Not Too Bad

Recently purchased this 96 Concorde from a friend. His mother went into a nursing home and the car had only had 3722 miles on it. hard to pass up right? first two months of owning the car went pretty well. changed the oil in the third month. (it was pretty much sludge) websites like edmunds and fuel economy.gov say I'm supposed to be getting around 21 mpg. WRONG. i have the 3.3 V6 and I'm averaging about 12 mpg. Still love the car though. Only complaints are the poorly made cupholders.

Best Car I've Ever Owned!

I bought my '96 Concorde new and have driven it regularly ever since. It has been completely reliable. I've done regular maintenance, and the few items that have been replaced were due to wear, not failure. I cannot say enough good things about my car. It is now to the point that many components are wearing out, but I don't mind spending the money to replace them. It's been such a good car that I will keep it indefinitely. This is one purchase that has paid off handsomely for me!

A car to avoid

This car has been the most unreliable vehicle I ever purchased. We've repaired the A/C 5 times, it's gotten new heads, p/s pumps (3), water pumps (3), and a host of assorted items that my mechanic (I've confirmed 80% of his diagnoses with the dealer) claims he never sees on other cars. Oh, replacing windshield wipers - $150 because the motor and wipers are hard connected.

We purchased it new in 96, and have enjoyed it very these past 8 years. We had transmission trouble early on and later at the 6 year mark had outer tie rod problems, both covered by our 7/70 warranty. Recently we replaced the inner tie rod bushings, a kit is available, inexpensive, easy to replace, but does require an alignment. All concorde, LHS, intrepid owners need to know that these bushings will go out earlier than most because of the placement of the steering box up and behind the engine. Heat 'em out. Left undetected they will go bad and become potentially hazardous. Most of the review problems read have not been seen with our car.

Turns on a dime!

Love the way this car handles. I live in a mountainous area w/ lots for sharp curves & steep hills & this car handles them very well. I love the 7 speaker bose & creature comforts in general. I had to replace a fuel pump (really easy thanks to an access panel in trunk), wheel bearing 2 years ago & have the steering fixed last year, but considering the car has over 175,000 miles on it that’s not too bad. The air conditioning stopped working 4 years ago but considering everything else the car has to offer that’s a minor inconvienence.
