In reply to how many miles have I got out of my intrepid/concorde
1994 intrepid with 3.3L - 178000 kms - no major powertrain issues - broke a seat mount and wore out the OEM struts (of course) at this low a mileage, there should not be too many problems.bought this car from another owner this year. it's only faults were lack of TLC and respect.
1995 Concorde with 3.3L - 455000 kms - blew the trans at 399700 km, replaced with a wrecking yard unit I resealed myself and installed in the yard. Replace OEM rotors, calipers and wheel bearings for the first time at 425000 kms....replaced several water pumps and rebuilt the starter once. Oh yeah - rebuilt the alternator a year ago. Burns no oil and everything still works as it did new - and I can park beside cars with a quarter of the mileage and it looks as good.
Regardless what some people say - unless canadian cars are built with better quality control, these old cars are dead nuts tough, simple to work on, comfortable and get great gas mileage (32 MPG - 32 miles per IMPERIAL gallon of gas) fit, finish and simplicity are all fine points and if they still made the first gen concorde/intrepid, I would buy another
