For the new daily(looking to buy within the next 90 days), I'm going to be looking at 98-04 style Intrepid, Concorde and 300. What I wanted to know, are there any big common issues I should be aware of? Any recalls that I should ask about when looking at them etc. I need a full size sedan, I would prefer rwd, but I like these enough to overlook them being fwd. Do they ride nicely? Because that's kind of an issue also. I've been driving a sport compact for the last 5 years, so I really want to have a comfortable ride for my next car, basically I'm going to be looking at these, and 94-02 Caddy fleetwood, 98+ Towncar and 00-05 Impalas. So please tell me how the big chryslers compare to the other cars for comfort and reliability.

for starts the a/c evaporator are an issue in all the lh cars. be careful about the a/c. second of all if you get a vehicle with the 2.7L make sure it is 2002 or later. overall they are great cars, but they are starting to age so just be a smart buyer

Of the group, the Chrysler 300M is going to be the best choice. The Intrepid's are big enough cars, and decent on gas mileage, but avoid the 2.7L V6 at all cost....even the ones made after 2002 are just **** motors....and the only exception to purchasing one with a 2.7L would be if you got a steal of a deal on it...
All 3 cars are relatively the same size, layout, and mpg averages. The 300 and Concorde are a bit more upscale, but the Intrepid is the more roomy of the 3.
Like Nick said, the A/C evap is an issue on all the Intrepids.....
Unfortunately, the only RWD big sedans for the last 20 years has pretty much been GM and Ford....
