I'm scrapin' my cash together for a 9-5 SE V6, which will replace my 1996 Intrepid ES. I loved the Intrepid when I bought it. Then it broke, and I tried to get it fixed. This revealed to me Chrysler's Achille's heel: their absolutely horrid dealership network. If you check DejaNews, you can find the sad tale of the last few months of my Intrepid lease. The long and short of it is, I won't be buying another Chrysler product for the forseeable future. Had Chrysler's dealerships done a better job fixing the car, or even done a better job kissing up to me after they messed up (repeatedly), I might be buying a 300M. Instead, I'm looking at Saabs. They handle better than Chrysler LH sedans, have about the same trunk room, and there are far, far fewer posts in the Saab newsgroup about defects, lemons, premature failures, and so forth. Every Saab owner I've known has owned Saabs for long periods of time, and has usually owned more than one. -- Rob Levandowski roblnopsamhiz.com
