1999 Dodge Intrepid ES review from North America
"Great car if you change the timing belt"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Inner tie rod replaced at 75000, only cost me $200.
CHANGE YOUR TIMING BELT AND WATER PUMP at around 80k!!! My timing belt went at 98000 miles and ruined the engine, so I ended up junking the car! If I would have fixed it, it would have lasted a couple more years.
Also don't get the 2.7L engine model, the 3.2L is very reliable compared the the flawed 2.7L.
General comments?
The car is a very good car, very comfortable with the leather.
Handles very nice and I loved the shiftronic.
Not expensive for the car.
Very roomy.
Loved it.. wish I would have changed the timing belt.
