Yep, sod Clarkson I've gone out on a whim and bought a Crossfire
I can hear you all giggling away but a 3.2 V6 for peanuts, what's not to like....

Brave man.

how much was peanuts? I mean, Nissan 350z's are pretty cheap these days, and they're pretty darn decent!

£540 road tax a year for starters unless you bought an early one

What was the 'whim' - a couple of bottles of cheap vodka?

Well, enjoy your 200-odd V6 ponies. BTW, didn't Mercedes have to supercharge that engine to give it a bit of usable power?

Must have been less than £1k.

I might be the only other, but I quite like the look of the crossfire yes its no Z4, but if you got it cheap enough, why not,

We look after a couple of Crossfires.

They never seem to go wrong,just tyres and brakes.

Sure the looks are divisive,but they are cheap and fun.

£1400, it's like a disposable car

At 225bhp and 0-60 of 6 secs and restricted to 155, it'll do for some fun

Early one

I'll admit I always liked the looks of them - but reviews at the time weren't usually favourable!

Still a pre-06 reg model looks like a bargain.

The 2006 tax revision pretty much spelt the death of these, along with RX-8s, S2000s, 350Zs and even Hyundai V6 Coupes!

Assuming you got a really, really good deal. Just every thing else about it.

Enjoy.

This was mine before my current Zed, I liked it but the road tax was a put off, oh and wanting another Zed
I would have another

The interior? The rear end? the front?

I guess if you squint really hard you can imagine it's a Weissman MF5.

Cheap fun, i guess.
