Although I can’t recommend the Intrepid and I would say that there isn’t a good deal on one anywhere; it isn’t that bad of a risk. Newer cars with the same mileage would cost more. That means that there is extra money for repairs IF NEEDED. It may never need major repairs.
The engine is the most vulnerable part of the car. Neglect in the form of extended mileage oil changes is bad. To find out about recall work, go to a dealer maintenance department. They need the VIN (registration). Most people keep the recall paperwork. If you didn’t get any with the car, that is a negative sign too. Having proof of oil changes is also good.
