Up for auction is a 2000 Dodge Intrepid ES. This car was very reliable until the timing belt broke last week while I was driving it. I didn't hear any loud catastrophic noise, but can not guarantee that the engine didn't suffer any damage. I was told that the only way to determine this is to replace the timing belt and see if it runs. I was just accelerating from a stop when it happened, so was probably doing only about 20 MPH.

Car has been completely smoke-free for its entire life. I did all the maintenance and oil changes, and have receipts as well as a spreadsheet that I kept listing all the routine maintenance and any repairs. Car has small dent in rear driver-side door, where my son opened his car door into my car in our driveway. Also, it has dings in the hood, from ice melting and falling off a pitched metal roof in a strip-mall parking lot. Tires need to be replaced, and the front struts as well. The front passenger power window only works intermittently, power door locks needs new solenoid valve - need to usually manually lock and unlock doors, a/c needs charge, plastic piece on sunroof needs to be replaced - or else you can only "vent" the sunroof.

Car has alloy wheels, fog lights, air bags, and has been a very reliable vehicle.

I am the original and only owner. 180,690 miles. This could be a great investment for a mechanic, or someone looking to salvage the parts.

Note the car does not run, so you must arrange to have it towed. Additionally, payment must be made within 72 hours of bid closing.

Please feel free to ask me any questions. Good luck!

Weekly Recap: New bosses try to jump-start Cadillac and Lincoln

Sat, 26 Jul 2014



Both of America's domestic luxury brands seem to be stuck in neutral.
It's ironic that Cadillac and Lincoln got new bosses within days of each other this month. It's also a commentary on the fact both of America's domestic luxury brands seem to be stuck in neutral.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013

Wed, 02 Jan 2013

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.

NHTSA investigating Ram 1500 models for rear differential failure

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and its Ram brand following a number of reports regarding the 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup. According to 15 consumer complaints, the trucks' rear differential locked up while in other cases, the driveshaft separated at its connection to the diff.
Nearly half of the reports claim the truck was traveling at or above 50 miles per hour, while two consumers reported that the diff lockup/driveshaft separation sent their pickups into a spin. Most troubling, though, is that consumers reported little to no sound indicating there was a problem with their truck.
We reached out to Ram for additional information, such as how many vehicles may be affected or what equipment might be fitted that could cause the issue. Unfortunately, the company wasn't willing to elaborate on specifics.
