A compadre of mine worked for a time as a Chrysler salesman. I considered buying an intrepid for a family member who liked the look of the vehicle. My friend told me he would do me a favor and refuse to sell me one. He said he generally directed customers to a different vehicle unless he did not like them. If they were rude to him, he would try to sell them an Intrepid. It was his quiet means of revenge for rudeness.
I had a '95 Intrepid which was an excellent car for what it was supposed to be. Roomy, comfortable, decent MPG, quiet. But it was boring. When I sold it it had ~65K on it, and I saw a lot of those with new transmissions at similar mileage. Common problem.
Another car that seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth is the FWD Lincoln Continental. For a car sold over 15 years (1988-2002) there are hardly any left. How poorly did these sell when new?
Why would you want to see one? I'll say it again. The Eagle Vision was the best looking of the LH cars. Heck the Eagle version of any car was the best looking. They were truly good looking vehicles. From the Vision to the Talon to the Summit and even the Premier (in comparison to its platform siblings).
I drove an LH as a rental when they first came out and remember it to be a pretty nice car. Of course, that was only short term so I may not have gotten the full picture. They were nice looking.
They were nothing special at all whatsoever & that's one big reason why.
Vehicles like older BMW M5's, 94-96 Impala SS, Ford Contour SVT, Ford Taurus SHO, etc. will always be seen more often because they were something special and people tend to hold onto them and once they're done with them, buyers are generally not too hard to find.
Not many people want someone's used 1994 Intrepid with 200,000 miles on it unless they absolutely can't afford anything else.

Low sales compared to the other models in this thread, plus 3.8 head gasket issues, weak transmissions, plus the fact Lincoln people trade fairly often. Second owners could not afford the repairs.
MY brother had one I think with the 2.7L in it. He called it his Dodge Decrepit.
