Intrepid SE 2.7L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 107,000 miles

My poor mother...she bought this car 2 years ago from a trusted (but not anymore) car salesmen in our hometown...unfortunately, it cost her about $7,000 cash for this worthless peace of junk...then, when she moved, she sold it to a friend for $2,800. Long story short, I moved back and saw the car sitting. So i approached the man that my mom sold it to, and asked what was wrong with it. He said he didn't know, he thought the engine was shot. Being an 18 year old know-it-all, i said, i can fix it. how much you wanna sell it for. So far, $600 bucks too much. As of right now, i know that they put a glass-pack on, and when we sold the car everything was factory. Engine ran great, 88,000 miles and not a single problem. He said that it only ran for 6 months...and to tell you the truth, when my mom had the oil changed, my mechanic said there was no problems with sludge...he said it was surprisingly clean for the 2.7 litre... I have a friend watching the car at the moment and he said that the oil came out like tar...only good sign...no metallic shiny stuff...so hopefully its just sludge at this point, an nothing got seriously wrecked...it taught me a lesson thou...DON'T LET MY MOM GO TO A CAR DEALERSHIP WITHOUT A CAR-KNOWLEDGEABLE PERSON WITH!!!!

We have used full synthetic oil since 60000km and our car's oil light came on and then the motor seized. Our car is only five years old and its not even drivable. This thing is junk.
