Great third car for our household, we use it for joy riding.
I like the design best and I like the convertible top down while driving...fun!!!

2005 Chrysler crossfire issues.
My back window came unglued and the paint has faded on the drivers side door and back bumper, there is nothing to indicate that the battery is low or not strong enough, a low battery affects the locks, convertible top, the spoiler and blinking lights on the panel.

Slk 320 at a bargain price
It's hard to get service, but I've only had minor issues at 160K Miles. Id does 1G on the skidpad, but slow down for railroad tracks!

SLK 320 Mercedes in Chrysler sheet metal.Leather seats are superb. Only minor issues at 160K Miles. It is difficult to get service.

Great performing sports car that's fun and reliable
I bought my 2005 Crossfire convertible in 2007. Tires and oil changes only, a couple of ext light bulbs, and that's all u have done in 13 years. Not bad! Fun to drive! Handles and performs great. Not a lot of room for a 6ft 200 lb guy. But it's a great toy for me. Never drove it in snow or rain. Plus it's a head turner. Almost Everytime I take it out someone compliments it. It's a sports car for the smooth roads of Cal or Florida, not so good for Ohio, hence, don't drive it in winter in

2005 convertible Chrysler crossfire.
I love the performance it will get up and go when you hit the gas, but this car was actually supposed to be more of a luxury car not driven much because I have replaced so many parts. One thing I didn't realize is the car uses Mercedes parts, which is expensive. The car use to be reliable, but now it is at the age when everything keeps breaking and I have to decide to fix or sell the car. The body is in excellent condition, but not the engine. I have the convertible top and it was nice in the beginning, but the window came unglued and that was expensive to fix and now the hydraulics do not work and I have no idea what that will cost. I do enjoy being on the Facebook crossfire forum because they help give you ideas to fix broken parts. Overall I love the car, just very expensive upkeep.

It's fun to drive and gets great gas mileage. Love to put the top down and cruise on the highway
Love driving my car. It handles wonderfully. Not good for driving in snow or rain.

I think that my vehicle is cool
I really really hate this vehicle because it does not do the job for me and it does not get me places and it has no gas.

Crossfire has been crossed fire.
It is pretty reliable, just does not have the preferred comfort and seating space that I was looking for in a car. I really like the colors they have to offer though! Also it is a nice medium sized car with nice features inside. Gas mileage is also decent and affordable.

Is The 2005 Chrysler Crossfire A Good Car?

Yes, these cars were made with mainly Mercedes parts but the downside is that they haven't made these care for many years.

Yes, it’s a coupe with a spacious trunk, but expensive when things need to be replaced. For example, if you ever need a wheel bearing replaced on the rear passenger side, the total for repair would be... Read More

How Reliable Is The 2005 Chrysler Crossfire?

The only problem I have had is the back window fell out of the convertible roof. It ended up being recalled and it was fixed.

I don't think this car is very reliable, it seems like it’s always something going wrong. I am expecting my first child and my wheel bearing is failing, my rear driver tail light doesn't illuminate... Read More

Is The 2005 Chrysler Crossfire A Good Value?

Since they haven't made these cars in years one in good condition and low mileage can go for 10.000. There are many collectors for these cars.
cheryl k.
Oh man. When I got the car it was valued at about $6500, two years later, it's only worth about $1000. So of course I'm upside down and trying to get out of this car with all the negative equity is... Read More
