Used 1996 Dodge Intrepid 4dr Sedan Consumer Reviews
Intrepid
Sporty, Well-designed vehicle! Decent gas mileage for this sporty a look. 3.5 litre with 24 values runs great.
Thought it would be fun - it wasn't
When I bought this car it seemed to be in pretty good condition. It had 69,000 miles on it, as well as a spotless interior and exterior. Shortly after i purchased it it began having problems from a non-working air conditioner, to brake problems, to the on-board computer going bad, etc etc etc. Finally in October 2003 the engine had a blow up and would have cost $3500 dollars to fix. Needless to say I am now saying good riddance. I don't know if the car's previous owner just abused the car, or what, but i never had more than a month or two of trouble free car ownership while i had this car.
When will they fix my A/C
Red 96 Intrepid with a 3.5L V6. Fun to drive but has it's problem areas. Started with batteries dying, traced to bad POS battery cable. Been in the shop 4 times (or more, lost track)for A/C. Water pump went out early at about 47k miles. Door seals have a lot of wind noise at highway speed. Front suspension had to be redone at about 85k. Just over 100k miles and the steering sounds like it's about to go out. Paint faded too early in my opinion. Sealed beam headlights weren't as sealed as name implied, consensation inside and have to drive with fog lights on at night to see.
208k And Going Strong
I bought the car used with 185K. have had minor problems, ie brakes, Headlights, Axle. nothing that could persuade me to get rid of the car. the intrepid is roomy and handles well. I have put 28K miles on that used engine and all I do is keep changing the oil. I would recommend the Intrepid to anyone.
INTREPID ES V6 3.5
VERY SOLID CAR THE V6 3.5 IS A THIRSTY ENGINE BUT THE PERFORMANC IS ALL WORTH IT IT HAS A VERY SLEEK LOOK FOR BUSSINESS OR A NIGHT OUT IN THE CITY
