How good is any car? Unless it was made incorrectly at the factory, or suffers from factory defective parts, any piece of machinery is as good as the guy that made it and the guy that uses/services it. My 2004 Crossfire was purchased used in 2006 with 15,000 miles. To date, only one problem - a trouble code for the air injection system at 38,000 miles which turned out to be a failed air injector relay. $435 later, I am at 53,000 miles now and only tires, wiper blades, and brake pads have been changed. I will be changing all of the fluids at 75,000 miles (regardless of the dealer's 100,000 recommendation). I expect this car to last as long as other Mercedes-Benz products, which is over 300,000 miles on average before major service is required. I expect to get my money's worth out of this American-skinned SLK.
