Used 1996 Chrysler Concorde Sedan Consumer Reviews
Looks Good But High Repairs
We've had significant repair issues over the years and I would not recommend this car. (and I wouldn't recommend another Chrysler product unless I was convinced they've improved mechanical reliability) The dealers have generally been good to work with but its gotten a little ridiculous. We've replaced the entire cooling system, alternator, fuel and power steering pumps, the sun roof leaked, new exhaust, head gasket, and assorted smaller items in addition to normal wear and tear items. Not good. Why don't we sell it? Everytime we fixed an item we figured, "What else could go wrong?"
Love this car!
Incredible! Of 21 vehicles I've owned, this one has been the most reliable by far. Bought it with 16k mi., now have 230k with original (not rebuilt) motor (3.3l) and tranny. All repairs done after 178k mi. Included timing chain, motor & tranny mounts, rotors, radiator, coil block, alternator, rad fan & water pump (3x since 70k); the rest is intact and in perfect working order including a/c, tranny, motor, abs and all accessories. The secret? change all fluids at the required time set by the manuf. And use the best brand-specific synthetics for all components. This holds true for any of today's vehicles, saving money in the long run; in 8 yrs this car has more than paid for itself.

Just not for me?
I have had my Concord for almost a yr now. My dad bought it for me it hopes it would be a good school car. The first night I had it, it had an oil leak my dad easily fixed it. I like it but it's not the greatest on gas. And it's a little big for me. Other wise great car. I just need something more fuel economy because I will be driving a lot because of college.
still solid
I've had this car for over 5 years now with no major problems, even though I've put it thru almost every conceivable terrain and traffic.If you're looking for reliability + affordability +comfort, take a look at the Concorde. They changed the design in 97 and went crazy on the ovals, personally I like mine better.
CONCORDE
VEHICLE HANDLES VERY WELL AND HAS BEEN EXCELLENT AS FAR AS REPAIR ISSUES ARE CONCERNED. THE BIGGEST EXPENSE THAT I HAVE ENCOUNTERED WAS THE RACK AND PINION UNIT,
