Is a crysler crossfire ok?

Question 1
Is a crysler crossfire ok?...  My son is very into cars and just got his license. Hes been looking for a car has found one he really likes....an 05 Crysler Crossfire. I had too think about this as this car is a sports car and hes only 16. I know the insurance would probly be a bit higher....but he is very mature and takes good care of things. What do u think...crossfire or not?

Answers
1)   for a Crysler sure one of the last cars most would want to own you know that they been trying to go bankrupt for 40 yrs now has not made a great car in the 40 yrs ive been driving but better than a yugo - kelly_f_1999

2)   Great car, shares its frame,drivetrain, and some interior bits with Mercedes SL. - djaca70

3)   Why not if he's as good a kid as you say, and you can afford the insurance. But the car never sold well. But that does not mean it is a bad car. It's now out of production. People for whatever reason just never paid attention to it.Look online of information.

I can tell you a full set of tires are $1,500.00 per set! If not more by now, that price was over a year ago.

Definitely NOT a good winter car. No traction on snow or ice. The tires are way to wide for that. - escort500xlr

4)   i have one. v6 3.2. come on, be serious, not for a 16 year old., you must have more money than sense. the car is far to powerful for someone with no driving experience. start him off in a 106 or 206 or whatever but not a crossfire. - movana

5)   Here's the thing about a Crossfire. The Crossfire was the first attempt of Chrysler and Mercedes engineers to work together. Mercedes gave Chrysler their old technology to apply Chrysler's new design. It wasn't too successful because the competition already caught up to Mercedes old tech and Chrysler had to cripple its design to fit what they were given. Now with that said, the Crossfire was a fairly reliable, if cramped coupe. It is expensive to repair if something does break (same as Mercedes, BMW, or Audi). The performance is on par with a Mazda Miata or Honda S2000. Tires are expensive (if you do buy it, check the tires - rear tires wear out first). Make sure your get 2 keys (expensive keys). Good luck. - C-Tech

Question 2
Should I trade in my 2000 Honda Prelude, for an 2001 Chrysler Sebring Coupe?...  My Honda Is Giving me so many problems,
like the wiring (even the inside gauges and radio),
and suspension (tie rods)

Should i just fix those problems,
or get the Sebring
which has 10,000 less than my Prelude (84,000 miles)

-oh and i still need to buy an alarm for my Honda Prelude

Answers
1)   yes cristler will run on forever man - John

2)   No keep the Honda, just get it repaired or get a book and learn to fix some things, Hondas will run for 200,000 miles, The Chrysler will prob cost you more in the long run. - Roadrunnermike

3)   I wouldn't trade for a Sebring. It was #2 on the 10 worst cars list. So if I were you, I would try to find something better. - Jason K

4)   After retiring from Chrysler with 23 years, I can tell you that the Honda is a better car with all the things wrong with it at this time. I would definitely fix the Honda and drive it as opposed to the Sebring which wasn't that good a car from the start. Sebring coup is a Mitsubishi built car under the Chrysler/Mitsubishi partnership. The Sebring sedan is a Chrysler corporation built car and not much better. - Jackolantern

5)   I would not trade a horse for the Sebring Coupe (Mitsubishi mostly, sold under Chrysler). If you were talking about a Sebring sedan, I 'd consider. Keep looking. - C-Tech

Where do you find the brake line 2005 Chrysler Sebring Convertible?...  And how do you get to or find it to check it?

Answers
1)   cool - Emily

2)   Take it to a Chrysler dealer, or other automotive shop. If you want to how to find the brake line, look in your owners manual. - JamesB

3)   The brake line starts out under the hood at the master brake cyl
From there it goes down on the drivers side to the front brakes and the rear brakes
It then runs next to the unibody back to the rear end of the car and the rear brakes
you can get to it from the bottom side of the car

Question 4
My 1973 Plymouth Scamp will not start.?...  I just bought a 1973 Plymouth Scamp basically fully restored, but for some reason now it won't start. It will try to turn over, but it just wont completely start. I replaced the ignition coil and the ignition module. It has an MSD ignition system so I'm not going to buy a box unless I absolutely have to. When we checked for a spark it didn't have one. I don't know what to do anymore. I need help.

Answers
1)   the car is 36 years old for crying out loud...what do ya expect??? - CuRiouS oNe

2)   Check the ballast resister.....should have 12 volts on one end @ around 9 volts on the other.. - cigar man

3)   Contact MSD and they will tell you how to check for no spark or power in their system. Or it may be on their website - rick b

4)   my bet would also be the ballast resistor - always keep an extra in your glove box
These are the weakest links in the otherwise bullet proof systems - roadrunner426440
