Years ago when I first started posting here I started a thread asking about buying a GM W-body. All the GM hate in the thread turned me off the idea, and I ended up buying a 2004 Chrylser Intrepid (Dodge Intrepid in the US) sight unseen with no service history at the local repo auction. When I finally got to check it out after buying it I found the (cloth)interior covered in dog hair. After cleaning it up we drove it for the next 5 years and it has been wonderful. The interior is quite nice and the plastics have a nice feel to them, the engine is gutsy and the ride comfortable with plenty of rear seat room. We did the timing belt (it was a 3.5l) and the trans fluid as a precaution since there was no service history, and the tech told us that it was probably unnecessary as both the old timing belt and the old trans fluid looked good. Only thing that went wrong was the camshaft angle sensor, which threw a MIL but mostly didn't affect driving. This I replaced in my driveway for about $35 in an hour. I've since broken up with my girlfriend at the time, she kept the car for a DD and as far as I know it's still running like a champ 7 years later. I've been somewhat of a Chrysler fan ever since.  EDIT: My parents had a Subaru and were going to get another but I even convinced them to buy a Dodge instead Throatwarbler fucked around with this message at 03:32 on Feb 20, 2015 |
