CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case. Please contact us before purchase; we review the possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support through the process. Import VAT and other costs are assessed separately.
CarHub · Chrysler
The Chrysler Crossfire is one of the more unusual cars you can source from the American used market, precisely because it was never fully American under the skin.

Model profile
The Crossfire ran for a single generation, model years 2004 to 2008. It arrived first as a two-seat coupe, joined for 2005 by a soft-top roadster. The high-performance SRT-6 followed in 2005 as well, offered in both bodies. The Crossfire shared roughly 80 percent of its components with the first-generation Mercedes SLK (R170), and it was assembled by Karmann in Osnabrück, Germany.
Powertrain and equipment
Every Crossfire uses a Mercedes-derived 3.2-liter V6. The base and Limited trims run the naturally aspirated M112 with roughly 215 hp and 229 lb-ft, driving the rear wheels through either a six-speed manual or a five-speed automatic.
The lineup is compact: base, Limited, and SRT-6, each available as coupe or roadster. Limited cars add leather, heated seats, and upgraded audio. The SRT-6 brings the supercharged engine, a fixed rear spoiler, firmer suspension, and unique wheels.
Vehicle selection
The United States absorbed the majority of Crossfire production, so it remains the deepest pool of used examples worldwide. Most cars on offer are automatic coupes; roadsters and manuals command more attention. Mileage varies widely because many were bought as weekend cars, so low-mileage garage-kept examples still surface regularly. Condition is generally good given the Mercedes underpinnings, though interiors and soft-tops show their age.

Pre-purchase review
Crossfire reliability is broadly solid thanks to the proven M112 V6, but there are known weak points. The rear-mounted electronic spoiler motor can fail and is a common complaint. Sealed-for-life differentials and rear suspension bushings wear on higher-mileage cars. Water ingress around the trunk and taillights, sticky interior soft-touch coatings, and window regulator issues appear regularly. On the SRT-6, watch the supercharger and its cooling.
Germany and Europe
Because the Crossfire was built in Germany and also sold in Europe, the mechanical differences are minor, but US cars carry American lighting, amber side markers, a mph-primary speedometer, and US emissions calibration.
For the TÜV inspection and Einzelabnahme, expect to address lighting first: headlamp beam pattern, side markers, and fitting a rear fog lamp where required.
USCar Trader services
As a buyer based in Germany, you do not have to inspect the vehicle yourself in the United States or Canada. Within the agreed scope, USCar Trader can coordinate document review, a separately commissioned on-site inspection and purchase processing.
Covered inspection points are agreed in advance. An on-site inspection records condition at the appointment and is not a guarantee.
Next step: Before commissioning, USCar Trader and the customer agree which document, history, inspection and transaction checks suit the vehicle and are included in the service. This records what was actually checked.
Import process
The process runs in a set order. First, selection: agree the target car and inspect it.
Questions and answers
Yes, broadly. Its Mercedes V6 and drivetrain are durable; most issues are age-related electrical and trim items rather than fundamental faults.
Yes. It was assembled by Karmann in Osnabrück on Mercedes SLK underpinnings, despite the Chrysler badge.
No, not automatically. A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review the possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are assessed separately.
Import VAT and other taxes or costs are assessed separately under the applicable rules and the circumstances of the individual case. A blanket answer for every vehicle would not be reliable.
The six-speed manual is rarer and engaging; the supercharged SRT-6 is the performance flagship. Both are less common than the base automatic.
The electric rear spoiler motor, water ingress at the rear, window regulators, and sticky interior coatings are the frequent complaints.
Typically several weeks door to door, driven mainly by ocean freight scheduling and customs clearance.
No. The SRT-6 was automatic only; the manual was offered on base and Limited cars.
