I have a 04 Concorde it has its problems just like all the rest. Like another guy said, you cannot expect BMW quality.
With that said, all in all it's a decent vehicle I've got 20" rims and 15" speakers that set it OFF.
Personally I though they were somewhat oooogly cars till I did my own thing with it, but if you're into that style they are good cars.
The real downfall is financing through Chrysler, that's the real nightmare... good luck peoples!!!

I bought a 2004 Chrysler Concorde LX with 166,000 miles just two months ago. I have found a few minor problems, but nothing major. The check engine light was a pain in the butt, but I used high mileage oil and Premium Shell gasoline, and it runs very smoothly now.
I only paid $3000 for it, and the physical condition was excellent. I would not say it is a great car, but for an old, high mileage, Chrysler, I couldn't be happier.
There is a problem with the acceleration though. This has been known for a long time though. That is why the LXi and the Limited have bigger engines. I suggest this car as a commute car as opposed to a personal or business use. Slow acceleration, but is great when you reach the speed you want.

If you’re expecting the engine to sludge up and die soon, are you lending credibility to the poster’s complaints about their car's quality?

There is a nostalgic element to this site for sure where people who used it in the dawn of the Internet come back & check in periodically. It’s very possible that old commenters & review writers see comments added many years later.

True, I've been looking at this site since 2001!
Also I have seen reviews dated from 1997/98 that still get comments.
It's a much better car review site than most out there, certainly for older cars.

Dealers are usually useless, and I try to avoid them and use trusted independent garages whenever possible. The problem is warranty work that needs to go through the dealer network. Completely hopeless. Doesn't matter whether it's a 80K BMW or 30K Ford. Response is always below expectations.

I had a 2003 Concorde LXi for three years. I loved the car but recurring problems such as the leather seats cracking (7,000 km) and rattles, made it less than my favorite of the sixteen Chryslers I have owned. Combine those problems with a dealer who could care less and Chrysler Canada's similar attitude - who would think I'd be the happy owner (for three years now) of a 2006 Chrysler 300 Touring? Guess one bad one doesn't spoil the whole barrel.
