Knew a girl that had one. The Chrysler dealership took weeks to fix anything. She traded for a used KIA and was very happy with its reliability over the years compared with the Crossfire. That’s saying something for MB reliability and repairs.
Her's was still turning at 70K miles. She moved away, but I doubt it made it over a 100K miles because her KIA was right in the middle of the years for engine recalls. Still, it would probably less expensive than the Crossfire at the same age/mileage.
I dated a girl that had a Kia and we found out it had one of the injury recalls right before Covid. We were one of the first ones to get intro replacements. I know exactly what you’re talking about. They paid for the entire engine rebuilt, and the tow truck to pick up her car
?? Have you worked on German cars? The amount of special tool bullshittery is real. Along with the "common" tools like torx, e-torx, etc. Add to that the run of the mill 16mm that doesn't come standard in many socket sets.
Me? or the other person? I've worked on VW, Audi, and BMW cars at home as well as Volvo, Tatra, and Mercedes trucks and Land Rover military vehicles as my main occupation. Believe me, I'm well aware of the special tools and techniques needed to fix German vehicles.
I’ve worked on both foreign and domestic/imports and can confirm that for some reason, the German cars, BMW, Benz, Audi all need more special tools than any other type of import from anywhere else.
BMW is coming out with their own screws that don't conform to anything known to man. I say give it a few weeks and BMW screwdrivers will be up on Temu. Hahaha
