I drove an Intrepid that had sludging problems, and then the engine finally blew as I was crossing over a bridge leaving me stranded during rush hour with about 3 feet between me and cars going 60. Bleh.

 

honestly, the magnum that i had was a base model, and it was alot of plastic, but really, most cars are plastic interiors anymore...i think that the interior on the higher end magnums are nicer, but the base mdoel is only like 18,000 or so...so i wouldnt expect much.

as for the intrepid, ballard, i bet that it had the 2.7L engine? how long ago what this (or what year intrepid?)

 

It was the 2.7, and I believe the car was a 2002, and the accident happened in early January. The car did have over 100k miles, which Im told is because I used synthetic oil.

 

the reason that it happened is a common problem and somehow alot of places dont know about this, but the 2.7s had a crankcase pressure problem, which was caused by not changing the oil frequently enough. the dirt ni the oil would plug up the PCV, which caused more pressure, and increasd heat, and the motor woudl basically melt. when working for dodge, i saw 3 or 4 in a years time with this issue. did you buy the car new or used?

looks like a bad dream

 

hmm.... when is dodge gonna learn? just makin a fast car ain't good enough, it needs to look good too! cases in point: this ugly POS and the srt-4....

just my opinion... but i hate it.

 

i dont like it either,..

 

great opinion but the local yolcals (rednecks) have that domestic pride thing and will buy that **** up like a 12 year old girl with a britney spears cd.

 

I dont think it is too bad, lower it a bit, nice set of rims. Black on black car should look ok.

 

here is the "mopar performance caliber"...
