The 2001 Dodge Intrepid for buyers
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2001 Dodge Intrepid for sale by us right now. Here is the 2001 Dodge Intrepid for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
What to check on the Intrepid
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 656 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine and engine cooling, steering and power train; have those parts checked. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
What the figures tell you
Its powertrain is the 2.7L 6-cylinder with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
It is rated at 11.5 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 35 litres. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $17.83. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,275 a year for 15,000 miles.
What the Intrepid is like
Being a large sedan, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Luggage space is rated at 510 litres: a family's bags for a long weekend.
A good match for
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Try before you buy
A test week in the Intrepid tells you more than any review. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the Intrepid for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$3,275 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Year and trim
Within the 2001 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Your move
Tell us the car you are considering, and we will help where we can.
Rent it for a week before you buy
