Wow. 3.2 lasts, comfy, good mph. LXi !
My family is had this car for about 15 years now it was bought with about 160,000 miles and now it has 364,000 MI. It's been sitting for a Several years as it's been retired even though it was running fine and had no real problems it was just time to retire it. However recently I've decided to take it out of the shed and start driving it again as gas has become a bit expensive to drive a big V8 hemi around everyday. Starts right up, no smoke, changed the oil put fresh gas in runs great brakes are a little stiff but they're working out it's just an unbelievable car and it's still really plush nice leather nice gauges just simplicity. So change your oil every 3,000 miles, drive it nice and it will last forever. This is not the case for the 2.7 liter however so you're in luck if you got the LXI model and not the LX. The 2.7 l was made with oiling holes that sent oil up tothe valves that were far too small and they get gunked up and eventually ruin the motor most 2.7's I see out there are running like crap and are trailing a bunch of Blue smoke. My dad drove this to work and back home 90 miles a day for over 10 years and he drove between 55 and 60 and always put good gas in it. Basically it was the recipe to be able to drive a car for 400,000 miles and he never used synthetic, just used standard co-op oil oil of the big barrel that every other car or truck got in small town Minnesota. I love this car I just love it if you like me and just are not looking to stand out just looking to fit in this is the car for you if you find a good used one don't hesitate. The only thing that I've done a couple times now is refurbished the headlights as they tend to yellow over time, but no rust and runs like a charm.
Looks and size matter but no Toyota
Bought it new for wife. Told her Toyota Avalon would be more reliable with better resale but she would not have it. Bought a gold LXI pretty much on looks and size. Dodge Intrepid was sportier but since we were expecting a child, trunk opening made the difference. Minivans at the time required removal of last seat to put anything more than a few grocery bags in... forget about it! Mostly pleased @6 years /36k miles but is no Toyota in terms of reliability or resale. Same problems you see others write about: transmission speed sensors (my dealer GOT ME for $800!); rubber grommets around headlights; power lock failures; 3 recalls (seat belt bolt, seat back bolt, shifter)
Please do not buy this car!
This car has given my husband and I the biggest headache of our lives for two years. It is now sitting in our driveway, not running and we are trying to sell it as is and telling them they have to tow it away, because I refuse to put another penny into it! Timing chain has gone twice, air conditioning has been fixed numerous times and still doesn't work, trunk won't stay up, driver window won't go down, replaced battery numerous times, dash cluster replaced, starter replaced, car takes forever to start when you turn the key, seals around windows, paint chipping, etc. So many other things I can't recall because they have all run together! Wish I could drive this car into the lake.
Upset!!!!
i had bought this 1999 chrysler concorde 3.2 a lil over a year ago, and i brought it to someone to look at and everything came back good so i bought it. About 3 months after i bought the car i had put over way to much in to it! i had to put a new battery, timing belt, water pump, head gasket, head cylinder, new engine. Then i have problems with the lights in the car, pass window motor went out, driver window went off track more then once, trunk wont stay open had it fixed 3 times, the gas millage is sooooo bad! Then only good thing about the car is it is roomy and the body looks nice.
