The smell was gone at around 300 miles.

The dashboard shot shows a virtual twin of the 300M but the overhead interior shot shows a different, slightly bulging center stack.
What does the dashboard of the 2002 Concorde actually look like? Any photos out there?
BTW, I checked out the 300M forum as you suggested and found everyone there to be quite vocal and enthusiastic about their cars! It sounds like the Concorde Limited, while not a member of the club, has more in common with the 300M (though not as good looking) than with the Concorde LX/LXi.
I will continue to follow the 300M forum too, although I won't be customizing and tweaking my Concorde like I would if I personally owned it.

labels that will cover them. They have the Chrysler name and wing logo below it. Although not shown on their web site
they will make them up in a rectangular shape with rounded edges at
2-3/4" X 5" that will cover the sticker on the 300M visors.They are available in silver background with black letttering,
black background with gold lettering or gold background with black lettering.The following catalogue numbers are not
shown on the web site but are what you should use if you want to order them.
VISORSLV-05 for silver background
VISORBK-05 for black background
VISORGLD-05 for gold background
If you are driving a Concord, Sebring ,Intrepid T&C or Neon and want these just measure your labels to make sure
they will cover the stickers on your cars.
You see what they look like for the PT cruiser and also place your orders at the following site.
www.ptwarehouse.com/index1.htm
They cost $16.00 U.S. a pair
I can believe the deals that can still be had. Chrysler LH platform cars are the biggest value cars, underestimated and even looked down on by the import buying crowd. Some dealers are actually advertising $7K off sticker price on brand new cars. To me that's all that matters, because one day could be all the difference between a car labelled as 2001 or 2002. Anyway, $28K or so for a brand new 2001 300M can be found around these parts in No Va. So good luck and I hope you enjoy your new car.

I am impressed! Powerful engine, comfy seats, high quality interior trim, stylish looking, great stereo, nimble handling. This car handles like a much smaller car and the dashboard is one of the best looking I've ever seen.
Negatives? Not the quietest cruiser, but not noisy either. Steering is over boosted. Questionable Chrysler reliability.
This one had a sunroof, luxury package, side airbags, and upgraded stereo for an MSRP of about $30,700. The salesman mentioned a $1500 rebate right now and the invoice on Edmunds comes out to $28,400. That's a lot of car for about $27,000!
I can't wait to get mine!
The car has been good to me so far. I am looking forward to paying it off.

I now have about 75,000 miles on my car and I have had several problems with the cooling fans, window and door motors but all were covered under my extended warranty.
I have to say that overall my Concorde was a reliable vehicle and in my opionion I feel a well made car that in my time of ownership never required any mechanical drive train repairs.
I always have and still do find the Concorde to be a very good looking car which has brought me many complements over the years.
It's now time for me to replace my 99 Concorde and I have decided not to replace it with another Concorde and the main reasons being....extremely limited front legroom in the front passenger seat(not very comfortable if your over 6'tall but great if your under 6 foot(I have a friend who is 6'4" and when we go out together we can never take my car as he is too uncomfortable in the front passenger seat so we end up taking his car)......second reason and main reason is the noisy ride....I have to say that this has been the noisiest car I can remember owning....hopefully Chrysler in the future will design a new quieter car then I may very well become a Chrysler ownwer again .
Good luck and happy shopping!
Does this sound reasonable, or is there another avenue I should be pursuing in regards to getting a warranty? My cousin works at this dealership that gave me the price, and I had him look up the car I bought by VIN number, and I found out that 2 window motors have been replaced (both drivers side) and the AC Head was replaced, along with a dome light, all within the last year. So, hopefully all the problematic issues have already been taken care of.
I put a lot of miles on my cars, and the 48,000 warranty will probably only last me 1 year or so, possibly 14 months. I just don't know if its worth it! Any input?
PS - I LOVE this car!!!
Thanks!

I just got a 7 yr 100,000 mi for about 60% of what Chrysler Corp. was going to charge,this is a five star dealer in Des Moines Iowa.
Also, try California Dream.com for a great spoiler to dress up the back end.
I put them on today, looks a lot better now.
I went with the silver background as I do not like gold trim of any kind on a car, the silver at least blends with the chrome accents in the car.
when I called the fellow reminded me to make sure to put them on the right way so that they would be right side up with the visor in the down position, but I rather have them rightside up with the visor up, because I want them to look ok from the inside
as I drive and do not care if they are upside down when I am driving into the sun.
-How many common parts these models share (%)
-How many common part Concorde and 300M share (%)
-Is the chassis the same in Concorde and 300M?
-Is the chassis the same in Concorde and Intrepid?
-Does Concorde LX have more in common with Intrepid STD/ES or 300M?
Basically I would need to prove that technically Concorde LX is closer to Intrepid than to 300M. Is this mission impossible?
Does anyone know the answer or know from where I can get this information?
1. safety
2. reliability
Thank you for any comments
I bought a 2002 Concorde LXI 5 months ago and I've really enjoyed the car. It now has 9,880 miles with no complaints. Fuel mileage is 18-20 in town and 29 on the highway. I've been to Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico on two road trips from Texas and it runs great with a good ride.
I've always had GM cars and really was caught off guard by the 2002 Concorde. Shop around, get the full extended warranty and you should be in good shape.

I imagine that the biggest variable would be the engine.
Why does this matter for export?
Did you ask this in the 300M discussion? I don't recall seeing it there.
Back in 1999 I bought a 1999 Concorde Sedan. It was a farely good ride. Little noisy but ok. Changed its oil regularly. I left the country and while away my brother in law drove and cared for the car. In March 2001 brother took it in for its 25,000 mile tune up and oil change. In april 2001 there were problems with the car slipping out of gear, not going into reverse or park. At that time the car had 28,213 miles and the dealership sighted internal parts in transmission faulty..The dealership replaced the transmission and changed the oil at that time.
The concorde came up for lease renewal in 2/2002 and I was going to turn it in. It passed Chryslers inspection but my husband and I were returning to the states and figured we would hold onto the car for 6 months more. BIG MISTAKE.
So... I am sure you are thinking many things at this point. Well in February my husband checked the oil...routine. No oil. That is funny the oil light never came on. Brother said last oil change in October but has no receipt. Went to have oil changed- mechanic said yikes. Need to have it changed again in two weeks to clean it out. We did. But last monday this noise started going. Yep folks at less than 45,000 miles and no warranty the engine is going to blow.
So please stop shaking your heads and let me know if this transmission and oil gussling problem could be related to my engine (hey I am a girl) and is it really possible that in 14,000 between the last oil change on record and the current that my engine tanked?
I ask this because my parents 1992 Olds Cutlass only needs its oil changed every 10,000 miles and has 165,000 miles on it and runs like a freaking top!!!
I need help so have pitty. Chrystler is pointing a finger at me. My
I was shocked to see the trade in value. I hope it holds up, because it is going down fast in value.
I have owned them since my first new one, a 69 Charger I bought new $4000.00 cash when I came back from Nam. They didn't hold their value then and they don"don't hold their value now but they look great and go fast what more can a man ask from his car.

The HomeLink garage door opener system works by learning the code from your systems transmitter. Hold the button down while holding the button on the transmitter--the light will flash at a different rate (slower or faster I don't remember) when it has learned the frequency (10-15 seconds ususally). Some newer garage door systems have a button that must be pressed (on the opener) that allows the HomeLink system to learn the code. This requires two people to perform this task.
I saw some post here that say the new 02's have had some additional sound deadening but I am not convinced. Anyone out there with 99 vs 02 experience that can chime in and any former Intrigue or Sable owners comment would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Larry
Has anybody seen info on what changes are in store for '03? If anyone could list reference web sites, etc. I'd surely appreciate it!
I'd HATE to get my new ride and then kick myself when that model goes next generation the following model year. Don't all car lovers have this same problem/fear?
Thanks for your consideration.
The Concorde is a lot of car for the money.
P.S. I'm still waiting for my '02 Concorde Limited (company car) to arrive. For what it's worth, I did find out that it will be blue.
I love it , good power, ride, and looks all for 25 grand. What kind of company considers this a company car? Most company now go with Taurus or malibu's. Good luck with your new ride.
BTW, the brochure I have indicates that there are two blue colours, steel and dark metallic. I prefer the steel blue and have been hoping to get one in that colour.
I'll let you know which one I get in about a month.
The Mustang GT and Firebird Formula V8 were $19,800, as was the Ford Escape, Dodge Intrepid, and Buick LeSabre. The Taurus and Regal were about $18,500.
I considered all of the above cars, and I ultimately chose the Concorde. I think we (the taxpayers) got our money's worth. $20,000+/- is not unreasonable for a G-Ride that will see six or seven years of service.
frito - Personally, I prefer to think of the Concorde as a pimpin mofo
and speakin' of a pimped Concorde, check out my homie Diego's ride at:
