A buyer's checks

NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. NHTSA has 161 owner complaints on file, mostly about steering, engine and engine cooling and service brakes. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.

The figures, translated

The 3.3L 6-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

The combined figure, 11.8 L/100 km, means roughly 35 litres for 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $54.87 in energy at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Living with the Concorde

As a large sedan, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. Its 538 litre trunk is enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

Best uses

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

A longer test drive

Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Rent the Concorde for a week and see how it fits your life. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

What it costs to run

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $182.90 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$3,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Year and trim

A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Within the 1996 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
