were budget cutting Chrysler, due to the fact that their car weren't bringing new buyers in, as the previous buyers would buy a car, and then they wouldn't come back to buy another, as they were either far too reliable, or far too UNreliable. That is the history of Chrysler; you never know what you're going to get, but under Daimler, they were more reliable. You're thinking of Fiat Chrysler, and Chrysler after the sale by Daimler AG. Chrysler wasn't bad then, but they are now, as they are owned by Stellantis, which, obviously, was formed by the "merger" between Fiat Chrysler and PSA Group.
@@DuisteinAffe-qo4ie Yet Chrysler still managed to go out of business, they’ve been terrible for decades. Both under themselves, Daimler, Fiat & Stellantis.
Very true! Although, Daimler almost going out of business with Chrysler was due to Daimler spending far too much on Chrysler, which had, as you obviously know, had been ruined by poor management for decades. The last time it was good was under Iacocca
