Have Always Loved This Car

This is our second LHS. We bought it 7 years ago as the second owner with 64k miles on it. We've loved it ever since. We've only ever done routine maintenance until we hit 215k when we had a noise from the differential. We had the tranny and differential rebuilt (it's one unit) and she's been running strong to this day. She's at 226k and showing no signs of giving up. Our friends always want to take our car because it's so comfortable. She always has plenty of power and is fun to drive. We average 24 to 25 mpg between in town and highway which isn't bad for such a large car! Very sad they don't still make them!
Great Value!

I truly believe there could be no better value in a luxury car. Everything from style, comfort and performance cannot be beat at this car's price. My wife and I have driven this car 55000 miles and have yet to put a single dollar toward anything other than routine maintenance. It is a pleasure to own and drive, and we get daily compliments on its appearance and style.
AWESOME!!!!!!

I have had this car now for 6 years and still going strong at 255,000 MILES. Other than routine maintenance I have never had much trouble with it. After 3 deer and a chevy pickup and 255,000 miles still going strong!! I am looking for another one with lower miles prefer another silver one but would consider other than gold.

My LHS has been a pleasure to own and drive. In 60k miles, I have only replaced the tires once, brakes once, and the ignition lock. It gets good mileage on both city and highway driving (drove 380-highway miles on one tank of gas).

This is a good solid family car. I have not noticed the road noise compared to other cars we have owned. The one problem we keep having is that the computerized climate control malfunctions repeatedly and there is NO heat. We call it the ice car. It happens to be white too. We keep having to take it back to the dealership to have the computer reprogrammed at $60 plus tax. What an annoyance for an otherwise great car.
Love my LHS

My Chrysler has been such a reliable vehicle and the design is great. Even though it is now 9 years old, it does not look or feel like a dated car. It is the most comfortable ride - for driver and for passengers.
Save extra for a new transmission

I bought this car in the summer of 03 w/ an extended warranty. I had to take her in 5 or 6 times before the warranty (24,000 miles) expired for wheel bearing replacement, electronic malfunction, and brake pad problems. I'm now at 63,000 miles and the gearbox is shot. The transmission shop tells me that it is common for this vehicle's transmission to crap out after 50,000 miles. I've never driven it hard, I've always maintained the transmission with proper maintenance...and this is what I get. $1,500 for a new transmission. Start saving.
5 Years, 126K, Great Engine! Bad Trim!

Purchased in 2003 with 28K miles, owned 5 years and 126K miles. I love the reliability and power of the engine (now at 154K). Mechanically, it performs like new and passes almost everyone on the road. However, trim components fly off the car as I go by. I expect to drive it for at least 2 more years. To avoid a new car purchase, I recently detailed the interior and ordered $400 worth of replacement trim, including the hood molding and a pair of speakers to replace the blown front right woofer. The large black hood molding seems to be a universal problem. I also paid for some significant AC repairs around 120K. Overall, I have really gotten my money's worth and love driving my LHS.
Good vehicle, not great

I bought this vehicle in 2000 and it put about 60,000 miles on it. It is a great driving car and still looks great, even at 5 years of age. The sound system is good, the seats are comfortable and the car drives fairly well. I have had lots of trouble with the tires, actually the wheels cause slow leaks so I put air in the tires almost as frequently as I put gas in the car, and I am on my second set of tires due to premature wear on the tires. Also the front bumper is peeling and the finish/paint is looking a little faded on the entire vehicle. I upgraded to Michelin's last time and they are getting chewed up.
215000 and still going strong

This is an absolutely amazing vehicle! I bought this car used and have put 30,000 miles on it since then and have had no problems whatsoever. This car now has 118,000 miles on it and runs absolutely perfect ad looks just the same.The paint wheels and interior are immaculate and looks just like new, and the women love it. If you are looking for an affordable, quick, flashy, and comfortable car I would definitely go with the LHS, you will not be disappointed.

I purchased the car new and have had a very pleasant and satisfying ownership experience. With the exception of the replacement of an electric door lock actuator, I have had no problems with the car. The car performs well and the 3.5 litre, 250 horsepower engine has plenty of power and gets pretty good mileage. The car has a roomy interior and substantially more rear leg room than most cars, many of which cost substantially more. I can accomodate four men comfortably and get four sets of golf clubs in the large trunk. Try this with most other cars. Overall I have had a very good ownership experience with this 2000 Chrysler LHS.

I bought it used in 2001. It has been a great car. The only thing besides routine maintenance was a drivers side power window motor. Bought a new motor from NAPA for 65.00 and spent 45 min changing it. I have never gotten less than 22mpg and as high as 30mpg across New York. Highway average 28 and in town 23. It has almost 110,000mi and runs and looks like new. I got 50,000 out of the first 2 sets tires. I have not been back to the selling dealer for anything since I bought the car. It has been a much better car than either of my Honda accords were.

I bought this car in 2002 for $18,000 as a "winter" car. I sold my other vehicle and kept this one. I didn't care what went wrong with it and so...nothing did. Finally put in new brakes at 73,000 miles. Put in a new battery out of "guilt" after 6 years. This car has never let me down. Starts and runs beautifully in any weather. Excellent winter driving car. Great road car. Gets 20mpg. consistently which amazes me for a big V6 engine. It's just a wonderful vehicle. Currently 86,000 miles, but starting to show its age and regretfully I'll have to trade it in.

Had two Cadillacs before this car. Fell in love with LHS design when it first came out. Waited two years and monitored owner bulletin boards until all bugs and complaints seemed to have been worked out.

I couldn't believe it when I saw it. The dealership was amazing at helping me to get into my LHS. And up until I purchased it, I've had the worst luck imaginable w/ cars. Now, I have something that runs beautifully, looks amazing & I'm praying to god that will keep me on the road. I get comments all the time, most people thought the car was brand new! And it's a '99!! I got a better deal w/ my LHS then I would of w/ the Concorde I originally wanted. Would recommend to anyone.

My wife has owned a Grand Am and a Grand Prix. Both were within 2 years old when purchased and always were in the shop. They both, also, lacked the simple little refinements of the LHS. Everytime I drive the LHS, when allowed, I am pleasantly reassured that I have the best car of the road for styling, dependability, and safety for my wife and my family.

Best car I have owned. I have driven this thing 150,000 miles and it has only had 2 malfunctions. Shift Cable broke which I discovered was a design flaw in the cable. Also had to replace the Control Module. Still have the original battery though. Love to drive this car on the highway. I hugs the curves and holds speed through the mountain roads. I can't find a car that gives this styling, features and ride.

After 4 years the LHS still turns heads. My experience has been a pleasant one. I have two sons that are both over 6 ft. and weigh more than 300lbs. The LHS transports us back and forth to colleges in comfort and with ease. Inclement weather does not pose a problem due to the LHS traction control. The 2000 LHS has many of the conveniences that are present in the new 2004 300.

I never imagined that a car this large would show between 27-30 MPG consistently on the road and 21 in the city. Chrysler has a winning formula in the LHS. Sadly I must part ways with it as it is time to move to something new for my business. If you can find one like mine, buy it with your eyes closed! These cars are excellent - few mechanical problems, high reliability.
Awsome!!!

This car is the best Iv'e ever owned! With 253 horses under the hood, this car jumps off the pavement. I put alot of miles on cars. This one is fun to be in, comfortable, and user friendly!! The only minor problem with it is that the back window is hard to see out of. Also there is no place to put your sunglasses. Overall this car is a must buy!
Excellent Car for the Money

This car is still going strong at 103,000 mi. Still original brake lining and get 25-27 mpg on the highway. Engine uses no oil between changes. Car looks good and drives great. I wish the new Chrysler was fwd so I could trade. Only criticism is road noise. I would like a quieter ride. Only repair was an air cond evaporator at 78,000 mi.

This is a big car that feels smaller when you drive it. It holds the road well and handles better than expected. The styling stands out and and looks as good today as it did when I bought it.

I have had this car for 5 years. It has never let me down. I didn't need new brakes until 73,000 mi. I put a new battery in it (6 year old battery) mostly out of guilt, because there was no problem with the "original" six year old battery. The gas mileage is about 20 mpg in town (sometimes more). I bought it as a "winter car" to replace my Lexus but wound up keeping it. It had 18,000 miles on it when I bought it. Now has 85,000 and runs like a top.

I bought this car used in 2003 with 48 K miles, it just turned 81K miles on 1/23/09. I have the gold color, and it looks as new as the day it was painted on the car. No problems at all, I plan on getting a new 300 C next year and keeping this one as well.
Not tired of it yet!

Being somewhat reserved at owning a Chrysler when I travel so much, I did not know what to expect with my LHS. It has been an excellent car. Runs good, looks good and more importantly, has had to be in the shop only a couple of times and those were "trim" issues. Would highly recommend this car to anyone.

I had been driving Intrepids for the last 6 years and considered a 300M when I bought the new 2000. Went with the LHS because of the room--plenty inside and a cavernous trunk. Nice interior touches that create a more elegant look. Very comfortable ride without being too boaty. Power is good. Shifts smoothly. I put about 24K miles a year on it and have had no problems.

I traded a 94 Cadillac Seville for this car. The Chrysler has more options than the Cadillac and is much cheaper to operate. Gas milage is about 28- 30mpg on the highway depending on my speed. At 70-75 it usually gets around 27-28 mpg.

I am the second owner of this car and it has been great. It currently has 185,000 miles. The fuel pump went out at 90K and I have replaced the front bearings but everything else on the car is fine. The body and the interior has held up great, it still sparkles.

Bought the car brand new. It now has 92,000 miles on it. Had to get the first set of tires replaced because of uneven wear. Have always had problems with the car bottoming out unless I keep 40 lbs of pressure in the tires. The car engine is a bit loud, but I have never had any engine problems. It has been a reliable car. Gets 20 miles per gal.

...until my wife drove it. We absolutely enjoy this vehicle. Chrysler made the mistake to discontinue the name, LHS has more character than the sister car (although just as nice), the Concorde. It handles nice, rides wonderfully, has a great sound system. A great head turner...even had an 80+ year old lady comment on the chic style.

An unbelievable bargain; can't wait to drive it every day.Far better than previous 1994 LHS. Fuel mileage somewhat disappointing: 18mpg in town, 24-25mpg on highway. Actually is fun to drive (handling)in a way that Ford and GM luxury cars are not.
I wish they still made them today!

Bought this car in 2002, have loved it since. Great ride, lots of fun. We live in NE so lots of snow and this car handles beautifully. I haven't spent a lot of money on it, beyond the normal wear and tear stuff. We replaced the brakes twice, and unfortunately we had to replace all four door locks, that was a bit pricey. As far as performance nothing has gone wrong. I just bought a new car, and am still keeping this one, can't bare to part with it. Will keep it till it really dies.

I bought this vehicle used just about 3 months ago with over 116,000 miles on it. Drives great, runs like a cheetah, could accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hr in just a few seconds. The music and speakers are perfect, the 4 cd exchanger is very convenience. The all electronic chairs, doors, steering wheel music control system button is so awesome. Large spaced trunk.

My Father purchased this 2000 model car new in 1999. He never had any trouble with it and passed it onto me a few years ago. The ride is smooth and excellent and despite its big car feel in how well it ugs the road the gas mileage has been great for this size car. The instrumentation is all clear to see and while today electronics have gone way beyond most cars built in 2000 the LHS was at the top of the game. I would not hesitate to purchase its replacement model the 300. This was a gem of a car that is still ticking.

I've driven my LHS for 8 years. At a 131,000 miles it doesn't owe me a thing. I have loved this car and enjoyed the driving experience every time I've gotten behind the wheel. The car handles like a dream in all kinds of weather and is a comfortable ride. We had some door lock issues and repairs you would expect after 131k miles but otherwise no repair issues. I could probably drive it another 50k miles but the deals on the '09 300C are just too good to pass up. I'll be saying good-bye to my LHS tomorrow when I turn it in for my new 300 hemi. The 300 is a great looking car but I must say the interior on my LHS offers more. I'm hoping I will enjoy this new car as much as I have the LHS.
Outstanding!

Overall, this is a great car, roomy, good styling, and well built. One obvious defect, is the exterior plastic trim which becomes brittle after 2-3 years. The plastic hood trim on my car actually blew off my car when I was traveling on the highway. I complained to Chrysler about this, but they told me this is normal for this car, and they don't intend to do anything about it. It costs more than $150 to replace this defective trim.

Great car. I have owned it over 5 years and 90,000 mi. It has never been back to the dealer for anything. Original tires went 42,000mi and the second set still have 1/3 of the tread left. One set of brake pads at 65,000 mi. At 86,000 mi I changed the timming belt as preventive maint. No other repairs or problems. It still looks new, gets great gas mileage, and is fun to drive. Great car in every way
