Used 2001 Chrysler Concorde Consumer Reviews
Amazing Ride
I just bought a 2000 Concorde LXi for $3000 in Augest and im proud to say that this is an amazing yet huge car! I put 4 new Michelin tires on it but my father got the darkest window tints on it and I can barely see backing up at night...oh well. I'd like to get a backup camera installed just for this reason. Fully loaded with practically everything reasonable. Sunroof, 4 disk cd changer, etc. Only probs are that the ride side of the cup holder is broke is annoying but looks funny and some of the paint is scratched because I brought from a concrete contracter guy and the passenenger window doesnt roll down but I am fixing it here soon. Amazing 3.2L DO NOT GET THE 2.7 OR YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!!
happy car owner
I'm the original owner and have always babied my cars. I have to say I am very pleased with this vehicle and am SO thankful it has a 3.2 and not the infamous failing 2.7 motor. Lots of pep. With a few accessories it's a looker in town. The only downsides which I've learned to live with are wipers with a mind of their own which mechanics have no idea what's up with them. Just the intermittents. On my third factory radio. Door weatherstripping keeps shrinking and shrinking and causes it to hang. And as many chryslers, the factory chrome lettering is peeling off. Overall, I would recommend this car.

2000 Chrysler Concorde: the best car I've owned. I bought it new. Interior: well engineered: plenty of leg room, easy access to knobs & switches, and very luxurious. For a car this size: outstanding 30 mpg on highway and 27 mpg in city. The only maintenance that I do religiously is oil/fluid changes, and replacement of tires, brakes, wipers... It has not let me down yet. Sleek look: body features and the paint (metallic steel blue) are still in excellent condition after all these years. The ride is smooth and very comfortable with ample power from the v-6. The only concern - door weather- stripping came loose and does not stay in place - seems to be a bad design. Any fix ideas?
Disappointed to say the least
I saved for months to buy this car. I loved the room in the back seat and trunk area is HUGE! Loved the streamline look of the car with leather and a sunroof. Then it started. A/C failed, power windows failed, rubber seals around the doors were falling off every time I opened the door, and don't dare take it to a car wash. And if that wasn't bad enough, the 2.7 engine started to "tick". Come to find out that this engine is famous for SLUDGE. It gets trapped in the top of the engine and kills the horsepower and overall performance of the car. Very disappointed in this "American" car. Makes me sad to know I might have to buy a foreign car to get some reliability. It's just sad.
Beware the LX model with the 2.7 liter!
I purchased the car used (with the 2.7 liter engine) as a a roomy rather fuel efficient, full sized family vehicle. The car had 65,000 at the time of purchase. Less than a year later, at 75K, the internal water pump failed and flooded the engine with coolant, and also a loose exhaust valve guide caused the valve to wiggle and not seat seat properly, in turn causing damage to the valve seat. Hence the cylinder wouldn't hold compression. The total cost of repairs was $2,481 !! The 2.7 liter has an awful reputation of premature, catastrophic failures. Research the web!! I did, but it was too late for me! Stay away from the 2.7. Trust me.
