Used 2001 Chrysler Concorde Consumer Reviews
The major engine problem ruins
I bought the car new from dealer and had 66,000 miles on it with a near perfect maintenance record, then this past week, the check engine light came on. I was told by the dealer I would need a rebuild engine at a cost of almost $8,000. I have since learned at various web sites, this is a common problem due to the infamous 2.7 liter engine and excessive oil sludge. A second, independent repair shop indicated this is a long known problem. After buying four brand new Chrysler cars over the past 20 years, I'm extremely disappointed with how they are taking care of (now-former) long term customers.
Review from Texas
I'm very pleased with the looks, performance, dependibility and ride. Great stereo. Everyone loves riding in it, and the trunk is huge.
A Really Good Car !
To support our retirement's fixed income in May 2004 we paid cash and our 93 Jeep Cherokee for a dark-red Concorde LXi (tan interior) with 49000 miles. It was a great choice. With its peppy 3.2L V6 it's a good looker and (even for me at 72) fun to drive. It's now 9 yrs old with 72000+ miles and hasn't given us any problems whatsoever. When we bought it we chose to replace it's battery and tires, tinted it's windows and have changed it's oil every 3000 miles - nothing more - and today it still drives like a new car with reliability and very good fuel economy! The sole criticism is a higher level of road noise than it should have on an interstate. Other than that it's a really good car.
Reliable and Great Value
Bought this one new. It is extremely reliable, inexpensive to maintain, has the ride of a luxury car 3x the price, has the fuel economy of a car half the size and handles like a charm. This car has to be one of the most under-appreciated, under-rated American cars ever built! Wish I'd bought two of 'em!
One of the best!
This car has been excellent, fun to drive, gas mileage 22/28 with the 3.2V6, no repairs up to now. Love the interior space, the exterior looks, all of this on regular gas. A most comfortable car, fairly quiet and very good suspension. Chrysler hit a home run on this one; it's a shame that it was discontinued.
