You should be fine... if the company is in business, by lay they HAVE to supply parts for a good number of years, I believe. For some reason I’m thinking its 15 years, but I’m not positive.

But outside of that, your car actually uses quite a lot of Mercedes components. So even if Chrysler went out of business completely and no parts supplier bought the equipment or rights to make replacement parts, you could get a lot of what you need from the local Mercedes dealer.

Did you get a good deal on the Crossfire? They’re absolute slugs when it comes to moving off the dealers lot, so they should be desperate to move anything. Almost two years ago, they had a 230 day supply on the lots, which is a horrid inventory level. They even started listing them on overstock.com to try to get rid of them. By 2006, they were up to nearly a year’s supply on the lots...

They certainly look nice, but were an absolute, unadulterated sales flop. I think Edsels were probably easier to move....
