2000 Dodge Intrepid Base review from North America

"A lemon"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The door locks started buzzing at around 10,000 km, I brought my vehicle to the Chrysler/Dodge dealership, and the employee told me that it was not in my warranty. I got angry at the man, and I went to my mechanic (he is a family friend) he told me straight forward that Chrysler are not reliable cars. He told me to watch out about the 2.7 liter engine. 1 WEEK LATER MY ENGINE BLEW AT 18,000 KM! I went to the dealership once again, and the same employee told me that I did not take proper care of this car. I knew for a fact that this was about to happen, because my mechanic told me. The employee told me it is going to cost me around 4000$ just to replace the engine. Because I use my car often for my job, I told him to fix it, and also to fix the buzzing on the door locks. In total it came out to 8500$ For curiosity, I went to a used car dealership, and asked for a price quote, after about 20 minutes, he comes out with a paper and tels me if I want to sell it, it will be sold for 13,000$ I was in shock! I purchased this automobile 2 months before for 24,000$ I had to continue making payments on this car, and after 43,000 km, MY ENGINE BLEW AGAIN! I put a used engine in my car, and now I have it at 56,000 km, and I'm planning to sell it, but they probably won't give me more than 5,000$ for this piece of junk.

General comments?

Big and spacious, very big trunk. Smooth ride at the beginning 10,000 km.
