1999 Dodge Intrepid review from North America
"AWESOME exterior and interior, but please, do not buy this car... explanation inside"
General comments?
I wish I would have seen these reviews before I got my Intrepid! Had my Intrepid (first car) for 6 months, parked it, let it sit for a week during Christmas, moved it to the front of my house, and turned it off. Wouldn't start after that :\
After being diagnosed, we were told the timing change slipped (just slightly). We gave the car all new belts and new timing changes (the main, primary and secondary chains) put it back together and it doesn’t work >:|
Currently between deciding whether or not to put a little extra money into the car. Thinking I might be selling it for parts (kills me because it’s so nice interior AND exterior) because it does after all have 150000 miles on it (and reading all these reviews, I’m lucky to have gotten the maybe 12000 of my own miles into it (foolish choice to buy car with so many miles on it)).
I hope that for anyone considering a purchase of a Dodge Intrepid, they will seriously take these reviews into account.
This quote is from an elderly friend I once knew:
Being smart is learning from your own mistakes, but being wise is learning from other’s mistakes.
