1997 Chrysler Concorde Overview
Engine and transmission improvements headlined the Concorde's revisions for 1997. This was also the final model year of the sedan's first generation. The Concorde would be totally restyled for 1998. Chrysler also added a better sound system and moved the washer nozzles to the hood.
The base 3.3 liter V-6 was dropped on the LX model, in favor of a larger 3.5 liter version. This new 212 horsepower engine was still paired with a four speed automatic, but the transmission had also been refined. The Concorde's 0-60 time remained around eight and a half seconds., but the larger engine pulled fuel economy down from 20/28 to 18/26 mpg. Owners reported mixed driving averages around 25 mpg.
Some of these older first generation Concordes are closing in on 200,000 miles. Between 100 and 200k, many drivers warn that troubles struts, timing belts, water pumps, and the radiator may occur. While these are common higher mileage issues, others also reported chronic A/C problems in early ownership.

brentjn64 i bought mine used it when it had 91,851 back in 04. Mine looked exactly like the one in this picture. Engine went out at 205,000 in December of 09. I went thru struts but when you in do 60 mph over wash boards on gravel roads what do you expect. I bought it in Nebraska. I took to college and ran great in Tulsa, OK and in K.C. Great car for long trips. It never left me we stranded even when it wasn't firing on all cylinders. I miss my old car. Best 5,000$ i ever spent I didnt have to put any money into it expect for front strut plates. twice i think it was 1,200 repair bill
