Nice to see so many Canadians here. I'm also a Canadian and have just purchased a 98 Intrepid ES. Wow! It's fast! Everything seems to be fine so far except I am a little worried that it has surpassed the 200 000 km mark. The price was right for my budget though at just under $11 000.
I look forward to reading your informative posts. Many have already caught my eye. Like the middle brake lights burning out (had to replace mine) and the waxing tips. My hood is pretty beat up from stone chips probably due to the 200kms per day (hopefully highway kms) the previous owner drove it. Also will be keeping a close eye and ear on the transmission.
I have one year powertrain warranty from Lubrico so that eases my mind a bit. Anybody know how to go about getting the maintenance history of a vehicle? Looks like the previous owner visited the dealer monthly for oil changes etc for 6 months in a row but that's where the paper trail ends. I'm hoping he kept up that torid pace of maintenance. I really need to know if timing belt has been changed. Should I just call the guy?
Thanks Randy, for pointing me to the new forum.
