It just won't die!
I bought this in 2000 with just over 100K on it. Only external flaws were light hail damage and faded paint where a cell phone antenna used to be. Eventually, the faded spot spread from the elements, but no lower body rust at all. Living in Minnesota with the ice and salt on roads in winter, it's held up well. I've put mostly short trips on it, and it always starts and runs, except once. Battery was old and died. Only had that replaced, one water pump and one starter in 9 years. Tires of course. For having been over 100K when I bought it, 9 years of driving and only put that much into it is great! Idle is rough sometimes now, so may need to have it looked at, but can't complain.
intrepid, good & bad
Intrepid looks great, comfort excellent, performance very good, space very generous, but, on going problems with a/c needed major expensive repairs 7 years out of 8, brakes 4 sets of rotors and pads for 80,000 miles, plastic trim on roofline peeled.
Not if it was the last car on earth!
I purchased new from the dealer lot. The air conditioner has never worked from the first day. I've had it back to different dealers every summer since and no one can find out what's wrong with it. Had transmission problems after the first year and at 45,000 was told that I needed a new one. Starter died the third year. Fixed with after- market parts. Every time I brought the car in for service, something else came back broke. Brought it in for a broken headlight, hood release came back broke. Brought it in for brakes, passenger window wouldn't go down. Brought it in for air conditioner (again and again), low-fuel light won't go off.
The new Dodge, same old same old
I bought this car from an individual. I paid just $500. I found the acceleration with the 3.3 to be more than ample. The drivetrain is good for the engine, and shifted smooth. Even though the car has never left me stranded, I have poured quite the sum of money into it. When I bought it, it needed brakes. That's maintanence. After driving it for a month, the inner and outer tie rod ends on the driver's side are going bad. Map, and O2 sensors went bad. The rear transmission mount is broke. The downshift linkage in the transmission is sticking. Dodge did a horrible job on fit and finish. Same old Same old.
very pleased
I too have had air conditioning troubles but consider that to be a minor problem. I have now more then 180000 miles on the car and it still runs extremely well. The body is holding together very well considering the car has seen a lot of gravel road. Excepting routine maintainance (oil changes, tires, windshields, timing belts and brakes) the car has cost well under .01 cents per mile to keep it running.
