Used 2001 Chrysler Concorde Consumer Reviews
Very nice, very good, but trans sucks
I bought a 19 months old LXI with 20,000 on odometer to replace my 1993 LXI. The car is great, but the transmission is tuned so the RPMs rarely go below 2000 under 40mph. This makes the fuel economy in city traffic worse. Also the trans does not down shift fast enough. The other problem that I have with the car is damage it sustaines in collisions. I had a low speed front end collision 4 months after buying the car (first accident ever). The damage was massive. I learned that the bumper with this grill is not very durable.
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.
Solid, reliable car
Good car that averages about 20 mpg in the city and anywhere from 30-33 mpg. Lot's of room and easily accomodates 5 passengers. Yes the engine power is a little on the lower side, but that's to be expected with such a large car being pushed by a 2.7l six cylinder. Huge trunk and plenty of room. We've had the car for almost four years and 47,000 miles; the only thing I've replaced is the windshield wipers. The OEM brake shoes will need changed soon.
Decent car
This car is very reliable. It has ok power and it is very comfortable. The ride is very smooth and it handles great. It is Mother friendly i.e. easy to unload kids due to the large backseat. Great gass mileage 28 mpg in the city. P.S. our first child is named concorde.
2000 Concorde LX
I bought this car after rolling into the dealership in a car that wouldn't move anymore. Overall, I have been very pleased with the car. I have had no mechanical problems with it so far (knock on wood), and it is truly a luxury car for the person who doesn't want to pay for a luxury car.
